Game crashes on launch (can't get past studio splash)

I just downloaded this game and I have the same issue. I've verified my files and restared my system.

Having this issue as well. My system exceeds requirements for ultra settings. I have over 250 hours in game to date. No crash screen the game just stops after the splash screen and closes. I've tried updating all applicable drivers and systems. I've tried repairing the installed game. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game. I've tried disabling my firewall/antivirus/antiransom protections. I've tried excluding the game from all those protections. I've tried running the game as admin while my protections are off. I've tried disabling the steam overlay as well as all the above to no avail.

Thank you to everyone who has commented and reported their issues on this bug. We're looking into the issue. :)

Hi. I am still having the same issue. Is there anything I can do?

As of 2.4.2025 Game won't load beyond splash screen. The whole thing closes back to Steam launch window. My system is recommended and high settings. I've got multiple hours of play but since this "5.4" update I can't get it to launch. Other player in household can play just fine and the system basically the same.

Same for me. Was playing it fine last week, and above minimum requirements.
