"selftext": "I got the Steam key after watching ON1C for a hour or so on Twitch. I tried starting it up and it won't launch.\n\nhttps://reddit.com/link/1elbap0/video/4xxxzjcjtzgd1/player\n\nI tried verifying game files. \nI updated my GPU driver. \nUninstalled and reinstalled. \nVerified game files again. \nRebooted PC (actually was the first thing I tried). \nExcluded it in Windows Defender. \n \nMy system exceeds minimum requirements. \nCPU: i5 8400 clocking at 3.9 GHz, GPU RX 580, and 16 GB ram, 4 TB ssd (plenty of space).\n\nAlso tried it in the launcher from the Delta Force website. Actually got into the game until after the shaders. Then it said account wasn't whitelisted. \nSo I guess the only way to play is through Steam, if it launches. \nI will just have to wait to see if they can fix it.",

Atleast that's work for me."
