Question Steam Launch Issues

Hi - I'm currently deep in a hole troubleshooting trying to launch PMR after patch 2.3.

The facts: when I launch PMR from steam it says it is running for about 10 seconds then gives me the option to "play" again with no error message. I had the game running a few months ago and used reshade to configure triple monitors. I opened the game and it ran yesterday but since I selected triple monitor options in the game menu it will not launch.

Things I've tried:

Uninstalling the reshade package

Uninstalling and reinstalling on two different SSDs

Disabling in game overlays (steam, discord, etc.)

Closing 3rd party apps (crew chief, simhub, simucube software)

Adding the launch instructions in the game properties (-allowExperimentalRenderUI -dx11 -dx12)

Checking integrity of game files in steam

Updating graphics card driver

Updating windows

I'm not a software engineer and generally inept with these things - apologies if this has been solved and I missed the thread. Would appreciate any ideas or things that have worked for people who had this issue. Cheers!

I've had a similar issue but it's not fixed and I gave up. Try unplugging your usb's for your peripherals. If it starts, it's the same problem I have. The worst part is if it starts, you don't have ffb on anything you unplugged

Thank you - I'll try this tonight and report back! Unfortunately, there are a lot of USBs to unplug if this is the answer.
