Blank / black Sign in window on Windows 11 (v4.1.2 and v4.1.3)
Description
The Hydra sign-in window opens as a completely blank/dark window on Windows 11.
The main Hydra launcher works normally:
- Home page loads
- Catalogue loads
- Images and game information load
- Internet connection works
However, when I click Sign in, the separate authentication window is completely blank.
The Hydra authentication website works correctly in a normal browser, and I was able to create an account there.
Versions tested
- Hydra v4.1.3 setup version
- Hydra v4.1.2 portable version
The issue happens on both versions.
System
- OS: Windows 11
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7520U
- GPU: AMD Radeon integrated graphics
- RAM: 16 GB
Steps to reproduce
- Open Hydra Launcher.
- Click Sign in.
- A separate hydralauncher window opens.
- The window remains completely blank/dark.
Expected behavior
The Hydra login/sign-in page should appear inside the authentication window.
Actual behavior
The authentication window opens but displays no content.
Things I already tested
- Reset
%appdata%\hydralauncher - Tested v4.1.3
- Tested v 4.1.2 portable
- Verified official SHA-256 hashes
- Tested with
--disable-gpu - The Hydra auth website works in Microsoft Edge.
- Successfully created a Hydra account in the browser
- The `` protocol successfully opens Hydra.
- Browser login opens Hydra, but the account is not applied in the launcher.
Logs
One startup error appeared:
Failed to load app state during startup Error: Database is not open
Normal catalogue/network requests return HTTP 200.
There was also this Chromium/AMD message:
AMD VideoProcessorGetOutputExtension failed: The parameter is incorrect. (0x80070057)
Launching with --disable-gpu did not fix the login window.
Additional information
The normal Hydra interface renders correctly. Only the separate sign-in/authentication window is blank.
I can provide additional logs or screenshots if needed.
