I’ve read a few such posts and couldn’t discern a solution.

I’ve stopped playing for a couple of months, and now, after the update, the game won’t progress past the first loading screen.

I’ve deleted the stuff in the %appdata% folder, checked the file integrity, made sure there was a firewall exception. The antivirus doens’t seem to be it, but honestly, I don’t like the game enough to try a reinstall or to uninstall my AV.

Tried launching in Safe Mode, same issue.

Ultimately, the game launched in 32-bit mode, got to the garage. I didn’t try any battles.

Has anyone had a similar issue and, if so, did they manage to get the game playing?
