Cant start game since update
Hi folks, I hope someone has an idea and can help me.

Since the last update from 07.06.2024 im unable to start the game. After i click "start" 2 UAC windows are popping up (which i confirm) and then Steam is stuck. It is stuck and telling me GamingRepair.PROGRAM.

In some rare occasions i see the title screen of the game, and then its stuck there. I have to kill the process manually.

When i look at the patch notes (https://steamdb.info/patchnotes/14640645/) i see that this "GamingRepair.exe" and some install scripts were added with the lastest update.

+ Im running W11
+ I tried un-/reinstalling the game
+ I completely removed steam an reinstalled it
+ Latest drivers installed
+ Its happening since the last update

Any ideas what i can do? Is there a possibility to install the previous version?

Had the same problem, verifying integrity of game files fixed it for me. Though, had to wait a bit after that, it seemed like it was still stuck at GamingRepair.PROGRAM, but the game finally launched.

Open windows notifications (right bottom at win 10) there you
ll see xbox or smth like that process - close it and start the game again - after that this process will open up again but succesfully uploaded and the game will start

it's microsoft problem

Del GamingRepai.exe and run game

worked for me
nothing written above works for me (and seems many others)
AMD 5900X + RX6950XT, can't get past the first loading screen, computer locks up, nothing helps but hard reset.
