Platform: Steam (Windows 11)
GPU: AMD RX 9070 XT
Game Version: 0.10.0.4.268-9d2ca277

The game is stuck in an infinite relaunch loop and never opens. Every launch
attempt produces the same result regardless of what I try.

The log shows the game initializes successfully, then hits this every time:

R5LogSteamworks: Game restarting within Steam client, exiting
LogCore: Engine exit requested (reason: Run outside of launcher; restarting via launcher)

Steps already taken:

  • Fresh uninstall and reinstall of Windrose
  • Deleted %localappdata%\R5 (save/config data)
  • Verified game files via Steam
  • Cleared Steam download cache
  • Fully exited and restarted Steam before launching
  • Ran Steam repair via SteamService.exe /repair
  • Disabled Steam overlay
  • No mods installed
  • No antivirus running

The loop occurs whether launching from Steam library or directly from the exe.
The game never progresses past the Steam SDK initialization step before exiting.

Full log available if needed.

Mine as well, totally broken and on infinite loading screen. Tried to follow all the recommended fixes but still broken.

Win 11, running Geforce RXT 4060, with 32gb.

I'm trying it on my Ubuntu Linux box now.

#

Same thing happening, the game is broken.

#

I've got no steam backups, and after an uninstall & re-install, I don't have a saved game folder in the Steam app directory. FUBAR.
