I might be posting on an old forum post, but is it because of the DRM? I managed to launch the game only for 5 seconds and then it closed. It might not be the game engine, cause if it was, it would pop an error message or make a log under Local/Dontnod/LIS2.

Leeor, I tried some things that you posted on other posts, but no success.

Oops, i thought i delete that post. But i missed it :) So i found the reason, it was MSI Afterburner, the game has a conflict with this app. Do you have any tweak or overklocking apps for video card? Close them all...

I already did that, plus disabling my Anti-Virus and Firewall. Nothing.

what problem(crash) exactly had you been encountered with? was it the ue4-lis2 game has crashed and will close.... fatal error? cause this error shows up for me right after dontnod logo though i didnt have msi afterburner....actually i saw some ppl had quoted "its because your overclocked gpu folks" so i downloaded msi afterburner in order to down clock my gpu while it had not been overclocked before but it didnt work for me....

The problem we are talking about is that the game closes with no errors or warnings. It just closes itself on launch.

Maybe you can try to swap your PC account and run the games as administrator.

I had the same problem, game won't launch. I've just solved it like this:

1.- On the Steam main window ,right click in the game name.

2.- Go to Properties.

3.- Local Files.

4.- Verify integrity of game files.

5.- The game will install automatically the files missing (if any).

That's all. It seemed that there were some files that were not installed. Game launched correctly after that.

Had same problem. I updated my windows and graphic card drivers. Now it works fine

Ok, since I decided to contact Square Enix, they gave me another solution. Create another local Windows account on your machine. Yep, you heard me. Maybe denuvo doesn't like your Windows account.

I have the same issue. I lunch the game, then it says Launching/starting for about 5-10 seconds but nothing happens. Game does not open.

I might have an unconventional solution. I ried he following and it worked two times already:

I start the game and then i launched Firefox. After some time the game eventually started!

Hope it works for you too guys

In task manager it's said status suspend

I found a solution that worked for me (Game not starting):

What I did was trying to start the game via the .exe file instead of using steam (the standard location is \Steam\steamapps\common\Life is Strange 2\LIS2\Binaries\Win64\LIS2-Win64-Shipping.exe).

Instead of just not starting this resulted in an error message that stated that the "msvcp140.dll" was missing. I found the dll in the internet and placed it in the directory.

After starting the .exe again, there seemed to be a second .dll-file missing, this time it was the vcruntime140.dll. I downloaded that one too, placed it in the game directory, started the .exe once more and - here we go, the game started!

tl;dr: open the local game directory, start the LIS2-Win64-Shipping.exe, find the missing .dll-files and place them into the directory. Repeat until the game starts.

I hope this works for some of you guys too.

Same issue here T__T
I've just bought Life is strange 2 complete season. I've installed the game on Steam without issue, but when I launch the game, nothing happens. I've verified all files via steam tools and I've re-installed and rebooted my PC but the game don't launch. I've tried to launch the game with another window account. In the task manager, LIS2 runs that's why I have 64 min time played even if the game never opens.

Hi everyone I had an issue where a popup dialog box appeared right when the menu should have loaded.

---------------------------
The UE4-LIS2 Game has crashed and will close
---------------------------
Fatal error!




---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
Fatal error!


I eventually downloaded the Unreal 4 engine here https://epicgames-download1.akamaized.net/Builds/UnrealEngineLauncher/Installers/Win32/EpicInstaller-10.7.0.msi?launcherfilename=EpicInstaller-10.7.0-unrealengine.msi . Through installing the engine, some dependencies downloaded. I don't know which dependencies, but now I am able to see the menu.

Side note, initially I did have missing direct x dlls which I resolved and allowed the game to load to a certain point mentioned above.

did you check the integrity of the game and verified it wasnt running on mine but when iverified it steam deemed a file unvalidated and downloaded just that file again after that it ran without any issue

[JimPaensi]

I tried all of this but it doesn't work. Is there any new solution for the Problem that the Game doesn't start after the loading Steam window?

[Banakiwi]

same issue, nothing worked so far....going to keep on trying

[Banakiwi]

ok, so, starting the game and simulteanously starting Firefox worked.....WTF? o.O

[David Croppafield]

Same issue still, too...
