Game will not launch

Was really looking forward to this, but despite my system being more than enough to run this, and I verified the integrity of the game files, when I hit launch it just says that its launching and then nothing. Any fixes or do I need to refund? I also tried restarting, no dice.

under settings / system / about / advanced system settings / advanced / performance / data execution prevention is your DEP Settings. Make sure the first option is selected. You should have "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only" selected. You may need to reboot after. This worked for me.

Same for me. It acts like it'll launch but then it'll just go back to the green play button. Hope something gets fixed soon

I reported the issue on their discord and they said they’re forwarding it to the developers

I'm having the same issues, y'all. Must be a launch issue.

That's what I've been getting as well. I can see it try to play but then goes away in like five seconds. Definitely bummed for launch day cause I've been looking forward to playing it. Hope it gets fixed soon.
