My Game wont launch at all

[Spunky]

I can't launch the game. Whenever I press play it shows that i'm playing it but no window pops up. Then is just goes back to show me online. Although I had pressed play by accident earlier today and the game actually launched It looked like my computer was freezing so I hard shut down. Could this of caused my problem? I reinstalled the game and the same issue is happening. I wont be able to get a switch for 2 months and I've been pretty excited for this. I don't want it to go to waste. If you know anyway to fix this please tell me.

From what I can see, this can happens with a few people who tries to play games with Denuvo inside them. I don't know any fixes or if your computer is under speced though.

[Note this may be a temporary fix]


Right click the game, click properties, and head to local files.

Click browse open files.

You want to delete all of the files IN the folder, without actually deleting the Sonic Forces folder itself. (And don't worry about deleting your save file, the save files are stored in a cloud so if you delete the game you wont loose progress.)

once all the files have been deleted, go back to properties and click verify integrity of game files.

Wait until it is finished then you'll be good to go!
