Crash with no error messages on launch
I bought the game recently, but can't start it. When I do (either through steam or running the exe directly), the process seems to end immediately. I don't see any error messages, no windows popping up or anything; it just silently stops running. I tried various compatibility settings without any change.

I'm running it on an Acer Predator 15 laptop, Windows 10 Home.

I searched around but don't seem to see anyone else struggling with that. Any suggestions?

(Actually, looks like this is a drivers-related issue, because several of my other games have stopped working too.)

First try launching all those games outside of Steam - exe-file directly, because Steam silently swallows error MessageBoxes.

I'm having the same issue... Did you find a workaround ? Tried to fiddle with Compatibility Mode and launching it as administrator, but no luck so far

I couldn't figure out what the culprit was, and ended up installing a fresh Win 10. (It's kind of drastic, but when literally no Unity games worked at all, including Broforce, Hearthstone, and loads of others, I just went ahead and bit that bullet.)

That worked, and I still don't know what the cause was. :/

sooo... one month later, I'm trying to make this game work one more time. Was about to post here until I figured out that I already did back then.

anyway, still no luck for me. I tried to launch the .exe outside of Steam, but there's still no error feedback. looking at my task manager, it seems that the game gets loaded for 1 or 2 seconds and then it's gone. Same as OP. Is there a log file somewhere?

I'm running a pretty standard desktop computer with Win10, a core i7 and a GTX970, appart from my multi-monitors setup (usually the culprit with poorly-programmed or old games, but other people here should be having the same issue) and my RME soundcard. Usually most games work fine, but I'm a bit at loss here.
