Freezes On Startup

[gtvManager]

Is anyone else running into an error where you get to the loading screen, and it just freezes? The menu will not load. I've tried re-downloading the game, but the same issue each time.

Same here. Nothing helps. It just doesn't want to work.

15 minutes of waiting helped. LOL.

This issue was happening to me the way I fix it was changing the resolution on my screen then reopen the game and solved also disable the steam overlay (not sure if that helped tho).
Hope this helps y'all.

It isn't the same issue at all dude.
Good luck posting in a year old thread though.

A dev had responded, so I was hoping for a response. You didn't read any of the comments. They described exactly the same issue. Please don't respond, blocked.

lolol. I love that he blocked the message he needs ! Tabbing out WOULD solve the egs loading issue. Had it yesterday.

No idea how they can release this game calling it 1.0 without fixing the game so it can start. People do not buy this game at all and refund it if you can. This is unacceptable.

Totally agree. Today is 041022, I just got the game and the same thing happens to me. I have win10pro, 16gbram, nvidia 1070 and in FullHD it runs EVERYTHING. It's been 1 year and we are still at the same problem! "We have to wait 5 to 20+ minutes WITHOUT TOUCHING ANYTHING!" Breathe, can we? Are you kidding me?

Are you on Epic? There's an Epic authentication problem for many people. Not the same thing at all; that's been fixed.

I'm trying to play Gloomhaven on Epic for the first time, and it does not load. What should I do?
The game will be trying to authenticate with Epic.
First, just quit and try again. Sometimes it just works the second time.
Otherwise, the game will require authenticating via a browser.
For Steam Deck, it is necessary to be in desktop mode.
See if there's a browser window hidden by the game, and switch to that and log in.
If there's no browser:
Make sure your computer has a default browser assigned.
Some people have had success by launching a browser manually while the game is loading, going to the Epic store, and logging in.
Otherwise you might need to go to
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170
and update (the x64 version)

That's right, I'm on Epic and the problem is different.
I thank you, unfortunately I found the solution that you also suggested after starting the game by authorizing the use of my data.
I wrote to Epic to ask why I had been forced to do this, they replied that it was not up to them but to FlamingFowlStudios.
I wrote to FlamingFowlStudios and am waiting for their reply.
In the meantime I will try uninstalling and reinstalling, this time trying VCredist64.

Edit: Uninstalled and reinstalled, everything started without asking me for access to my data. Evidently the authorization was left in the developers' server. I will wait for them to reply.
