First Time Setup -- can't install

[FuzzyPuffin]

The game gets stuck on "First Time Setup, 1 of 2." I've tried numerous times and restarted the client. No luck. I'm on the latest version of Windows 10.

Same problem...

[worsethanyourmom]

I have the same ?

[Rydellfd]

same here looking at task manager it seems to be stuck on AMD CPU Driver Instalation

[Mordant]

Just tried to play it and encountered the same problem. Anyone managed to come up with some fix?

EDIT: Deleting amdcpusetup.exe in "Steam\steamapps\common\Contrast\Binaries\Redist\AMD" folder helped.

I had a same problem. My pc has "AMD" cpu.
amdcpusetup.exe got stuck. (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Contrast\Binaries\Redist\AMD\amdcpusetup.exe)

I made amdcpusetup.exe doesn't work. I renamed "AMD" folder.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Contrast\Binaries\Redist\AMD_\amdcpusetup.exe
"AMD to AMD_"

The game has started. I can play chapter 1 for now. Thanks to Rydellfd and Mordant I was able to get the hint.

Yeah, I should have read this before getting it! Mine is doing the same thing! It's not performiong first time set up!

I don't 'know how to rename AMD folder! I'm going to return this game! Too Bad! It looked fun....

You pushed the Install button on steam.
Game was downloaded.
You pushed the Play button on steam.
A window pops up saying "Play Contrast".
You say "yes".
Hung up. (The amdcpusetup.exe is working.) So, You can't change the name of folder.
You need to stop the amdcpusetup.exe.
Restart PC or kill the amdcpusetup.exe on Windows Task Manager.
After that, you can change the name. (You shouldn't run the Contrast at this point.)

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Contrast\Binaries\Redist
Open this address with Explorer.
You can find the "AMD" folder and can change its name or delete the "AMD" folder.

I'm sorry if I misunderstand what you said.

Thanks for your help! But I returned the game. I'm worried that if this is something that has to happen just to set it up... That there might be more problems down the line..? IDK...? Was just a bit frustrated that it didn't load as most other games do. At any rate, If this get fixed... I might get the game again. Thanks again for the help and I hope that it sets up easier for others!

Not very useful advice - I started the game with 7 attempts, without rebooting the computer or something else. Windows 10 ...

I renamed amdcpusetup.exe and it worked thanks ! And everything went smoothly after that
