I have a Ryzen 5 2600, GTX 2060, 16 GB RAM, Windows 10 Home PC, and when I press play on the launcher window on Steam the window closes but the game does not launch. I've tried updating graphics drivers, rebooting, and verifying files. Any help would be appreciated.
I just tried the standalone download outside of Steam and it doesn't launch either.

things to try, run steam and the game as admin, good luck
How do I run Steam as an Administrator.
Right-click on the Steam icon on your desktop or Navigate to your Steam folder and right-click Steam.exe.
Select Properties.
Click on the Compatibility tab.
Check Run This Program As An Administrator.
Click the Apply button.
Click the OK button.
and the game or any game
Code: Select all

then on the downloaded version, on a clean install, right click and install as admin on the installer and do it all on default, get C and location etc and see if that helps, as tbh that gives full permissions and bypassess anything odd in most peoples system like no default firewalls or A/V programs etc

You may get a faster reply by posting directly on the devs' forum in this case, but I've asked that they check in here as well.

I fixed my problem by changing the setting for Windows Defender under exploit protection mandatory ASLR from on to off by default. Hope it helps someone else.
