Yeah, I did all the same things, game won't launch. Tried installing REframework, that didn't work either. I really don't know what else I can do, but this is BS.

Same here, game won't launch. Fresh re-installed the game 3x, re-installed steam, have completed the full troubleshooting process and can't get it to launch.

Hello, delete steam download cache, that fixed all my issues
Go to steam, settings/parameters, downloads and there you can delete the download cache, i hope it helps

I've tried the following steps with no fixes:
- Run as admin
- Clear cache
- Increased firewall exceptions
- Uninstall/installed to same SSD
- Installed to different SSD
- Re-installed Steam

No fix for me.

same can't play :c my save has less than 2 hrs so i tried turning off cloud and launching the game with no saves but it still instantly closes

[Ashe]

wait clearing the download cache actually worked my game launches fine now

it's the anti-mod thing. if you have any sort of mods whatsoever it immediately closes upon launch making it impossible to play unless you have a vanilla game. just wait until they remove it, or uninstall and go through with a new game

Tried running as admin, clearing download cache, verifying files, uninstalling/reinstalling the game, firewall permissions, even snooped around the source files looking for the issue.
Just got the game so no mods are installed.

if you have reframework installed , update the last version of dinput8.dll

for everyone who is modding or atleast has reframework installed, get the newest version fixed the no lounch issue for me

I got a fix for my pc:
I did a clean reboot of Windows 10 using msconfig.exe; Disabling all startup programs (except for my graphics card and steam). That seemed to fix the game for me.
My guess as to why is: If you have any remote workplace software, it may be preventing the game from launching because it assumes the new DRM is malicious.

For those that also wish to try this, here:

This is a Microsoft website and the reboot settings (if followed correctly) are totally safe. Depending how many programs are forcing their way into launching on startup, your pc may even run better after you disable all the non-essentials.

Same here, Ill click play, it'll say it's loading, the tab won't open and it'll close itself down.

Dude you are my hero! That solves my problem! It has been torturing me for days! The problem was due to my citrix workplace software. Please accept my points as gratitude!

Glad it worked!
