Re: Game installed through steam. Stuck at “install in progress”

@EZMarshmall0W The same thing happened to me.... i actually started the game up no problem the first time then it crashed for some reason while i was playing and ever since then it does this to me all the time. i find that if you try enough times it will eventually start up like it should but then next time you try and open the game it happens again.

    @Animosity_5E That's what happening me. I get back into town, play for 6 hours. Wake back up played a couple more, then when I went to get back on later last night it boots up the game like it's the first start. Takes me to the "calibration" process screens, then sends me into the AI battle but won't let me leave to game menu because it's "installing updates". I've spent close to 2+ hours just opening the game and then closing in hopes that it will work. I've reinstalled twice, verified game files 11 different times, tried booting from both origin and steam (where I own the game) and I get nothing. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but everytime I'd try to open the game it would prompt a window to come up saying something about setting up first time launch, not sure if that is relevant though.
