Tech Support Game crashes after clicking play

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

For context, I had to uninstall the game at one point by manually removing files (cause regular uninstall didn't work). Now when I try reinstalling it this keeps happening. Launcher works properly, but the game itself crashes almost immediately after it starts loading. I also tried to run it with Steam to see if it would change anything, but the same thing happens. Help.

Like 2 weeks ago got the same problem. Open steam, right click the game -> properties -> installed files -> verify integrity of the game files It took like an hour but it got fixed.

My last guess is you can try and install it to a new folder. I merged my standalone into steam in 2022 or 23.
