The game cannot be launched.

Latest Windows 24H2! Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics, latest drivers. The game still starts and nothing happens! What did they release the game ??? I play all games on Steam without any problems.

I see you own Sims, if you use a sail tool there remove it. Denuvo doesn’t like it and blame you for it.

I have the same problem, i launch the game in steam and nothing happens. have a 7950x and a 4080 super

I don’t know if it’s this easy…but every once in a while, I get a small nothing black window when launching. When that happens, I just close out the game via taskbar or end process with task manager and relaunch. Works on my end…might have to let it sit for just a little bit.

It was recompiling shaders when i just launched it. Took several minutes. Maybe you just don`t get the shader loading screen?

Ryzen 5 7600x
4070 super
32gb ddr5 6000mhz
MSI b650 gaming plus wifi
Checked file integrity, reinstalled (downloaded in 1 session without disconnection), started as administrator, disabled every overlay (discord, geforce experience, hwmonitor, steam overlay), let it run for about 20 min but as always i have just the .exe on the win task manager sitting at 0% cpu usage, no window whatsoever. Latest gpu driver and mobo driver.

Any idea is welcome.

UPDATE :
tried this : (took from a reddit topic)
So basically, go to C: Program Files (x86) |Steam\steamapps|common\Dragons Dogma 2 and just delete CrashReport.exe.

Then just try to launch the game. It did not go full screen and gave a loading bar that says compiling shaders. Wait for that to finish which took around 10 minutes or more.

At the end of the "compiling shaders" it autoclosed, re opened and reloaded shaders (in much less time) and now it started but even in the intro (where "start - options" are) it didn't load terrain texture and people and structure are just floating mid air.

Awesome, at least now it started.

In your case I would recommend getting a refund if you can. No game is worth such trouble.

Sadly i can't, btw the terrain issue was resolved by activating triple buffering in nvidia control panel.
To the next issue i guess XD
