I downloaded the game, and on my first time playing i got “backend rejected challenge response” without touching any launch settings and ofc on official server. I tried modded server, and for some reason it worked perfectly fine even thought ive never installed any mods and i also tried unubscribing from the countries in lobby broswer. but ofc being a level 1 i cant really play the game.
I’ve tried the following to fix:
1.)Verify integrity game files like 3 times
2.)Repaired anticheat like 10 times, and did the little “deselect load startup items” thing in msconfig and restarted
3.)Made sure game is approved on firewall
NOTE: at some point in my trial and error process of trying to fix, whenever i launch the game a popup saying “you have a steam_appid.txt file in your launcher folder that can interfere with the correct working of this game. Click OK to remove it”.
after that a steam popup saying: "Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is attempting to launch with the optional parameters shown below; “–bundle-dir …\bundle”. This would loop until steam says an error occurred while running verm and then bleh. Cant even get to launcher
4.)Finally, i uninstalled and reinstalled and after waiting a long a very long time. The same popups from the above are showing. Once again i tried anticheat repair, verify files, etc. and nothing. Im at a complete loss now and i really want to play the game. help.
