Hello @flexthecopycat and welcome to Discussions. Sorry to hear you can't launch the game and verifying game files did not help to solve the issue.
You have mentioned you are receiving the warning, can you provide the screenshot of this warning or any errors you are getting?
Note that they can be a maximum of 2,000 pixels in length, 2,000 pixels in height, or 2MB in filesize. Alternatively, they can be uploaded to any other website of your choice, and a link sent to us here on the forum thread.
Also, please run through the rest of this FAQ as it is designed to resolve these issues.
Thank you in advance for any further information that you provide, and please let me know if you need any additional assistance in the meantime!
Thanks for the reply @flexthecopycat.
So the game shuts itself down after you see the splash screen, after launching?
There may be a number of reasons the game may be refusing to launch now. To try and narrow this cause down, please give Oxavo's troubleshooting steps a try in this guide, as they contain the most common fixed for crashing games >

Can I also ask, when you last played the game successfully, did you make any changes to the settings at all, such as display, video graphics you can remember?
Thanks for confirming!
I'd like you to check two more things that are not listed in the troubleshooting guide, which would be to check your anti-virus or built-in Windows anti-virus, Defender, in case it is blocking certain Valhalla files and preventing it from launching.
Make sure the game is not quarantined as a threat in your anti-virus software if using any and please also check in your 'Protection History' in your Windows 'Virus & threat protection settings, by looking for this option for this in your main settings on Windows.
If any game files are quarantined as a threat, this can stop the game from launching or connecting online.
Afterwards, please run a System File Check (SFC) for any corrupted system files and a CHKDSK for any corrupted hard drives or missing files on your system which may be causing these crashes >

Should neither of these steps work, please let me know and I will create a support case for you to investigate this further.
