To help us pinpoint why the game isn’t launching, could you please share your full PC specifications, including:

• CPU
• GPU
• Installed RAM
• Operating system (version and 64-bit confirmation)
• Storage type (SSD or HDD) and available space

Once we confirm your system meets the Steam-listed requirements, we’ll be able to determine whether this is a specs-related issue or a launch-side problem that requires further investigation.

Thanks for already trying driver updates and file verification -- that helps narrow things down. We look forward to your specifications so we can continue troubleshooting.
