Why you may ask? Well the game literally broke on my computer yesterday.

  1. It gave me a error message: Couldn't start: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Deep Rock Galactic\FSD/Binaries/Win64/FSD-Win64-Shipping.exe" FSD -nohmd
    CreateProcess() returned 2e4. I fixed this issue by giving the game admin privileges.
  2. Now it keeps saying that it needs to "wait for steam to load". I have searched the internet for solution but none has helped me.

Also my antivirus is not blocking DRG, atleast it's supposed to allow it. And the game has admin privileges.

Dunno if there are other issues that might cause this issue.

Try to restart your PC. If that doesn't resolve it, end all Steam related processes via Task Manager and finally restart Steam.

Disabling your antivirus doesn't always resolve it. Try to head into the quarantine settings of your antivirus and restore all DRG-related files that may have been caught in the quarantine.
