Hey there ,

Hi, same problem here. I updated the game this morning and since then, I can't play anymore.
It doesn't show an error message so I don't understand what is the issue incourred.
I hope it's a bug that could be fixed early...:steamthumbsdown:

Tengo el mismo problema, pensé que era el único. Hay que esperar a que corrijan el error.

For me, it was enough to verify the integrity of the game files. Steam has re-downloaded the corrupted files and the game is working again.

The game won't start even after verifying the installation files. I get an error message that says: the game cannot load or create the configuration data. This is due to no directory access or file/folder permissions. What the ♥♥♥♥!

Same with me, I tried everything.
Then I tried the ultimate last option, Reinstall the windows. I think some corrupt or pirated files are interrupting the launch.

Had the same issue... in my case, the culprit was MSI Afterburner. I really don't now why, but if MSI Afterburner is running, the game would launch and after just one or two seconds it just quits to windows, with no error message. It's weird, but disabling / closing MSI Afterburner does the trick. Hope that helps!
