Serialization Error: Corrupt Data Found

[HatedSovietLion]

I pre-loaded the game. I spent night of 19th unpacking it. Got home from work today on 20th. Opened game, got past the shader compilation. Accepted the privacy policy and terms of use.

Then it has a pop up saying "Serialization Error: Action Needed" with the description "Corrup data found, please verify your installation".

I've verified it twice, it said 2 files were missing. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Same issue. Trying verifying again.

Any tips?

Is your antivirus blocking game files ?
If not remove the game and manually delete any leftover files and reinstall it.

[ceadmill]

Nah. I tried this already. I suspect that it's conflict between hardware and Denuvo

My problem occurs in the first chapter after the first two fights with wolves. I go upstairs, the trigger is activated at this point, the game is interrupted with a data error and a request to double-check the integrity. I tried to completely reinstall, nothing has changed. There were thoughts that the problem was in the ssd, but everything is fine with other games!

I already tried completely deleting it and reinstalling it (manually went in and deleted everything in steamapps that said Black Myth Wukong or b1 on it.

I don't think it's a Denuvo error either as I've played games on this with Denuvo before too.

I tried that as well. Made sure my antivirus wasn't blocking it. I've now uninstalled and reinstalled it about 5 times, each time deleting everything as well. Probably going to end up returning it in all honesty and giving it a few months for them to fix whatever startup issue this is.
I've never seen it with another game

Have the game installed
Go to game library
Right click the specific game with the issue. Then click on Properties
Head over to local files and click on verify Integrity of game files
