Does it eventually close down on it's own? Sometimes it does this on my computer a few times in a row and I just have to keep hitting the play button and it'll open and run properly. I think it has to do with video drivers and Steam.

It never happened playing it thru Epic.

I fixed it by going to task manager and closing ''Epic games online services''. However, I have to do it everytime i wanna open the game lol

Don't worry, aside from that, you'll love the game!

I have a similar problem.

I launch the game in Steam, it says it's running but nothing happens (after several minutes).
When I take a look in the task manager, there's a Windows Installer working (but not appearing on desktop) and an Epic Online Services task.
I wait and wait but nothing happens.

If I kill the Epic Online Services task, the game launches immediately.
I can play normally for a few minutes but then the game crashes to desktop, presumably, when it tries to connect to Epic servers.

Anyone has a solution ?
