problem:
downloaded latest version from the website (Sep. 17, 2018)
unzip it to d:\rpcs3, double click rpcs3.exe, nothing shows up
thread can be found in taskmanager but use 0% cpu, after kill the thread I can open the log file
only one line says the version and basic info, nothing more

The executable is probably waiting for driver to reply whether it supports Vulkan or not. The reason why it hangs is often due to remnants of older drivers still hanging around and refusing to respond to this query. Try cleaning your system with Display Driver Uninstaller (uninstall AMD drivers too if you've changed your graphics card recently) and then installing the latest drivers after that.

Also, it's recommended that you ask for help in discords #help channel or in forums before making a github issue.

I checked by using Display Driver Uninstaller, it says there is no any old driver.
and I do believe rcps3 worked on this computer with current system

You must use our forums or Discord help channel for support, issue tracker is not for support and this is not a RPCS3 issue and you've already been answered why.

I open an issue here because I believe this is an issue.

even as you said rpcs3 is waiting for the driver to response, it should at least let the user know what it's waiting for, otherwise how can I know what is wrong?

you may consider add a starting screen like the vs or eclipse one, let the user know what is the rpcs3 currently doing. it will make way more sense to the user when something goes wrong.

Normally the startup is so short that adding a splash screen would be pointless. I woudn't be against adding some kind of indicator that only appears if loading takes longer than set amount of time, but I'm not sure how easy that would be to implement. Also this isn't the topic of this issue you created.

And please, just run the DDU and use it for uninstalling any drivers you have. It doesn't take long and ensures that there are no driver complications.
