Build A9.4 (diagnostic build)
Added 2019-10-23 22:09:11 +0000 UTCYou need it, I need you to need it...
It slows down the game launch to a crawl but once you have ONE deliberate action in the game, it gets back to normal speed. Saved games should be fine.
get it here: http://bit.ly/SetupFS
The slowness is caused by the many logs sent to the server at each step of the game launcher. I will disable it as soon as I get enough data to fix the bug. There won't be a need for a new build to disable the heavy log collection, it will be disabled from the server side.
Try a clean install and keep on testing as you normally would.
Thanks for helping.
EDIT: I have found a workaround!
for those not able to launch a game go to the properties of the game executable and run it with Windows 8 settings.

This should make it run again.
I'll disable the logging so the game can launch at normal speed again, thanks to everyone for your help and patience with this issue. A permanent fix is on the way, hopefully with Build 9.5
