#Crash on startup

I've been trying to play the game for the past few weeks, saw a new update was out and thought to try again but the game still will not start up.

(I click play, Steam shows as currently running for 2 seconds then goes back to blue), same if I run as administrator from .exe. I have previously played 5.5hrs when I first bought the game to try it out and had no issues.

Specs:
Microsoft Windows 11 Home
13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-13400F 2.50 GHz
16.0 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
Installed on a 1TB SSD (with 719GB free)

All drivers up to date. No other games has issues. I do not have Razor Cortex or AMD installed. Task manager acts like nothing has been opened.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times on 2 different SSDs, verified integrity, tried running in admin mode and compatibility mode, turned off cloud saves and deleted the local %appdata% cloud save file (only save file I can find), added to windows defender and virus & threat protection, changed launching properties as both dx11 and dx12, disabled steam overlay and nothing has worked so far...

Some help would be great.

Where is the crash report file location? I've gone through all of the Project Coral files and can't find them. UE4 Crash Reporter does not pop up.

Steam_autocloud.vdf is the only visable file there, which was what I deleted as stated in my post.

#

(before it's asked) Yes I have verified files and then tried to launch before looking for the crash files again. Seems like the game will not start up enough to even get a crash report.

Hi ! Does this problem still happening in your game after the latest update? Did you receive any crash log from the crash?

Right, I managed to get it working. I uninstalled all of my C++ applications and only reinstalled C++ x86 and x64. Apparently those were what was causing the non-startup issues.

(I had reinstalled these earlier, however I didn't delete the other/old versions before doing so, so there must have been a conflict).
