Windrose Crash Triage Helper

Crash triage helper
Order the first checks
Five triage checks
Crash stage
Crashes before the main menu
The first repeatable stage decides which checks come first.
Windows
Windows state not checked
Official rows expect 64-bit Windows, so platform state matters.
GPU driver
Driver state unknown
Driver checks come before guessing visual preset fixes.
Steam files
Steam files not verified yet
File verification is a low-cost check before deeper repairs.
Storage
Storage not checked
Tight storage can complicate installs, patches, and route tests.
Triage result
76
crash pressure score
Do not keep tuning blindly
The crash pattern needs ordered triage. Fix platform and file checks first, then test a fresh short route.
First fix
Verify Windrose files in Steam before changing settings or reinstalling.

Tool note
This helper gives an order of checks, not a guaranteed fix. Back up saves before risky troubleshooting, and confirm current-build crash behavior before publishing final advice.
If the game reaches a route but fails later, separate crash triage from normal graphics tuning.
