New Win Install, New CDK install, still crashes

Fresh Windows Install, Fresh War Thunder install, and Fresh CDK (WarThunderCDK_2024_07_24__17_35) install and 1st time opening the CDK it crashes.
Do the CDK Devs even test this thing before releasing it because it’s the same errors I’ve been OCCASIONALLY getting on the previous version (WarThunderCDK_2023_12_05__23_57).
So out of 10 attempts to open this new version, it has crashed all 10 times now, I even ran the ‘Check Files’ in the War Thunder launcher after the 5th time the new CDK crashed and it still crashed 5 more times after that.

I sometimes forget to install driver updates after a fresh install of windows, have you updated the drivers (most notably the graphics cards drivers)?

Everything is 100% before i installed WT and the CDK.

I have since uinstalled the newest version (WarThunderCDK_2024_07_24__17_35), deleted the leftover WarThunderCDK folder, rebooted and reiinstalled the previous CDK (WarThunderCDK_2023_12_05__23_57) and I have no problems starting it up and opening up a map although if I zoom across the map too fast it does crash.

What’s the GPU then?

And with the mentioning of the video drivers, are you sure you’ve disabled the onboard graphics if you are using a dedicated GPU?

Onboard graphics have been disabled since this system was built.
GPU is a GeForce GTX 1060 6GB with up to date drivers.
Not buying a new GPU now because of a planned new system around the end of November.

There is no question about the power of your GPU, it was just straight about the onboard and what you had.

Have you restarted the PC since you’ve installed all of this, and have you had the CDK running on it prior?

Yes, I reboot anytime I install or uninstall software. Might be overkill but I do it so everything resets and so on.
CDK has been working on this system long before this. Guess I’ll have to just run the “2023_12_05__23_57” version.

What map did you try to load?

Well, thats the thing. I simply tried to open a Berlin.bin file in the new version of the CDK and it immediately crashed. Yes, I did download the new CDK again just in case I got a boogered up D/L. I tried it multiple times before trying the Water.bin file and having it crash too.
Switched back to the previous version “2023_12_05__23_57” and I had no issue opening up the "Berlin.bin & ‘water.bin’ files and Dagger made maps.

There’s your answer

But when trying to load Water.bin as well? That map literally has Nothing on it. I really wish Gaijin Devs would put some real thought and work into the editor.
