alien Can't initialize alien.exe in Windows 11

I'm using Windows 11 and I have the latest NVIDIA 3090 drivers. Each time I try to open alien, I just see a quick black screen appearing rapidly and a termina, but then they disappear.

I don't have much experience with Windows 11 yet. Did you compile the project yourself? If you used the installer: Was it up to date (i.e. not older than one week?)

Some typical error sources and solutions are listed here https://alien-project.org/downloads.html under Troubleshooting.

If that didn't help, there is also a log.txt file. What does it say?

Sorry I already uninstalled it. But it was via the installer.

I installed it again. Still doesn't opens. Where can I find that log.txt file?

The file is located in the program's folder. So normally in c:\Users\Username\AppData\alien\bin. It may be that because of Windows 11 there are compatibility problems. I'll surely have a look at this in the future. It's best to compile the source code yourself. But I fully understand that this is annoying if you don't have the whole toolchain installed.
