Research direction
Start by reproducing the launch failure and reviewing the reported SimpleGraphic output, Launch.cfg, and Launch.lua under the Path of Building Community roaming directory. Compare the normal launch with the Windows 95 compatibility-mode launch; done means the launcher loads into Path of Building without the reported Render Init failure.
