Your antivirus may block it from starting:

theres 2 ways you can fix the problem.

FIRST: you have to add it to exceptions on your AV, i dont know how to do it properly but you can look up a tutorial (this step didnt work for me, may for you)

SECOND (worked for me): IF YOU HAVE AN DIFFERENT AV, LOOK ON HOW TO DISABLE IT disable your antivirus (im on avast) you have to open your AV and go to components, then click on the first 2 things, (click on the green arrow on both) and then choose from: 10 minutes, 1 hour, disable till restart, and permanently (you can manualy turn it on)

i hope this may have helped you, it would be nice, if you posted this guide on peoples discussions where they say they cant start

I keep crashing in the menu even after starting a new game...also, appdata isn't in the specified path OS (C:Drive) anymore. If I could access that I may be able to run it.

Yeah, adding the file to the AV exceptions did the trick. Thanks.

Thanks, man!
To all-what I did was add to my Avast's Exceptions list, where I pressume stops it stopping the game from launching. I found it in this trail---> "Steam-steamapps-common-SunsetOverdrive"

After adding it, it launched without issue! Hope this helps

yeah, im sorry i cant help you, as i said this is old and i got the sollution through trial and error so i have no idea of any other way

I just rely on Windows for AV purposes and I still can't start the game. I went to Windows Firewall settings in Control Panel and it's listed in the allowed apps. May have to request a refund for the first time in my history of purchasing games on Steam.

Ich weiß das du Deutsch bist deswegen schreibe ich in Deutsch.

Ich finde kein Tutorial oder sonst was in der richtung zum Thema wie schalte ich mein Avast Antivirus aus. Bitte um hilfe da ich das Game echt gerne spielen würde es aber nicht kann da es nichtmal startet.
