@MyraTyra13 I merged your post with the main thread on this.

To be sure: you get no error message ?

Could you try the suggestions in the first post

@irelandpure Anti Virus Software is getting more and more aggressive these days and the newest update seems to flag a lot of them. You just have to tell your antivirus that it's safe and you should be good to go. Turning it off is just a temp solution to find out if it's the cause.

If you have determined that it is, you need to find out how to add exceptions.

What are you using ?

      @irelandpure Not something I can help with, sorry. Maybe someone else knows how to do it or try checking the settings

      @irelandpure Heyo, I too am running Sophos and have this problem. Eventually, I've identified the one messing with it is, under 'exploits', under the advanced exploit mitigation, turning off the protection on 'prevent code cave utilization' lets the game run again.

      And so there's the issue. Don't know why it's an issue, but...there it is.

        YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER!!! I've literally spent HOURS troubleshooting (curiously I had already unchecked that box including all others with no success), unistalling, re-installing, clearing caches, deleting files, updating drivers and more but unchecking that one box, and BAM! I agree that is makes no sense, but as you said "there it is".

        Thank you so much!
