Game wont start
Not sure whats changed but had a hell of a time updating and now the game wont even start. Im an idiot and did not add details.

On Start I get an error saying "Couldnt Start" and then a location for Icarus-Win64-Shipping.exe

Thanks in advance

Check the logs first and then post some specifics.

Confirm you don't have an anit-virus program messing up the files from the update. Then try a file verification in your Icarus settings on Steam.
1) First you need PC Specs.
2) After that you need a detailed description of what is happening or not happening. What you are doing, what you are pressing. What it says etc.

Ive ran the game since day 1. Specs suck but its a recent issue. Tried reinstalling, Clearing cache, verifying library and verifying the files on this specific game. Checked that I have exceptions in the anti virus.
Avast or AVG. Add the Icarus-Win64-Shipping.exe file to exceptions or disable your antivirus.

If that file is missing then something is interfering with the update process. Which is likely gonna be an anti-virus program running some sort of network defense that watches downloads. It sees a false positive in the file and silently blocks it to *Protect* you.
