I figured it was the case. Thank you so much for the help!
so hi, me again, if any one else has had the issues I had, I was able to fix it by redownloading the game. I think when I downloaded the game the first few times the download got interrupted by something and caused the files to go corrupt.
I tried with my anti-virous but it wasn't what was flagging the game (literally disconnected myself from the internet and shut the whole thing down). It was my windows file explorer that was having a hernia. So yeah, if anyone else has similar issues, thats what happened to me.
