NEW GAME WON'T START [[FIXED]]

[rickychecko]

If you're playing for the first time and you try starting a new game, nothing happens. You select Yes and you stay on the menu screen.

TO FIX:

You have to close out the game --> open windows defender --> click "virus and threat protection" --> under virus and threat protection settings, click "Manage Settings" --> scroll down to Controlled Folder Access --> click "Manage Controlled Folder Access" --> click "Allow an app through Controlled Folder Access" --> click "Add An Allowed App" --> you can ether click "Browse all Apps", or "Recently Blocked Apps" ("recently blocked" is easier) --> select "Ghost of Tsushima" and confirm it.

---

YOU CAN NOW PLAY THE GAME! While I'm here, I just want to say that I hate Windows. This shouldn't be blocked by your PC, since you already made the decision to play the game. I spent 4 hours figuring this out and would still be searching for answers if I didn't come across a reply in another thread. Microsoft is the worst.

I wonder why this happens to people. I also use Windows and never have had this issue.

Do you people not update your Windows? Like, Windows update includes Windows Defender Definition Updates. Typically updating to make sure to exclude stuff that may be incorrectly targeted.

Update your stuff.

Holy hell I uninstalled and deleted the game four times before I finally saw this on Google search pop-up. Thank you!

[xtreme4007]

when trying this my I end up not being able to open my game and get
"?Launcher_LogAccessFailed"
any ideas?

[Wijnman]

So this didnt work for me, but i found another solution. After following the steps above, run the game as administrator. That fixed it for me

For me i must shut down anti virus for game working
