I will add, that even using the information given on your website about this loop, it still doesnt work. Theres more than enough space on the Solid State etc. this is the only game its happening to.

I wonder if this could be related to: [Launcher keeps asking to verify files but never does](https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/launcher-keeps-asking-to-verify-files-but-never-does/93554)

In which case, it should be addressed in an upcoming update.

Possibly. We will have to wait and see. Every other game runs fine Helldivers 2 etc and that’s on the same engine.
