DW2 only working when launched as admin

Post by MorningDew »

Since the most recent update, I have to run DW2 as administrator. I cannot launch from Steam - it never appears. But if I run as administrator from file explorer it works.

Any suggestions?

Hey thanks for the report! We've noticed that some users are having issues launching DW2 and other titles due to a possible launcher issue that we're currently investigating. We've updated the Steam launch procedure where now you can choose whether to launch the game directly or you'd like the launcher.

If you're having launch issues that may be related to the Matrix/Slitherine game launcher please reach out to our support team here: support@matrixgames.com, so that they may help troubleshoot with you and help resolve this issue.
