Did something change?

[Somewhere Lost in Time]

I was playing this game off and on during January, logging about 15 hours of game time over several sessions. I stopped to play some other games and decided to do some more FF16 today, and now the game won't launch. It just launches the client splash art, my cursor changes to a custom design probably from the game, then the splash goes away and the game is closed.

I've tried reinstalling the game, and I scanned the files. Only thing I have changed on my end since last month was updating to the next Nvidea driver after the latest update. Another driver dropped today apparently, so just updated to that one and the game still won't launch. FF7 Remake runs just fine.

Was there an update to the game recently? Is it not compatible with the current Nvidea driver?

Nothing changed. Game works fine with the recent driver.

Thanks. Kinda bizarre. Never run into this before. Maybe I'll try again at a later time

Same thing happening to me. Bought the game this morning, and it's just not booting. I've tried everything I've seen online. Rebooting, verifying, re-downloading, driver updates, deleting psol, NVidia hotfix, nothing is working.

EDIT: Got it working. I hadn't yet downloaded the new NVidia App, I was just using GeForce Experience previously. I downloaded the app, which server up a new driver for me. Installed that and it booted just fine.

Tried with two different gpu. GTX 1660 Super and RTX 3060 worked fine. Maybe disable all running programs and try again. One of them will cause the issue.
