    I recently updated the game on Epic Games launcher to play, but the game now can no longer launch. The log error mentions that Passthrough cannot go through and so the game isn’t launched. I never had this problem until I updated the game. Has anyone else had this problem?

    I'm not a PC gamer, but I have some knowledge of PC stuff in general. This sounds to me like a graphics card issue. Try making sure all of your drivers are up to date or visit the manufacture's website for your graphics card/GPU and make sure you have the latest version of everything installed.

    This should now be resolved. If you are still having issues with loading up the game, reply to this thread or submit a support ticket, and we can investigate.

    Hi,

    I've been having trouble launching the game on steam too since last patch.
    It didn't launch, then after reinstalling it did although sometimes took multiple tries. Today it doesn't launch anymore. Restarting the PC and/or steam seems to have no effect, same with verifying integrity of files. I tried launching from steam, launching from the desktop, launching from desktop with steam closed, no result.
    Launching directly from the .exe i get an error message saying i have no license...

    All other games in my library launch with no issues, this is the only game that has ever done this.
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    UPDATE: After launching another game on steam and closing it, WOS has launched.

    Thank you for the feedback, have you got any mods installed?
