Anyone else failing to boot up the game?

[cur133]

I can't even get my system to open some new window. I tried streaming from Steam Deck, there was some window / loading screen which crashed shortly after.

Basically unable to play without any errors whatsoever

I bought the Deadman Edition

Anybody with similar issues or potential ideas on how to fix?

So this essentially means most people are doomed regardless? Feels odd to hear that a somewhat high end CPU is insufficient for this game.

I'm not sure the Intel site lists this set at all. This site says it's supported.

Did you verify your files?

Sorry for not replying earlier.

I've checked the game files, re-installed the game, ran multiple compatibility modes, ran as Admin, turned on/off full screen optimization, updated my graphics card drivers, updated Windows, deactivated & uninstalled OneDrive, tried using only 1 monitor, tried using no bluetooth.

I'm currently prepping a fresh OS installation to buy the game once more and give it a last shot, hoping there's just some hickup or whatever.

If you have any other ideas or something new that came up, please lmk

Is there anything in Event Viewer?

Are any websites opening after trying to open the game?

Delete the crashpad folder and game should work and not crash

This is what I've found from the last time I tried to boot it up on PC.

I tried closing all browser instances (+ other software/unnecessary background noise) but that did not seem to have any effect.

I just checked and it was turned off by default for me, I enabled and tried + disabled again and tried to no avail

I'm having the same issue

The game works for me after reinstalling my OS. If anyone has this issue and they have a CPU that should be capable of running the game, I'd say give it go. It's worth a shot. I ran into another issue - it crashed when starting MyRise. To fix this, I used another forum post stating that you should delete your local save files. I also disabled Cloud Saves just to be sure and that helped me start MyRise.

I had issues mentioned in my Event Viewer relating to my SSD which caused most issues I had with my PC previously. However, I can not state for sure that reinstalling my OS was "THE" fix or what exactly the problem was. So, be sure to check all the other options stated here & in other threads before moving to a clean sleat.

@Zeokage thanks for your help
