[2023] Suddenly game is not launching

Hi @llnOrmll,

Just to clarify, when you press ‘Play’ in Steam, is the launcher not opening correctly?

If so, please try our launcher solutions here:

Please let me know how you get on.

As you can launch in Modded realm this indicates the issue is Easy Anti-Cheat related. As this only applies to Official realm.

Are any specific error messages displayed on screen?

In any case, I recommend to try the following first -
Ensure you have appropriate Anti-Virus and Firewall exceptions in place for both Vermintide 2 and Easy Anti-Cheat.

You’ll need to add the following exceptions:

• vermintide2.exe in \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Warhammer Vermintide 2\binaries
• vermintide2_dx12.exe in \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Warhammer Vermintide 2\binaries_dx12
• EasyAntiCheat.exe in \Program Files (x86)\EasyAntiCheat

If the issue persists, next please try a ‘Selective Startup’ which can help determine if a background application is conflicting. To do this, please:

1. Press the Windows key
2. Type ‘msconfig’ and select ‘System Configuration’
3. On the ‘General’ tab, select ‘Selective Startup’
4. Deselect ‘Load Startup Items’
5. Reboot your PC
6. Launch as normal, and see if the issue persists

If the issue no longer occurs, please try reintroducing your background applications one-by-one to identify the culprit.

Please let me know how this goes.
