Yeah I think all you can do is wait for a patch. Or cough up the dough to play on Steam instead, like I did.

Like title, the game doesn't boot further than the Disclaimer screen. After "press any key to continue", nothing happens. My own disclaimer: I bought the game on Steam after 2 days of troubleshooting. Lo and behold, the Steam version works perfectly. In other words, the problem is not my PC, it's the Epic version. I could've skipped all this trouble lol. Anyway, things I have tried: - Uninstalling/reinstalling game (like 10 times) - Uninstalling/reinstalling DLC only (also 10 times) - Logging in/out of Epic - Validating files (at least 20 times) - Updating drivers - Updating Windows - Installing different versions of VC++ Redistributable (including specific hotfixes) - Installing different versions of .NET Framework - Booting with and without an internet connection - Nuked my firewall - Disabling cloud-saves - Disabling Epic-overlay - Deleted all videofiles (Unity bug that crashes with MP4) - NoSync folder is empty (have not been able to start the game once) - Additional command line arguments (many) - Editing values in the "boot" file (both DLC and original folder) - Running the .exe (both original and DLC) as administrator / tried different compatibility options My PC: 7700x - 6800XT - 32GB DDR5 - M.2 gen5 - 850W - Windows 11 Home
