get a refund! I just completed my request for one. it's the only solution as of now, Avalanche has ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up this release so much it's not even comprehensible.

I've got Just Cause completly installed but I try to launch it and nothing happens. I just get a little window from steam saying it's preparing to launch but it just stays there. I don't know what to do.

refund m8. don't let this ♥♥♥♥ company scam you. buy it when it's fixed, from now on I'm not preordering anymore. can't trust playing games on day 1 anymore.

hi everyone i managed to fix the problem, you have to resize your desktop resolution hope this helps!

one of the devs keep saying that btw. I hope he knows it's not the answer to every problem.

Been playing it on/off for 3 days (today also) and now the game won't even start for me. Wtf is going on? My pre-ordering days are over for sure.

this is bs indeed. well you live and you learn! Avalanche fired some of their workforce prior to the release of JC3 so in a way it is their fault as the game is bugged as a mf. totally not worth the money in my opinion.

I hope this issue doesn't become more common; that being that you have been able to run this previously, but not anymore.

This just fixed it for me (was a BEX 64 error):

1) Run cmd.exe as adminstrator, once the cmd prompt opens up, type the following and press Enter:

bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff

2) If done correctly, you'll see the message "The operation completed successfully"

- If you get an "Access denied" message, then you didn't run cmd.exe as administrator.

3) Next, restart your PC

4) After your PC restarted, try running the game again

5) Hopefully you'll be playing at this stage

Perhaps this issue and solution should be posted here as well:

Every solution helps!
