Game not launching

[Dracula Flow]

I've played RE4 Remake multiple times before and had no issue, I decided to play it here today but I'm having issues getting it to launch. I updated my Frosty Mod Manager, uninstalled mods, reread game archives, I've TRIED to verify game files but file verification seems to be getting stuck, I've uninstalled and reinstalled to no success and I'm stumped on what to do here. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Game & Steam are both launching in admin mode.

The game will only launch from the file in the install folder/directory. The shortcut will not launch the game, but it shows up in the task manager. Removing the aforementioned apps had no effect. Any ideas?

same here windows 11 24H2

Yeap, same here too, after the windows 11 update for the version 24H2, the game do not launching, dosen't work anymore (RE4, ONLY THIS ONE, AT LEAST FOR ME) :/ .

Man this is sucks, I paid good money for this game on the release date... and now it dosen't work. All the other games of my steam library still workng realy well, and even better than it was before, especially RDR2, but with the except of this one -> RE4 remake XD

I can confirm that deleting crashreport.exe, crashreportdll.dll and installermessage.exe fixes the issue as of 10.10.24

Have you deleted both ,exe and .dll of crashreport and both .exe and .vdf of installermessage? Probably doesn´t work by delating three 3, you must delete 4

Did you by any chance uninstall Microsoft gamebar? this game wouldn't launch without it for me. Another option is to play it on Linux.

You're a wizard, thank you so much.

I just built a new PC and thought I had a crazy instability issue.
