cyberpunk not launching

[JediRelyt]

Every time I try to launch Cyberpunk from the launcher, it completely closes everything and doesn't launch. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game 3 times, its fully up to date, and all my specs meet the requirements to run the game smoothly. Please help...

Happening to me too. Completely close steam and launch as admin if on pc. Works now but I have to repeat process every time I want to play. The problem is the new redlauncher.

I am running as Admin tho...

Im having the same problem, completely reinstalled literally 5 times now deleted absolutely everything pertaining to the game, it just doesnt run, keeps saying i have corrupted game files when i try to start a game.

I assume the problem is because you used mods before the patch. Uninstall the game and after that delete the cyberpunk folder manually as well. Reinstall the game then and it should work.

Mods, system specs, done a clean install, not a normal one?

At this rate its the game thats screwed up now, everything was fine on the 2.0 version, CDPR pretty much bricked the game for a ton of people with 2.01
Unfortunately it looks like we gotta wait until a new patch drops

I also cannot even start the game, I had 45h of gameplay and after patch game doesnt start. I tried clean reinstall two times excatly like in the tutorial, still not works and same error.. i hope they will fix this in this week, but i dont see any answer from them.

Still broken, have tried literally everything INCLUDING completely wiping my PC and a complete fresh install of windows + All drivers

Same problem guys, does anyone found a solution?

I found a work around that seem to work for me atm.

Try downloading *Fast Launch (Skip Intro - Startup Videos)*

Its a Cyberpunk mod that skips the intro and for the moment it seems to work for me.

I fixed this by not opening it through a third party launcher and instead finding the Cyberpunk2077.exe file and opening it directly from there: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Cyberpunk 2077\bin\x64

You can right click the file and create shortcut then cut and paste the created shortcut of the Cyberpunk2077 file to desktop in order to launch from desktop.

I'm not certain yet this may mean that steam achievements/play time will not accrue. This was the same for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for me at least. Close to 100 hours of game play and zero steam achievements or play time yet I am still able to play the game through the .exe file.
