It Takes Two bought in Steam but cant play

I just bought the game It Takes Two from Steam and have downloaded it on Steam. when I tried to play it, the EA app opened and my account showed that the game It takes two was already in my library. The statement shows that the standard edition is accessed through Steam and managed on Steam. it already finished to download in steam. but when I played it, a window appeared that this game was not installed and I was asked to double check the library and directed me to click 3 dots in the game to manage and repair the game. When I went there there weren't 3 dots or even a button that I could press there. is there any solution for this so i can play this game?

    Hi @miliansyah_hadi 

    Can we check the following:

    • Any Anti-virus (or other security) quarantining files or preventing the game from reading/writing
    • Check if the drive ITT is installed to, has read/write permissions from Windows
    • Try running the desktop icon as an admin.

    Hey this is still an issue. But I don't get any of that, mine launches the game then just stops launching it. I don't any game type errors it just won't do anything.

    Hey All,

    I just bought the game on Steam, was confused to see when I launched it the EA app would pop up, but no game!

    ... having not used EA since the Origin days, I figure its likely due to EA's app.

    The fix was to launch it via EA's launcher, and not through Steam. It may possibly work if you open the EA app, log in, and then launch via Steam also, but launching through EA worked for me.

    If you've installed it via Steam, it will detect in EA, when launched in EA, it will detect you're playing it in Steam!

    Problemo solved 🙂

  • I think we all tried that and IT STILL DOESNT WORK. EA how hard can it be to make your game start?????????

  • Hi there, try adjusting the display scale in PC Settings. It might help you out. I had a similar issue. I installed it on steam and the game wasn't launching. It worked after i adjusted my display scale from 125% to 100%
