Game gives initialization error always

[willxxx]

Game gives initialization error always I’ve tried reinstalling the game at least 5 times, deleted all possible related files, including saves, deleted cache, emptied recycle, deleted cloud files; everything. The game still gives me the same initialization error every time. Can anyone please help me?

Launcher Crashes and a Method of Fixing it

I think there’s also a way of launching the game directly from within Steam using the contextual menu?
