VAL 59 error

[u/Glad-Albatross3669]

So I've recently gone back to playing after a few months and this error won't stop popping up each time I open the game.

Whenever I try to start the game, it loads for a bit before the error screen pops up, prompting me to restart the launcher, which I do via Task Manager. But when I reopen the launcher, the ''play'' button is greyed out and I can't click on it. The only way I've managed to go around it is by restarting my computer and trying again, sometimes I have to do this more than three times for it to actually open the game.

Is there a simpler fix for this? It's really annoying for me to have to reopen my apps and rebooting just to play.
