It has something to do with the Playstation stuff. I've found two solutions (because I had the same problem).

1) Use the No Playstation Mod

and/ or

2) Set GoWR.exe in the installation folder to run as Admin

What works for me: switch the audio output device to something else (for me the monitor), start the game (now it works) and switch the audio back.

This worked for me, thanks for that! Kept having issue when starting the game and putting on my headphones it would cap around 92FPS and never load the game. Switched to my speakers and it loaded right away.

I have been playing GoW Ragnarok for two weeks without any problems at the highest graphic settings - fully enjoying the game.

Suddenly, a new patch appeared, which introduced items to the Steam Points store, a downloadable soundtrack and collector's cards. About two days ago. And when I pressed the green "Play" button, the game did not start. Identical problem as yours.

However, I solved this problem in 10 minutes.

It turned out that after the last update, the firewall in my Avast antivirus did not allow GoW Ragnarok to pass through. Avast didn't like something related to the codec responsible for Pad. The "CrashPad" file was blocked by Avast and the entire game hit my firewall.

About what I did:

1. I uninstalled Avast - I completely removed the Antivirus from my computer.
2. I ran the Game File Integrity Checker.
3. I turned the computer off and on.
4. The game works normally :) Success!
5. I played for 2-3 hours. After turning off the game, I reinstalled Avast. I have Antivirus on my computer again.
6. I run the game without any problems - Avast no longer blocks the game. Firewall works in Antivirus now works properly.

Everything is fine now.
Generally, in my case there was a problem that after the last update, Avast must have misjudged GoW Ragnarok and started blocking my game. But now after reinstalling Avast I have no problem. But it was still very strange, nothing like this had ever happened to me.

I followed your tutorial, but still nothing on my side, I deactivated the antivirus ( KAPERSKY ), I changed the audio output, checked the game etc... still nothing at launch.

did you try unplugging it? then plug it back inside.

Had the same problem, and this solved it - no clue why!

I changed Audio to the monitor and it launched, then changed it back to my speakers. Such a weird bug. Thanks for the tip.

en la carpeta C:\ProgramData\Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc\PSPC_SDK\S22 borrad la carpeta que pone 3.00.00.13 y ya podreis iniciar el juego, cada vez que lo cerreis teneis que borrar esa carpeta, por alguna razon se vuelve a crear y el juego entra en conflicto.

es mas, he encontrado la soluciuon total, si borrais el archivo PsPcSdkUpdatreCheker.pri de la carpeta C:\ProgramData\Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc\PSPC_SDK\S22\2.50.00.10 ya no volvera a daros problemas, a ver si los devs se dan cuenta del fallo porque hay mucha gente que no sabe esto y nisiquiera pueden jugar, me alegra que os haya servido.
