Game runs install script on every launch?

[Cris Espi]

I bought the game on Steam, ran it several times without problems but I noticed that every time I launch it the game it gives me an admin elevation prompt and then it tries to run the whole install script again (GamingRepair.Program) and it delays the game startup for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

How do I make the game skip this script?

I did that, it didn't help, still runs the install script on launch.

I found in some forums that this happens when you install the game after a previous Xbox installation and it requires a full clean up of all the previous files and registry before installing on Steam.

I did have the game from Gamepass before and uninstalled that before downloading on Steam, but I would rather not redownload the whole thing again for the 3rd time.

I'm hoping there's some launch command parameter that I could use to make it skip the install script, otherwise it's just something Microsoft should fix with a patch.

It’s very annoying and it’s a script that requires admin privileges to run properly or it will be stuck for 3 minutes.

There’s a very easy way to deal with this:
Go the game install folder in Steam and rename/remove the file installscript.vfd
It will not run it and start the game right away after this.

Note it will pop back if you ask Steam to verify file integrity or after an update. So remember to remove it again !

In folder like mine G:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Steamworks Shared\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2022 rename installscript.vdf to installscript.vdf2 or else
