    The game will not open no matter what.
    If i restart my PC, the game launches on first try if it's the first thing i open, if i don't then i can try anything.
    Run as admin, from shortcut, from folder, doesn't matter, nothing works. No errors, no nothing. I tried troubleshooting it aswell and it doesn't do it.
    Reinstalled, didn't work. Installed it from steam, didn't work.

    my pc specs are (if it matters)
    amd ryzen 9 3900x 12 core 24 thread
    rtx 2070
    16 gb ram
    1t M2 (game installed here)
    2t SSD

    Which OS are you running? Does the launcher start up at all, or does the game not initiate when you press the start button on the launcher?

    Here are a couple of things to try.

    Goto your game folder and Right click on your NINEDRAGONS.EXE file and go to properties and try the following settings.

    Also, go to you win10 defender exclusion list and add both the game folder and the EXE files into the list.

    Next, try to start the game by double clicking on the NDLAUNCHER.EXE directly from the game folder. This usually starts the launcher where you can change the screen resolution settings and the start button. If you aren't able to start the game via the launcher, try double clicking on the NINEDRAGONS.EXE file directly and see if that works.

    Goodluck :)

    Hmm, might be something unexpected altogether. Did gameguard finish updating itself? Try deleting the gameguard folder in the 9Dragons Awaken folder and let it download and update itself again. Also, open the Xlauncher.log file from the game folder and scroll to the bottom of that log file. Does it say "Server Version : 243"?

    Strange.

    I'm guessing that your launcher has not started up before, and may not have updated to the latest patch, or any of the earlier patches. You can see a sample of mine in the spoilers below.

    Start launcher sub module

    End version check.

    End of launcher sub module
    =============================================================================

    The thread link below may or may not apply to your situation, but its worth a shot I suppose. Also, if your system is running an antivirus, do check it's quarantine list to make sure it hasn't suspended the game exe file from running.

    Answering the above may run afoul certain game and forum rules.

    UPDATE. Got home, did windows updates, reinstalled game, did vc_redix. did everything possible, quarantine, etc,
    the problem was, the launcher does not like 144 Hz or 240 Hz framerate and/or G-Sync monitor enabled....that's all....it works on 60 Hz with G-Sync disabled.
