Stepmania Crashes on startup: Unhandled Microsoft C++ Exception
After slamming a good 30-ish songs in my stepmania folder. Tries to start the game -> crash. Intuitively I deleted all folders/items containing strange symbols, but nothing changed. Reinstalling (quite a few times already) changes nothing as well. I've also tried installing the game in a different location, nothing changed.

From the logs, it sounds like a graphics card thing. Is your graphics card driver up to date?
Reminds me of a similar issue I had. Although, I was a bit annoyed at the time so I closed it... Perhaps there is something actually here that is a problem...
Edit: Both his and mine seem to point at these. Might be relevant...

Edit: I tried swapping d3d/opengl with no luck. It's worse for me. It gives me a fatal error in that case. I would recommend you try that in preferences.ini @Neverlink If not already. Might work for you.
So, I found out something for my case. I am running in a local user. I added "run as admin" to the program and it worked fine. @Neverlink are you running a local user as well or admin?
Yes i've tried that, no difference. I am the only admin of the computer as well.
I do have one other question that might be the issue. In your preferences, do you have autogen on? If so, turn it off and try again.
Yes i've tried that, no difference. I am the only admin of the computer as well.
I may be have the same problem as you. I hope this will help you to solve it!!
Right-click on the Stepmania and open file location - Stepmania 5 location folders, then delete "Cache" 'WARNING! You may lose score of yours, be sure to save if you want to!'
It should be like this if you not sure. C:\Games\StepMania 5 <file directory
