RPCS3 Crashes on Startup (database file not found) - Sturm - 01-23-2018
Each time I start up RPCS3, it immediately freezes and crashes. I've tried installing OpenSLL, as well as multiple fresh installs, even going so far as to try numerous older builds. At one point, I managed to get one fresh install to get past startup, and then I tried to install firmware and it crashed with the same error in the log as every other time, and I gave up.
Attached is my log file, as well as a screenshot of RPCS3 instantly crashing. Presumably I need compat_database.dat, but I have no idea where to download it and no installation so far has come with it.

Compatibility database is completely optional. Whether it's crashing or not, it's unrelated to it.
You uploaded a screenshot for a very old build, and an empty log for a different version.
Retest properly and update your attachments.

I downloaded the latest version, uploaded 1 day ago, January 24, 2018 and tried to run it, and got the same error in the log about missing compat_database.dat after the program crashed. I've updated the attachments with my new log.
