Deskscapes crashs repeatly every time I change the static wallpaper or motion video

from Stardock Forums

Hi sup,

 

I have 3 monitors,

one is 1080*1920 

one is 2560*1440

one is 1920*1080

Every time I changed the wallpaper by deskscapes 10, it will be crashed and disappeared with doing nothing. Can some supporters or technicans solve this problem for me? We can use the Teamviewers for  show more details. 

This is my computer spec:

CPU: i7 10700k

RAM: 32Gb 3600Mhz

Graphic Card: GTX 1080

I do not think that my spec is not meet the software requirement.

please help me.

P/S: My OS version is: 1909 (OS Build 18363.1256)

Are you using Riva Tuner or MSI Afterburner.  You will need to exclude them from the Riva Tuner server app, this what worked for me.

Thanks jlarmstr1, was you also facing the same issue as OP?

Yes, with Riva Tuner Server (packaged with MSI Afterburner), attempting to switch or highlight a new wall paper, static or animated, the configuration applet just shuts down.  I am able to create and exception rule in the Riva Tuner Server to ignore DreamScapesConfig.exe by setting the application detection level to None (effectively removing the hook on that process I suspect).   I also create the same rule for all the dreamscape executables 'just in case' .... after which it works fine. 

The only other bug I can report is that Dreamscapes labels my monitors in a different order than windows/nvidia driver.  Dreamscapes monitor 1 is the system monitor 2 and the Dreamscapes monitor 2 is the system's monitor 1.  I am running a 3 monitor setup, and monitor 3 is monitor 3 for both Dreamscapes and the system.
