Windows 11 - Won't launch?

[Squash]

Hello, is anyone else on Windows 11 able to launch the game from steam? I have followed all the steps of removing .json files, unticking etc. etc. I click the green launch button, it thinks... and then it goes back to green.

I have tried verifying files but nothing reinstalls. Is anyone else able to get this running on Windows 11? If so would be grateful for any advice.

Hope someone can pin point me to get it working :-)

Fixed.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamOverlayVulkanLayer64.json"

Change the "1" of the environment for both enable and disable to "0":

{
"file_format_version" : "1.0.0",
"layer" : {
"name": "VK_LAYER_VALVE_steam_overlay",
"type": "GLOBAL",
"library_path": ".\\SteamOverlayVulkanLayer64.dll",
"api_version": "1.2.136",
"implementation_version": "1",
"description": "Steam Overlay Layer",
"disable_environment": { "DISABLE_VK_LAYER_VALVE_steam_overlay_1": "0" },
"enable_environment": { "ENABLE_VK_LAYER_VALVE_steam_overlay_1": "0" }
}
}


This should fix it.

hello, I see you found a way to fix the game but what if you already deleted the SteamOverlayVulkan.json file. I was following other posts that all said to delete it. do I need to get it back?

This is a Spyware issue
First you will need a USB flash drive
Second thing is you download a fresh copy of Steam OS 3.0 or another desired Linux distro. Third If your Bios is legacy then you may need to get a copy of Rufus, If you do have a legacy Bios you will need Rufus to convert the ISO to a format your computer will take.
Last thing Turn off your PC plug in the USB drive, boot from drive.
When prompted do a full install, this is the only way to remove the corporate spyware.
