- Uninstall / reinstall game does not delete all game files. Typically save game files & config files are left over.
- If game still no launch after manually deleting all save files, suggest check game regedit.
I am not responsible for deleting or editing the directory below. If you are not confident suggest ignore the game directory below.

Has to be the system files or something causing the issue because the game seemed fine, sometimes it can be something simple and stupid like a random software application.

Think about what has changed (if something has changed) since you last played it. At the risk of stating the obvious....have you verified the game fines? Let us know so we can help you better.

Maybe I am being ignored but "Do you run Steam at PC Startup (default setting)?"

That is good because that option could break the registry values - funny thing is that I forgot about it and it broke my system first startup.

One time I seen two instances of Steam running and of course this varies by OS and Windows 11 is more messier than Windows 10.

What I do all the time, but people laugh at me for it, is to run DISM and SFC to see if any system corruptions are found and then restart if so - sometimes it works.
