Game will not launch

[Dale Doback]

Verified game files, re-installed, and restarted comp.. Game will launch to a black screen and crash every time. Any fixes for this?

Thanks!

If you have Oodle compression errors like the first poster or similar, this is a tell-tale sign that you are using a 13000 or 14000 series Intel CPU that has not been patched and still has the microcode instability issue - if you don't parch your CPU is it likely to degrade until it kills itself, but Unreal Engine 5 games have a tendency to reliably trigger flaws demonstrated by these processor sets.

If you're getting these errors, I would look into updating the microcode for your CPU immediately.
