yesterday i tried booting it up for the first time on steam, i got into the beginning of the game and immediately cranked down my video settings to improve performance as my pc was having a hard time. it prompted me to restart the game to apply changes, and ever since i restarted it, the game crashes on the very first loading screen after a few seconds. i tried deleting the games files, reinstalling, deleting save/setting files to reset video settings, all to arrive at the same issue. if anyone has any ideas, help would be much appreciated

It's usually a Nvidia driver problem. Scroll through the support chats for lots of fixes.

i think it is, every time i boot it up, it first prompts me saying my driver is out of date. however i made sure my driver was up to date and saw the version was well over the minimum it recommended, so idk

i went to browse local files for dl2 from steam and found the "nvngx_dlssg.dll" file, deleted it, booted up the game and nothing changed sadly. i also tried going into steam/steamapps/common, but theres no dying light 2 folder there

alright, i tried deleting settings and backup saves from dl2 folder and it reset everything and worked. thank you for helping, have a nice day
