@crinrict can you help me too please, I just downloaded the game yesterday and was very excited to play but it won't work. I don't have any antivirus software except windows defender. However, my problem is a bit different whenever I open the game it shows that the game is already running. I have tried everything from the 2017 thread but that doesn't seem to work. I even contacted the technical support who made me clear cache, update driver, set exclusions, repair origin and I even tried to reinstall the game. But nothing worked
you seem to help a lot of people so please help me too
