Elden Ring refuses to launch

[TranquilityVT]

I click the Play button and like games usually do it starts up and runs the synchronising files popup BUT then it stops and the blue "running" button goes back to green
I've tried everything i can think of I've
- Uninstalled the Epic Launcher
- Fully updated my drivers
- Updated windows 11 as much as it will allow
- Verified the files 10000 times
- Launched from the .exe file
- Restarted my PC
- Restarted Steam
- Checked my specs which are decently above what is needed to run the game
Nothing is working please for the love of god someone more intelligent help me.

Well if all else fails and nobody else answers there's always the option of uninstalling it and reinstalling it.

Also random shot in the dark, try disabling Steam Cloud synchronization, I've had that give me some troubles in the past trying to start a game up.
