I got the Spacers Choice edition on EGS and installed it today to give it a go and it will "Launch" and say its "running" for a couple seconds before it then just goes back to saying "Launch" again after not doing anything.

Would love some help getting this going.

Have you tried running the epic launcher as admin?

#

Or run the game exe as admin?

ive tried both of those and the same thing happens:

i click launch
the text changes to say that its running
it says its running for a few seconds
then switches back to saying 'Launch' without anything happening

Hey OP, have you tried verifying the game files?

I haven't played the spacers choice edition. I did hear it has some issues.
When you uninstall the game make sure you have config files removed as well.
I wonder if something in the config file is the reason for it not running.
