ERROR LAUNCHING GAME
Hey, I just installed the game and logged into my Origin account. As soon as I try to open the game I get this error ( I'm opening it from Steam and Origin returns this error)

"ERROR LAUNCHING GAME

The game It Takes Two does not appear to be installed. Please install it or try relaunching the game"

Any thoughts?

I'm getting the exact same error.

Been troubleshooting it for almost an hour. No joy...

The only way I made it work was running steam as administrator. I hope this helps others that may face the same issue

Do you know how you did it?

If running steam as admin didn't work, try the following:

Reboot your PC
Uninstall Origin ( You need to find the folders manually and remove them all)
Reboot again
Run Steam as admin


That worked for me. The boring part was finding Origin's folders, there are like 3 folders in different places (I had origin previously installed and Steam installs a thin version of Origin as well). I think these don't work well together so uninstalling was necessary for me.

Late to the party but I had this exact issue as well ("The game It Takes Two does not appear to be installed. Please install it or try relaunching the game"). The issue stopped occurring and was resolved for me by "verifying the integrity of the game files" for "It Takes Two" in the Steam Library.

1) Open Steam
1) Go to your Steam Library
2) Right-Click It "Takes Two"
3) Go to Properties > Local Files
4) Click the "Verify Integrity Of Game Files" button
5) Wait for the process to finish and once it does look for a text string below the button, informing you of how it went (When it finished for me it said "20 files failed to validate and will be reacquired")
5) Try launching the game again and it should hopefully work for you too!

If you have more than one download library folder, Try move game to original library folder in the setting menu.

For example your steam files in "C" disc but you also use "D" disc for storage your games. Go to setting - dowload - library folder and select game and move original disc folder

I dont know if this is use to anyone now but i found out if you download what ever you use to open it takes 2 then add it to steam then close steam and open as adminastrator then go on big picture mode and connect your controller to your computor and use it to scroll on to the game then with your computer do ctrl tab or shift tab i cant remember then say connect imput it should let you play with both controller and keyboard and it wont have any errors
