Describe the bug
The app does not launch at all on the Lenovo Legion Go 2 running Windows 11. After installing the application successfully, attempting to start it results in nothing happening — no window opens, no splash screen appears, and the process either immediately closes or never visibly starts.

Debug Log
Unable to provide logs because the application does not launch far enough to generate visible output/log files.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install chiaki-ng on a Lenovo Legion Go 2 running Windows 11
  2. Finish installation normally
  3. Attempt to launch the application from the Start Menu or desktop shortcut
  4. Observe that the application does not open or display any UI

Expected behavior
The application should launch normally and display the main interface after installation.

Screenshots
N/A

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 11
  • Version: Latest available updates installed
  • Device: Lenovo Legion Go 2
  • chiaki-ng Version: [fill in your installed version]

Additional context
The issue occurs immediately after installation on a fresh launch attempt. No error message is shown. Reinstalling the application did not resolve the issue.

likely due to a vulkan issue on your system such as having a recording app with a vulkan layer that's breaking and causing chiaki-ng to crash. Can you try setting CHIAKI_FORCE_VULKAN_FALLBACK=1 on a command prompt and then launching chiaki-ng from the command prompt and see if that works? If it does you can switch to opengl in the settings to use that. If you want to fix the vulkan problem itself, please try debugview from Microsoft. Open it before chiaki-ng and then open chiaki-ng and post logs here.
