Mistfall Hunter Won’t Launch or Closes Immediately

Direct answer

If no game window appears or the process closes before login, treat it as a local startup failure first. Preserve the crash message and test low-risk causes before changing drivers or system settings.

Low-risk checks

Confirm Windows 10 64-bit or later and DirectX 12 support; the official minimum lists 12 GB RAM.
Verify the game files through the storefront.
Temporarily close overlays or capture tools one at a time, then retest.
Check Windows Security protection history for a blocked game file.
Save the crash dialog, Event Viewer application error, and game log before any reinstall.

Higher-risk changes

A graphics driver change may be relevant when the crash names a graphics module, but a clean driver removal is disruptive and should not be the first blind step.
