Game doesnt launch.

[Fracture94]

I haven't had a problem like this in years... its so weird. My PC is more than capable to run this game, and im playing other games right now without any problems. Windows and drivers updated. I dont see anyone mentioning this in the forums so i must be the unlucky one... somebody has any idea of what else should i try? Besides the obvious you know, run the game as administrator, verify game files, uninstall, etc... Thanks.

EDIT: I just tried the GOG version, and i also have the exact same problem. No crash, no error message, the game just refuses to launch.

Do you own the 1st game? If you do, does that run?

[Fracture94]

Yes, i own it and after trying it i can confirm it runs.

Verification, Game #1 runs but Game #2 will not? Sorry you are experiencing this. There should be no reason why that is occurring. Especially if the 1st game is working. Would you mind sharing your non personal specs for your machine?

Operating System:
RAM:
Video Card:

Please make sure also you do not have 3rd party game launchers etc running like Overwolf, Razer, things like that.

Windows 10, 32 GB RAM, RTX 3080.

I do have 3rd party programs running, Corsair Icue and Afterburner, but i also tried turning them off and booting the game... and nothing. Also added the game to the exclusion list of Windows Defender, and still nothing. Its so weird.

Okay thanks i'll do but tomorrow, its pretty late in here. Thanks again for the help and hope we can solve this!

If you could just output errors somewhere, we could start figuring it out. I can run debug builds for you if you need help with that.

Hey guys, you'll have to be a little patient here as we set up to start dealing with these issues. Its a small team and we simultaneously launched on all platforms. We will try to figure this out as soon as we can.

I ended up refunding for the time being but what allowed me to launch the game was unplugging my DualShock 4 controller. So maybe try that if you have a controller plugged in see if it works without.

Was there any progress on this? I just purchased today and am having the exact same issue. I can launch Volgarr 1 with no issue, but II just crashes on attempt. I've tried disabling every background program possible, disabling the steam in-game interface, etc. No luck.

I tried the game again after the last update, and still doesn't launch. My PC is definitely not the problem. Since Volgarr 2 launch i played all kind of indie games with no problems at all and also Wukong which is a pretty demanding game, so idk what the issue must be...

same for me with new patch

Whether a game launches or not typically has nothing to do with the "power" of your machine. It is usually caused by driver or software conflicts, occasionally antivirus.

I will ping the team again about this. In the meantime make sure you are submitting support tickets so the QA team can gather proper information from you to hunt down the issue.

There has to be some sort of commonality that is causing this issue. Support staff might request a dxdiag report to help hunt it down.

Thank you :)
