Verify File Integrity
If you’ve downloaded Cyberpunk from Steam, and facing launch issues, then you can perform a scan of the game files using an option in Steam. For that
- Go to steam
- Find Cyberpunk in the Steam library
- Right-click on it and click on Properties
- Find the “Local Files” tab on the window that has opened.
- There you will find an option-“Verify File Integrity”, click on it and let Steam run a scan of your game files
After the scan, the corrupted game files preventing the launch of Cyberpunk will be fixed and hopefully, the issue will be resolved.
Download Microsoft Visuals C++
These files are really important to run any game on your PC. Although whenever you will download any game from Steam and try to launch it, Steam will automatically download Microsoft Visuals C++ if not already installed on your computer. But sometimes it might not. Then just manually download the required files from the given link-
Provide administrative privileges to Cyberpunk.exe file
To do this,
- Go to Steam and find Cyberpunk in your library
- Rightclick on the game and click manage and then select browse files
- Now the install directory of Cyberpunk is opened.
- You will see REDprelauncher.exe on the screen. Provide administrative rights to this .exe file
- Then head over to the bin folder followed by the x64 folder where you will find Cyberpunk.exe. Provide administrative rights to it as well.
After doing this, launch Cyberpunk and the game should open without any issues
Remove Antivirus
Antiviruses often block game files to run as they find them suspicious. To launch the game, either disable your antivirus or grant bypass of the game file in the antivirus application
Reinstall
If none of the given methods work, the last option left is to uninstall the game and then install it again. With new game files and settings, the issues faced earlier might be resolved.
