Game not launching - Slimdx

[ChiMaster9098]

Hi all,

The game did work and I had to roll back my computer due to a virus. It keeps launching the slimdx window and gives me the option to repair or uninstall. I have tried the standard fixes but nothing is working. Please can anyone advise? I would love to play the game...

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Please, you should check if your antivirus or firewall are blocking a proper game installation. Disable your realtime scanner if you have this tool in your antivirus.

Anyway you have a place in the forum to report bugs. Check here --->> https://steamcommunity.com/app/644930/discussions/2/
