The Problem
When launching Persona 5 Royal (P5R.exe) for the first time with Special K, the game opens successfully, and the Special K files (including dxgi.ini) are generated. However, on any subsequent launch attempts, the game crashes or fails to open entirely as long as dxgi.ini exists in the directory.
Steps to Reproduce
Clean install Special K into the Persona 5 Royal directory (or use the global injection method).
Launch P5R.exe for the first time. (Game opens successfully, Special K overlay works, and dxgi.ini is created).
Close the game.
Attempt to launch P5R.exe a second time.
Result: The game fails to open/crashes instantly.
Workaround: Deleting dxgi.ini allows the game to boot exactly once again before failing on the next try.
Expected Behavior
The game should launch consistently on consecutive attempts while utilizing the configuration saved in dxgi.ini.
Environment & Specs
Game: Persona 5 Royal (Steam / Xbox Game Pass)
Special K Version: v 26.6.13.7
