Cannot get game to Launch on Windows 11
I cannot get Rocket League to launch on Windows 11 on either Steam or Epic Games. I recently built a new PC and switched to Windows 11. I have tried the usual suspects:

Clearing Cache
Running as Administrator
Running Steam as Administrator
Renaming Rocket League Folder in Documents
Running Rocket League in CompatibilityMode
Verifying Game Files
MSINFO32.exe
Disabling All Background Services
Ensuring it is not being shut down by Windows Defender
Resetting Windows.
I'm sure there are a couple of other methods I tried but I am forgetting.

When I try to launch the game, the loading indicator will spin for a little bit, I will see a window open briefly in the top left of my monitor, and then it will close, along with the icon on the task bar. This behaviour is the same on both Epic Games and Steam. When I check the log it seems like it is being cut short. For example, sometimes it will end with

[0005.08] Breadcrumbs: Startup_Cre

And other times it will end with

0005.08] Breadcrumbs: Startup_CreateViewport: 0.586
[0005.08] DevOnline: Created named interfa

Just for extra info, here is the hardware survey from the launch.txt log

I'm guessing it launches and immediately closes right? If so this discussion thread is relevant and I recommend trying the fixes posted there:

Edit: Also when you renamed the Rocket League folder in Documents did you disable Steam Cloud prior? Also make sure your documents folder isn’t on your OneDrive. If you’ve linked your Documents folder from the OneDrive account, you need to unlink it first. Otherwise, it would cause the issue.

Hi , i'm just sharing something that is working for me after many many tips and possible solutions found on internet and nothing was workin at allbefore that. I just unplugged my second screen... it worked twice in a row, so some dual screen may be the problem here

Here's a possible solution: https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/c-Category_RocketLeague/c-RocketLeague_TechnicalSupport/why-do-i-see-a-black-screen-in-rocket-league-a000084259


If that doesn't work could there be something you could configure in the GeForce Experience or Nvidia Control Panel so you don't have to unplug your second monitor each time?
