Game won't start (Steam)

Hello. After a year-long break from playing Grim Dawn, I wanted to come back, but it turned out that the game won’t launch. A year ago everything was fine and the game worked immediately after installation. I haven’t changed anything on my computer since then except upgrading to Windows 11. Now a black screen appears and nothing else happens. When I click on the screen, “not responding” appears and the window closes.

  • I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game,
  • I disabled the antivirus,
  • I used the “Repair.exe” file in the game folder, but that didn’t help either,
  • I don’t have any mods,
  • I changed the resolution in the game files.

Nothing I did above helped to launch the game.

Rename the configuration file in the GD directory.

Then start the game and that file will be recreated.
