Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice won't launch!

[ICIW_7]

[UPDATE]
I decided to play the pirated version of the game, which ran flawlessly btw. Then I thought I'd copy the 'sekiro.exe' file from the pirated version of the game to the directory of the steam version of the game. Only then I was able to run the game through steam.

When I ran the game, it boot into the game menu, and there were two prompts saying 'An updated version is available. To play online, apply the update file and restart the game' and 'The game will start in offline mode.'
So I assume there is a problem with the the 'sekiro.exe' file in the latest version. Anyways, hope it helped you.

[UPDATE]

I've been trying to play Sekiro for the past few days, but the game won't launch. When I click the Play button, the button turns blue and then promptly returns to green 'Play' button. Nothing happens. No black screens, no error, nothing. I've tried all the solutions I saw on the internet (including the ones in the two other discussions on this topic), nothing. Here are the 'solutions' I tried:
-Restarted steam
-Restarted Windows
-Validated game files
-Made sure I'm on the latest GPU driver
-Reinstalled the GPU drivers
-Made sure there are no windows update
-Re-installed the game
-Tried launching the game while in Big Picture mode
-Tried fiddling around with the resolution in 'GraphicsConfig.xml' file located in C:\Users\*Users Name*\AppData\Roaming\Sekiro

Note: I did play the game a few months ago, when I initially bought the game. But I can't launch it now.

My Specs:
Ryzen 5 3600
2*8 GB 3200Mhz ram
RTX 3070
Toshiba 2TB HDD (I have an SSD as boot drive, but the game's installed on the HDD)

If you find out, lemme know. supposedly youre supposed to go into %appdata% then roaming, then click sekiro folder, and then right click graphicsconfig and play around with your resolution

I actually did that as well. Forgot to mention on the post.
And sure mate. I'll let you know if I find the solution for the issue.

You can try to find if there are any logs from the game. Try to look for exceptions or errors. If you find any it might hint at why is it crashing.

I don't know myself if there are any logs or where to find them.

Try disabling your antivirus Software when starting the game. I had problems with that before on another game (Monster Hunter: World) and had to add an exception for it

I don't use any anti-virus software, bro. Only windows defender.
