Unable to launch game (Not black screen)

[uwf.| Hershberg]

I have been unable to launch the game at all. When I try to launch the game from steam it attempts to launch but after about 3-5 seconds it gives up. I have tried most of the tricks I know and none have worked. I wish this was the black screen issue as it is similar but I do not even reach a black screen to try the suggested quick fix.

Fixes I have tried include -
-reinstalling drivers
-reinstalling game
-run as administrator
-install on separate drive
-launch from the .exe file
-launch with firewall disabled

The only variance I have found is trying to launch the game directly from the .exe file but the only difference is that I see the in game cursor pop up for about 1-2 secs before it gives up again. At this point im at a lost because I do not see a similar post/reported issue to mine and this is the only game I am currently having any issues with.

If needed I can try posting the player log but not sure if its going to have anything relevant since the game never really launches in the first place.

Hey there, I'm sorry to hear you encountered such issue but thanks for highlighting to us. I've reported to the developers to investigate.

yes, you could post the player.log to us if possible.

Update: I figured out my issue, at least for now. Compared my player.log to what others posted, mine ended right before

-[InputController.ReleaseDisable]

Long story short, although not for a long while now, my Joystick and Throttle controller software (CH Control Manager) for my flight sims has in the past caused issues with a couple of other games. When I saw my player.log ended just before [InputController.ReleaseDisable], I decided to disable the program and sure enough that seemed to be the issue. Was able to load up the game right away with no issues after that. Hope this helps if anyone else runs into this issue.
