Hi Lia, sorry for the delay.
It is an error that can occur for various reasons. Usually this error is resolved by updating the graphics card drivers. The other possibility I think is that you may be low on hard drive space.

Ya, does't start for me either "other than start menu" and still tries to start VR even with -nohmd and resets itself to full screen with gameusersettings set to 0 so nothing works. I have no other programs running like anti virus or the like and running on Win10 with NVIDIA 1660 super all updated and plenty of room on hard drive and memory.

Hi, so I understand that the fatal error message happens to you after you press the start game button? That is, at what point does it occur?

What processor do you have?

(The VR option is something I need to remove because it is not designed for VR use)

Thanks for the report.

Fatal error!

Thank you so much for the report and for taking the time to see what is going on. So the speech recognizer is the culprit, I see.

The error occurs in whisper.dll and whisper is based on SDL.dll. My main suspicion is that the SDL in the game is already outdated. In the new version for UE5 that I am working on, it already has the most recent version, I hope that with that the problem will be solved.

Unfortunately, UE5 required an update to visual studio 2022 and I can no longer compile the game in UE4. I mean, at the moment I cannot update the current version of steam :(.

Please, tell me:

When does the error occur? (from startup or if it lets you run the game and it happens when the microphone starts to be used)

What is the model of the microphone you use?

If you disconnect your microphone, does the game work?

Again, thank you very much for taking the time and reporting it.
