CAN'T LAUNCH GAME: Missing executable MetroExodus.exe

[AlphaElite]

Finished downloading and getting this error when trying to launch the game:

"An error occurred while updating Metro Exodus (missing executable):

M:\Steam\steamapps\common\Metro Exodus\MetroExodus.exe"

I tried doing Verify Integrity and that did not fix it....

Получается что всем кто предзаказал у других ресселеров ключи, ключи выдали 15 и они получаются все не рабочие с такой ошибкой. А тем кто предзаказывал в стиме, все норм ибо это чисто цифровая загрузка. Это не к добру.

контент игры разбит на 2 депота - основная игра + бинарники
2 месяца назад они добавили первый депот во все пакеты, бинарники лежали только на тестерах и у рецензентов
на релизе они добавили бинарники в 2 пакета для тех, кто купил в стиме
это видно в steamdb https://steamdb.info/app/412020/subs/
а в пакеты с ключами так ничего и не добавляли с последнего раза (2 мес. назад)
надо писать издателю, прошло уже много времени

Couldn't we just get the exe file from someone who has the game through the epic store?

Oh goodness. Bad launch here we go 😂🤣

blame epic and the money they drowned Metro's studio in just to gain the game.

Same problem, can't even get past the legal screen. Just a stutter or two then throws me back to Windows.
Tried safe mode and "normal" mode, reinstalling, verifying files. Nothing.. Really frustrating as I was really looking forward to playing Metro on a brand new PC. Experiences like this makes me miss playing on consoles lol.

Have you verified game cache and restarted the Steam client?

Using Epic Store as I didn't pre-purchase it.
Verified, didn't work safe or "normal" mode. Gives me at best 0.5 seconds of the legal screen then throws me back to Windows.
Reinstalled, tried, same result. Verified after reinstalling, tried, same result.

Really tempted to see what I can do for possible refunds and just get a physical console copy from the local store, but that's practically impossible I take it.

Edit: Also tempted to just get a refund and say "nope" until they've fixed this launch. Don't want to support companies who can't even deliver a product at full price after postponing development already. I understand that it's complicated, but why should I, the one time I actually preorder as I love the series, be willing to pay full price and pre-order when I can't be 100% positive that I can even play the damn game on a new PC. So frustrating.

Yeah was going to do that as a last step before seeing if I can get a refund or something (doubt it though). Thanks for the link, sent them a ticket now. Crossing my fingers that I get some fix or whatever. Been hyped for this game for so long..

Just refund the garbage until they get their crap patched.

A year wait might turn out to be just the thing for Steam users that dont like day 1 buggy garbage for our money. Turns out the Epic store users and the unfortunate Steam pre order buyers are really just the last line of Beta testers for the real Steam release next year.

ok just got another patch, about 190 MB.

and it works now, but I got a crash.
