Guide to fixing the Deathloop Launch issue

Check System Requirements

Before you attempt any of the solutions mentioned below, you have to make sure that your PC meets the minimum system requirements for Deathloop. If it does not, there’s no point in attempting any of the solutions, as your PC simply won’t be able to run the game.

Minimum

Recommended

Verify Deathloop‘s cache in Steam

You can try verifying Deathloop’s game cache in Steam as this may find missing or damaged files that need to be repaired, even if you’ve just installed the game.

Disable integrated graphics

Make sure that you are not running the game on your integrated graphics on your CPU instead of your discrete GPU. Because then, you are just leaving all that performance on the table. We recommend disabling your integrated graphics via the BIOS settings prior to launching the game. For more information on accessing your BIOS, please see your laptop/motherboard manufacturer manual.

Turn off your anti-virus

Turn off your anti-virus programs. Sometimes, these pesky programs will think of your game as a virus and won’t allow you to open them. You can also add the game to your exclusion list of both your firewall and the anti-virus software. We recommend users add all of the following files and folders to the Anti-virus and Firewall exclusion list to prevent this issue.

Game.exe Default Location:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Deathloop

Steam.exe Default Location:

 C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam

Steam AppData Default Location:

 C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Steam

Run the game as Administrator

Some users can get the game running properly by running Steam.exe in administrator mode. This can be done by right-clicking on the .exe file and selecting Run as administrator. In addition to this, try running the game’s .exe file in administrator mode as well.

Change your computer power settings

Make sure that your computer or laptop is using a high-performance power plan, otherwise, it will limit itself in terms of performance to save power.

All Done

After following all of these fixes, you should be able to get the game up and running without having to worry about the game not launching ever again.
