Game won't launch
Not sure what is going on I haven't been able to launch the game for over a month. I haven't been able to figure out how to fix it, I have reinstalled the game, restarted and everything but still no luck.

The only thing I can tell from your log you posted is that the Steam API didn't launch properly. The only fix I have been able to find with that issue is running steam as admin or running both steam and the game as admin.

We recently added a "troubleshoot" beta branch which launches the game directly with Java. Here are the steps:
Step 1: Restart Steam
Step 2: In your Steam library, right-click on "Slay the Spire" and select "properties". Click the "BETAS" tab, then select "troubleshoot" from the drop down list.
Step 3: Click the Play button and select "Play With Troubleshoot Mode".
Step 4: Give it at least 30 seconds to launch.

Let me know if that helps!
