I just got a fresh install for the newest retroarch 1.7.3 and when i go to open it it opens for a second then immediately closes. I have no idea why and I didn’t do anything different to running 1.7.2 which worked fine.
how did you install? Did you get the redist libs from the buildbot?
Downloaded the x64 installer from http://retroarch.com/?page=platforms
The log only says this.

There’s your issue. Open your retroarch.cfg and change video_driver = “gl” to “d3d11”
i tried that didnt help
Alright, try changing it to “gdi”
i fixed the problem some how when i updated my graphics driver it completely removed support for opengl and vulkan. once i updated them again with the beta driver from nvidia all is wall.

I am seeing this with multiple games with the last 3 releases (in the last 10 days) of the Nvidia Drivers. People may want a sticky to know it is NOT RetroArch, but Nvidia driver related.
