at what point do you get this error (show a screenshot)

also, your region cannot be Russian, since Spotify is not officially present in Russia

Spotify crashes when the window has not yet been created

commented

after clicking OK a gray window appears and the error occurs again

commented

This also happens with already patched Spotify builds from Telegram

commented

more like a Windows environment error, completely uninstall the current client, install the latest original Spotify and try again

commented

I installed the original one and logged into my account, everything worked, then I patched it and it stopped launching

commented

hmm strange, maybe one of our binary patches is not working correctly, we need to clarify some things:

  • after installing SpotX and receiving an error, close the client
  • go to the AppData\Roaming\Spotify folder
  • delete the Spotify.exe file
  • rename the file Spotify.bak to Spotify.exe and run the client

Does the error appear in this case?

commented

after that it started

commented

as I understand it you need before/after files?

commented

after that it started

what started?

as I understand it you need before/after files?

at this stage I did not ask for files, you just need to replace the files and launch the client as I showed in the instructions above

commented

Spotify started to launch after I renamed .bak to .exe

commented

now that it turns out that the problem is with the patched Spotify.exe, you need to send it here:

  • reinstall the latest Spotify, install SpotX again
  • make sure that the error still appears
  • go to the AppData\Roaming\Spotify folder and send the Spotify.exe file here

you sent a 64 bit exe

I checked it and did not find any visible problems, this exe also starts successfully in my test virtual machine on the official Windows 11 Pro x64, version 23h2 updated March 2024

So if you actually did a clean install from the FAQ and checked that your AV does not block modified files, then I assume the problem is in your Windows build.

On the other hand, you say that the original Spotify is working fine for you, but the error that you receive has little to do with Spotify, it is precisely a failure in one of the parts of the registry related to Windows accounts and security, in general there is still a lot of strange things, if indeed the problem is with patches, then there should be more people with a similar problem, let's wait ..
