Just Cause 3 wont launch
My just cause 3 wont launch when i click play. I open the task manager and it says it is running though :(

(there is a solution if you have the resolution standing on 1799 x 992 you have to make it higher or lower and it works this prblem is solved)

Suspect this has something to do with the settings.json file that is created in the save games location... It'd explain why reinstalling does nothing, as it likely wouldn't uninstall that file to begin with.

On top of that however, the fact that the file will NOT let me delete it at all is highly suspect.

Well here go perhaps a possibility of why the game crash at launch...

There is no "Settings.json" (do the game create a default one at install ?) in my %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Square Enix\Just Cause 3\Saves\0\

Also it's 6 days since release and still no sign of a alpha/beta patch for those who cannot launch the game -_-;

I can't launch Just Cause 3, it doesn't show up in my task manager. It is stuck on "first time loading" and just keeps trying to do that. I have read that I should delete the .vdf file, but that didn't work either. I have also reinstalled my steam and the game itself. I have verified the files are there. I have used regedit to enclude the DirectX with the 1 (to enable it).

Any idea?

The game is broken, So just wait until a patch.

Which apparently won't be for a while, so we're left paid in full for a game that I cant even see the menu of. I can't believe it's been this long honestly, for a completely broken cause like this, warrants immediat action and sleepless nights until resolved. But par usual the dev's are enjoying a launch party reaping the spoils of all the people that just paid the digital equivelent of a paper-weight, wasted storage space for a bunch of worthless code. Seriously, I'd have fired everyone already.

It's been 9 days since launch. I would understand, but indie games like Star Citizen and Space Engineers update quicker, ffs.

Forget it guys. They didn't learn anything from Arkham.
