TCM running as a background process and not loading up into the main menu
After pressing play, the easy anticheat loads and its says waiting for game, after a while the easy anti cheat window just closes and the game leaves my taskbar and nothing comes up and steam says the game is running and in task manager it says that TCM is a background process. This is the only game to do this on steam and i cant find any fixes

I have
-Reinstalled the game many times on different drive
- Excluded it through AV
- Disabled know software such as MSI after burner that is know to cause issues
- Reinstalled steam
- Verified game files many times
- Done a clean boot
- Gone through msconfig services and disabled some ♥♥♥♥ and tested
- Run exe as admin

all my other steam games work fine and other games like eft work fine on my system. I am well over system requirement to play this game and the Tech test for the game worked on my computer worked fine for the game. The support from TCM have not provided much help and its been 2 weeks, anyone have any fix / clue. I dont know what software on my computer would be conflicting with this game as its the only game to have any issues on my system and to still not work

Did you try reinstalling the EAC ?
(go into the folder and run the EAC exe to make it reinstall it).

What Windows are you using?
Updated and installed all the Visual C++ Redistributables?
Updated graphics drivers?
DirectX?
