Tried all suggested solutions, adding the exe to exceptions in antivirus, launching steam in admin mode, and verifying game files, multiple times. Interestingly Steam does find 2 corrupted files every time I verify the file intengrity, redownloads them but they are still corrupted and i get this same error.

It sounds like this is a persistent data corruption issue. Please see: https://support.fatshark.se/hc/en-us/articles/360021425793--PC-How-to-Resolve-Data-Corruption-Errors

Managed to solve my issue by deleting the game completely (through Steam) and then redownloading the whole game. Verifying game files didn’t work, but looks like a full reinstall does the trick.

My game won’t reaquire the files. I have to do a clean install every time this happens.
