Game crashes on first splash screen

If you have a DX11 capable graphics card and also have an integrated GPU (as most laptops do), please check your graphics driver/control panel settings to make sure you have the right one selected to run the game.

VNGame.exe crash - VNGame.exe has stopped working or hang on launch
The most common cause of this is corrupt files in the user directory or missing prerequisite files. Please try the following:
  • Delete your documents/my games/Rising Storm 2/ folder directory completely
  • Verify Steam cache. Right-click on RS22 in Steam Library > Properties > Local Files > [Verify Integrity]
  • For a deeper verification try deleting your steamapps/common/RisingStorm2/binaries folder as well as the /ROGame/BrewedPC/ GlobalShaderCache and LocalShaderCache .bin and .upk files before you verify integrity
  • The game may be trying to compile shaders if it appears to hang on launch. You can check for this by looking for a shadercompiler.exe in your Task Manager. If you find it, waiting for the process to finish should allow the game to launch as normal.
  • Running the .exe redist files located in your SteamApps/common/risingstorm2/_CommonRedist location
  • Update any device drivers you have to the latest available
  • Make Sure your Windows install is up to date
  • Windows 7 users please make sure you have this update: https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=36805
  • Disconnect USB controllers and other HID devices except for keyboard and mouse
  • Restart Steam client
  • Launch Steam (or set the game .exe) to launch as an Administrator
  • Turn off DxTory
  • Change your Steam avatar icon to a Steam default one
  • Make sure Easy Anti Cheat has installed properly - If you recieve an error related to RisingStorm2.exe it is likely related to EAC. More details can be found here: https://support.easyanticheat.net/kb/?lr=en-us
You will also want to try the following launch options (via Steam properties for the game):
