Game wont load at all

I hit play, and it just says its running non-stop and nothing opens up, tried a lot of "fixes" but none work, anyone else fix this yet?

I am also having the same issue and would love to find a fix.

Have you tried verifying your files in Steam. Some guides here: https://steamcommunity.com/games/1149460/announcements/detail/3142946404919844728

Yes I have tried that as well as a fresh install.

In addition, I have tried pretty much all the fixes that I could find online and the steam forums. It seems like there are plenty of others having the same issue if you browse the forums since the last update.

Same here pfffffff...

It's ok for me !!!!!

That it was VR related and he was right (in my case).

If I start my Oculus-app. iCARUS start without delay. Hope it helps others too and gives direction to the devs.

What a crazy and bizarre issue...

Opening the Oculus app worked for me as well. SO WEIRD

Devs, please read this and fix so others may play!

Can also fix if you remove or rename this file in your game directory:

SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Icarus\Engine\Binaries\ThirdParty\OpenXR\win64\openxr_loader.dll

In this week's update you'll see that Icarus is now no longer attempting to launch in VR mode. Sorry for the hassle this caused.
