Hydra crashes on login after update – any fix?

I downloaded Hydra last month, using an older version.

Today, when I opened it, I got a prompt to update and remove the old version. I accepted, but then got an error saying it couldn't uninstall because the program was still running in the background. I checked Task Manager, didn't see anything, restarted my PC, and got the same error.

I used Revo Uninstaller to remove all leftover files, and after reinstalling, the error from the video started showing up.

The installation works fine, and I can browse the game library, but when I try to log in, it crashes and closes immediately. It briefly shows up on the Windows taskbar, but then shuts down right away.

I deleted both the %appdata% and %localappdata% folders, but it didn't help.

I ran Revo three more times, still no luck.

I also tried downloading a game without logging in first, but the same error happened.

Restarting and reinstalling don't make any difference.

Has anyone run into this and found a fix?
