Game refuses to launch

[Lil'Garbage]

I hit play, game starts to launch, says it's running and then stops.

I've tried everything. Reinstalling, verifying files, restarting comp, using all the launch commands (-dx12, ect), running as admin but nothing works. I'm at my wits end and the kicker is I'm getting no errors so I'm trouble shooting blindly.

Has anyone had this issue and found anything that fixes it??

Why are you trying to play a game when you have no idea what's even in it?

There are literally no gameplay videos on the storefront, lol.

i can notttt get it to open

You're not alone. Whenever I launch I get a black screen then it closes itself after a few moments and brings a UE5 crash report that says "Abort Signal Received". I've not been able to find any fixes. I would try to just stay patient and wait for a patch because it seems there is a fair number of people experiencing issues launching the game

is there any fix yet?

Found a solution on reddit that helped in my case:

So I use steam to launch the game, it opens the launcher and when I try to open the game from the launcher it crashes and gives me a Unreal error. It also invalidates my steam files for the game. So I was able to fix it but I'm not sure how many people this fix is applicable to. Firstly Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Marvel Rivals\Log, and...

******* READ THE LOG!!!!*******

. Surprisingly there is good info in there that helped me fix my problem. But for me, after reading line after line in the log I found an error. Apparently I had made a windows environment Variable at some point, meant to capture sslkeylogs, but it had prevented the launcher from working. I suppose my tip is to read the logs and potentially check out the windows variables and see if you made one and forgot about it. They're located at settings > System > about > advanced system settings > advanced > environment variables, and under user variables is where I found my variable which was ruining things... But seriously read over the log, it could help a lot.
