Division 2 won't start after update on May 14.

[Shaman88]

I have Ubisoft running and try and launch from Steam as normal. A small windows pops up as if it is starting, then disappears and the Green start arrow on the Steam Div 2 page turns green again as if it is not running. Tried rebooting, etc. Bummer

try "verify integrity of game files" from the properties menu under "installed files"

right click Division 2 on the left of your library or click the cog wheel
choose "properties"
on the left of the window that pops up, click the "installed files" option
click to verify integrity of installed files on the right

It will take a few minutes to complete, perhaps more than 10, just let it run

I had a similar issue with Baldur's Gate 3 closing itself last week but the verify fixed it. And the week before I was having trouble with Division, but it just needed to update the ubisoft launcher. It asked me to sign in to an ubisoft account, but i just closed the launcher after the update and started Div 2 again from steam and it worked normally. My friend I was playing with experienced the exact same thing. So if you haven't played in a couple weeks, maybe the launcher needs to update?

I'll update my Division 2 now and see if I have any issues;;; I didn't it have any problems, it ran fine. Try that verify thing I guess, update the ubisoft launcher if you haven't in a while.

It doesn't start this morning either. I did a damn reinstall and integrity check, same thing.

I have the same issue. After Tuesday's patch it won't launch correct with steam.
I hit Play and the usual splash screen loads then after a bit it goes away and the play button goes green again.
I can launch the game without issue using UPlay directly and also by using the .exe's, both TheDivision2.exe and thedivision2launchersteam.exe. Both of these files were updated in the patch.
Now if I use the steam launch parameters to point directly at either of those .exe's the problem is still there.
Edit: Did the usual verify, reboot, etc.

oh i thought i was alone seeing this issue seems like
devs broke it again after every update lmao

I found a solution.
It runs by going to the folder where the game is installed and running thedivision2launcher.exe directly.
