Game crashes at start up.

Had been getting on fine with the game and really enjoying it, had played about 15 hours.

Now the game crashes on start up, after pressing play on the launcher, it launches the game mostly crashing when initial loading bar is full though I sometimes get as far as having a micro second of mouse control on the splash screen.

Have not installed any new software or drivers, have tried it with AV off, have checked windows defender.

Have reinstalled twice and used propriety software to make sure there was nothing hanging around in the registry.

Other games all work fine.

The only thing is I went to delete any cached data on the the steam cloud and noticed that this game did not have a file in user data, is that normal?

Rename the fine named OPTIONS.TXT as _OPTIONS.TXT and run the game. You can find this file in the Windows documents folder at:
...\Documents\My Games\SJIDAI

Did not work ;-(

It brought up patch notes launched the game and crashed as soon as the splash screen loaded.

Then rename the folder SJIDAI as _SJIDAI in My Games folder.

Yes, I know. But have you tried my last suggestion on renaming the folder SJIDAI as _SJIDAI in the Windows documents folder?
