DT Benchmark not launching

[Drimn]

I'm getting a stack overflow when I try to load the benchmark.

I've set the launcher to run as administrator and turned off read-only on the folder it's in and all files inside of it. I have a 4080, an i7-13700F, and 32 GB of RAM, so I doubt it's a performance issue.

The benchmark is also not working for me, currently running with a 3060ti, r5 5600x. and 32gb of RAM. Already tried reinstalling, updating drivers, running as admin, restarting PC, sfc /scannow, no old benchmarks downloaded, changing download location.
The errors I have in Event Viewer are the following:

I have the exact same errors

I had to uninstall the current version of .net and downgrade to 4.5 to get the launcher GUI to run. I'm pretty sure it's a problem near-unique to my system though, I've never heard of anything else like it.

Do you mind sharing step by step how you did that? I think I may be having the same issue with .NET

[tinyTiff]

I downloaded the benchmark on my tablet computer and was able to launch it and the character creator on there. I then copied the extracted folder onto the computer that couldn't launch the benchmark and was finally able to launch it. But now the character creator isn't launching. A black screen will open and then close after a few seconds.

I've got the same error, in the Event Viewer. I've tried to reinstalled .Net throught Control Pannel and .msi from MS. I also tried the "wbem" solution.
Nothing seems to be working.

edit: Ah, looks like someone else already found out a solution. That didn't work for me unfortunately, so whatever is going on with my computer remains a mystery. I'll leave this here though, just in case.

1. First, you'll want to download the 4.5 installer off Microsoft's website. There's an offline and online version, the offline might be more convenient if you find yourself in a position to experiment with swapping.
2.Then as a precaution, look in your installed programs list and find out what version you're currently using. Get the installer for that too, since obviously if you use any other software using later versions putting 4.5 on is going to make them all stop working.
2a. Make a system restore point of your own for extra paranoia mitigation.
3. Go into Add or Remove Programs, uninstall whatever version of .net you have going. It'll probably take a while.
4. Install 4.5. It will also take a while. No restarts were needed during any of this.
5. Try to run the benchmark. If the launcher GUI starts up now and you can change the settings/etc, yay.
5a. If it doesn't and that wasn't your problem, either system restore back to your old .net, or use the later version installer to upgrade your .net back to where it's supposed to be. You can run that one without uninstalling 4.5 since it's an upgrade. The only reason for the previous uninstall is that .net installers will stop and tell you no if you try to run an earlier one while a more recent version is on your system.

X. If you don't have any version of .net framework installed, well, that would explain your problem.

???. Later versions of .net are supposed to be wholly compatible with applications built for earlier versions, so I have no idea why it's behaving this way.

Hi there, my friends seems to be having a problem too and I am afraid that it might leak into the main game as well (he can't check it right now, he doesn't have the money for a sub at the moment). Can anyone say if this would affect the full game and how can we possibly try to fix it? Here's a forum post that goes a little more into detail of this problem, if you don't mind.
