So, Construct 2 was working fine when it prompted me to download an update. I obliged, but after the update Contruct simply won't launch. Though the Construct window never loads, I can see in the task manager that the program is running briefly before it closes.
I have tried reinstalling update 275, then 272, which was version I was using before. I also made a rule in my antivirus program to ignore Construct. I also tried to disable my antivirus completely while opening Construct. No dice.
I don't think there's a reason to supply a .capx, since this problem persists on all .capx. Opening directly from a capx doesn't work either.
Steps to reproduce:
Try to launch Construct 2.
Expected result:
Construct 2 launches.
Observed result:
Construct 2 doesn't launch.
I found this crash report on my computer, maybe it can help? Some of it is in Danish though:
