Can't start game -- no messages

So I really want to try this game, but it seems no matter what I do when I press 'play' on itch.io app nothing happens. I tried manually running it in admin mode, but it still won't load. No messages at all.

Early I got it to ask to insert a disk into a USB Drive, but I managed to get that to stop and I haven't gotten that message since. Still can't load the game at all.

Hey Jackz, what is your system specs. Are you running 32 bit or 64 bit?

Have you tried restarting your computer?

Yes I have

You wanna check if the installation folder is intact? All you need to do is located the game folder and check if ShopSim.Exe is in the folder? Also Engine and ShopSim folder is there and there is content in those folders? If there is then uninstall everything and manually download the files from the itch website.. Let me know if this helped?

The files are in there. I have re-installed it a few times already and I have already downloaded seperate from itch.io, both itch.io(directly launching) and from outside have no message and nothing happens.

edit: I think it seems to be an issue with unreal 4 engine. I installed the launcher, but it seems I can't launch the launcher. So I think your game is working fine, just unreal engine failing.

edit2: It seems to be related to the fact I have to use openGL to run both the launcher or your game. But I cannot use openGL on the game as it seems you don't support it (It wants the game to bake it:


im having same problems when I click on the exe nothing happens and I'm running windows 10 and it should work because some youtubers have windows 10 and they played it

KEEP CALM AND TAKE A CHILL PILL

Raging at the developer to get it fixed will lead you no where. The best think you can do is try to find the logs file and upload it to Dropbox for the dev to view and fix. Games can't be rushed to completion. Patience fellow the time will come
