No error message, just CTDs at the endless legend logo.


Tried the following : 

-Edited the system environment variables, both 32bit and 64bit versions 

-Tried opting in to the 32 bit beta, wont even launch because it complains EndlessLegend.cmd is missing

 -Verified files multiple times

-Tried win 7 compatability 

-Tried "-force-d3d11", "-useembedded" and "-useshellexecute"

 -Tried running as admin

 -Tried adding the game folder as an exception to windows defender 

-Installed .net framework 4.8.1 (theres no .net installation files in the game folder)


Only thing that might help is this in output log :

Failed to initialize the Steam API; aborting...


Win 10 64 bit, AMD chipset + amd graphics card btw.


Did a lot of searching, this is the only thing that seems relevant : https://community.amplitude-studios.com/amplitude-studios/endless-legend/forums/13-tech-support/threads/56167-endless-legend-keeps-crashing-on-startup-at-the-endless-legend-logo#post-379548


This is the version of the game that was free on Steam a while back btw.


Edit : Tried restarting steam and it works now
