Refuses to Boot Up

[NeededFour]

I've recently downloaded this game (Sep. 21st), and since downloading I've been totally unable to boot up the game. The game flashes for 3 seconds on the Library as "Running," and I'm shown in game as well on Steam. But, after 3 seconds or so, I revert back to being just "Online," with the game no longer "Running," according to Steam. Is this something simple to fix, something I can't fix, or some other third thing?
Thanks in Advance,
Ogilvy

The game open immediately but the game run in offline mode

Ok well the good news is the game itself functions.
Bad new is steam itself must be launching it wrong somehow

You did not alter the game launch arguments in steam?

I dont have any arguments in steam

I have noted this on the devs bug report forum, could you also open a ticket at support.playnet.com?

I dont have the means to debug steam, which seems to be where the issue is coming from perhaps

[Gintoki^^]

Yeah, I already open ticket for this issue. Thank you for helping me

Can you see if your computer is resolving auth.playnet.com? go to command prompt in windows and type “ping auth.playnet.com” and see if you get a reply from the server

I am not sure that is it
Even offline, the game will launch into offline mode, which he seems to not be able to do at all via steam.

Opening playgate.exe though will answer that question super fast.
It checks auth right away

Are you using windows or mac?

The game has had no patches or updates this week.

Just waited the first time it worked again. I've checked file integrity and other things but only waiting worked.

I had this problem, and just uninstalled the game on steam and downloaded it directly from the ww2 online website and made my account there as well. After installing the game from the website and not through steam, it ran perfectly.

I am wondering if it is a DNS issue, where its not finding auth.playnet.com and so not launching?
You might try adding one of the google DNS servers to your TCP set up.
Their addresses are 8.8.8.8 and 4.4.4.4

I am not 100% sure though if that would prevent the game screen from appearing entirely?
I dont have inside onfo on how steam handles the game launch.

When running it non steam, playgate makes sure you have connection to server, logs in in and generates a session token, then tells ww2.exe to run and passes it the session token and connection info. If any of that process fails you dont get the game launched but you also know it up front as well as have an error message as to why.

Since steam doesnt use playgate, it must be doing that part up front before it calls ww2.exe

Might make sense to open a ticket at support.playnet.com if you have not already, that would not be an issue the devs would want to go unaddressed.
