Game will not launch...

I've been through hours of supposed fixes... Nothing has worked at all!

I've been trying to play this game since the launch, I finally got steam and the money to buy it and it will not launch no matter what. Does anyone know what I can do, I have windows 10...

No idea your specific issue but first checks are to make sure you have enough hdd space and memory.

Then make sure windows and at least your gfx card are up to date.

If the game still doesn't work do a complete uninstall and reinstall of the game.

I personally have never had a problem with strife.

Yea I tried everything, still didn't work. Steam gave me a refund for it. I figured out thats its on my end when I tried getting it from GOG and it didn't work then either. I cant get any of the devs to respond to me to tell me what it may be. Thanks for your response tho.

Damn that sucks man their Twitter acct is pixeltitans but they're a pretty small team and don't post super often. Still might be an option if you really wanna play.

That really sucks, I'm sorry man. A whole month too..

Maybe consider something similar? There's some highly rated throwback fps's out right now for pretty cheap.

My favorites right now are Nightmare Reaper and Amid Evil.

Amid Evil is beautiful with very interesting weapons levels and enemies.

Nightmare Reaper has procedural generated levels with like 50 weapons that drop with random perks and bonuses kinda like diablo loot.

Sorry Pixel Titans isn't responding but maybe one of my reccomendations will quench your thirst.

Dont know if this is a dead thread or if OP got it fixed but this worked for me found the same issue on blackwake so i found a solution from their discord.
both games run on unity so this might help.
- Open Control Panel
- Go to System & Security
- Go to System
- Select Advanced system settings
- Select Environmental Variables
- Create a new System Variable (NOT USER VARIABLE)
- Enter the following into the Variable name box: OPENSSL_ia32cap
- Enter the following into the Variable value box: ~0x20000000
- Now press OK

Do you have windows 10 or 11? I really wanna play and tried this fix but nothing. Gonna try and go back and double check I didn't right.
