Game launches but won't open (Dying Light 2: Stay Human)
To everyone reading this post, good afternoon. Faced after a recent update with such a problem: the game through Steam starts, but does not open. When I try to start the game again, Steam says that "the game is already running." Solving the problem by reinstalling the Microsoft Visual C++++ libraries did not give any results. Trying to force quit the game through the task manager and trying to go through the files also did not give a tangible result. If anyone has had this problem and managed to solve it, please share!!

Hello, thank you for your reply! As for the integrity of the files, I already checked, nothing has changed. I thought the problem was in the drivers for the video card, but here it is by.

Did not try to open in the process of tasks after starting the game?

That's right! The game is running there and you can even forcibly end the process))) But still nothing changes

Windows 7
I don't know what the developers did there, because the game was bought at the release and it started perfectly. After the update (somewhere in February yet), it no longer started

Well, windows 7 is doubtful in our time, but if it was launched, it means that after the update it set dx12 in the parameters, and for this it probably does not start, since windows 7 does not fully support dx12 only at the basic level!

In short, in steam, right-click on the game, find properties, then general and there will be a launch options line, enter -dx11 or -d3d11 try this and that!

As far as directix is ​​concerned, it's a good idea.
Try this.
Find the file "video.scr" in the directory "drive C - users - your nickname - documents - dying light 2 - out - settings".
Rename it to video.txt. Open it with a text editor and see what you have in brackets next to "RendererMode".
Spoiler 
In your case, it should say "RendererMode("d3d11")".
Do not forget to rename the file back to "video.scr".
If everything is already spelled out as it should, then already xs, wait for the updates, they can fix it. Or try to install win10.

That's where it is! otherwise I also wanted to offer him to change dx through the config file, but I didn’t understand in which file!

I disabled myltso through this file earlier (all anti-aliasing parameters are set to 0).

Thank you so much!!! Everything turned out, it was "d3d12", changed to 11 and everything started successfully!
