[Solved] ScummVM does not start on Windows 10

[Herbie63]

Hi there,

I did a fresh install of ScummVM 2.8.1 on my Windows 10 (Win10 pro, 64 bit) machine.
A ScummVM screen is shown for 3 seconds, then it closes.

scummvm.log shows the following:
[2024-04-02 18:46:26] ScummVM 2.8.1 (Mar 16 2024 13:01:03)

[2024-04-02 18:46:26] WARNING: Libretro is not supported!

I didn't enable anything, it's a fresh install and it never started.

scummvm.ini:
[scummvm]
last_window_height=1440
versioninfo=2.8.1
last_window_width=1920

Does anyone have an idea what's going on?

Thanks a lot for your replies!

Maybe check your video drivers, I'm a bit worried about VSync and the lack of shader support.

Thanks rootfather, that solved my problem.

I always used Microsoft drivers that were found by Windows-Update.
Now I looked at the AMD website and found a new driver there. ScummVM is running now.

Thanks a lot, that really helped me (although I feel a bit stupid now)!

No problem at all - thanks a lot for your report! Especially this shortly after a release, we are always thankful if we get reports that could indicate a problem we missed.
