I've tried a lot, but the game still won't start.

Same, Game downloaded wouldn't start so I restarted my machine and was able to get past the character creation then it crashed 5 minutes later after picking up a rock. Haven't been able to load the game since.

I did the same, uninstalled the game,but it still didn't help.

Yeah i had the same issue, the pakchunk files stay the same even after redownloading, its something to do with your save game. Delete them then verify game files and the game should work and your save wont be deleted.

Tx, I'll try deleting the packchunk files.

X.X Game keeps crashing for me, too. And ended up with my save getting nuked (Thankfully it was a fairly new playthrough, so not too much lost). I'm just miffed. :(

It launches without ReFrameWork or mods, but I am not going to play this game without certain lua scripts and mods active.

Just this one mod is essential to me -
"Stops the annoying stray pawns behavior to come directly to the player and initiate hiring dialog. You can still initiate the hire yourself when and if you want to. "

I guess it's time to permanently forget this game. It took 9 months for them to deliver a rudimentary performance patch. Looking at this situation, MH Wilds is in the gutter already.

Did it fix it? If not then I have no idea. Perhaps drop your PC specs and your graphics drivers? Sometimes updates can completely break the game for some people.

I remember playing Halo Infinite on my old PC a couple years ago, one day my graphics drivers updated and it made the game crash occasionally and permanently locked the games FPS at 20 lol. To fix it I downgraded my graphics drivers. If you have updated your graphics drivers recently then try downgrading them to the previous version. With nVidia cards its quite easy, not sure about AMD or Intel cards though.

Nope, it’s not fixed yet, but thanks for your advice.

If you guys are still having trouble launching the game delete "dinput8.dll" from the game file location to remove the REframework it works for me.

REFramework isnt the issue, i'm running the game fine with 10 mods installed, including REFramework.

I dont even have a file named Dinput8.ll. Just bought it and can't launch at all. Even task manager doesn't show it starting up. Tried launching as admin and verifying game files.

Running a 7900 GRE and 5800x3D with updated drivers. Just bought the game and can't actually launch it at all even though steam says it's running.

Try running the game and steam in administrator mode.

"Tried launching as admin" I included that in my post just so people would know I'm not skipping the basics. Yes, I tried steam AND DD2 as admin.

Here's a previous thread on the subject that seemed to help folks:

I think you guys are trying most of that stuff, but there might be something there.
