## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install the [latest release](https://github.com/storytold/designcraft/releases/latest). DesignCraft remembers a start that never showed a window and tries the next graphics backend on the following start. On Windows the order is DirectX 12, Vulkan, then OpenGL, and the status bar says when it switches. A reporter who could not start 0.5.0 on Windows 11 Enterprise wrote that 0.6.0 launched without trouble.
|
||||
2. If it still closes, set an environment variable named `WGPU_BACKEND` with the value `dx12`. Start DesignCraft from a shell where it is set, or add it in Windows settings for your account. People who hit this crash with an AMD graphics driver reported that DesignCraft starts with `WGPU_BACKEND=dx12`.
