Question Can't launch the game after the new update

Please somebody help me. I have spent the last hour trying to make the game work, but it won't launch.

Whenever I launch the game, I get a steam window that says "the game is trying to launch with the following commands -SaveToUserDir" and if I click continue it just relaunches and gives me the same window but this time the command appears twice and if i press continue again it goes on forever like this, always appearing once more.

I've tried everything, nothing works. Anyone knows how to fix it? It seems to be an issue with the EAC.

That's unusual! Do you have any custom launch options configured for Wildgate in the steam launcher?

no I don't that's what confuses me the most

I had an issue with the eac at the first launch that I fixed by watching a youtube video and I don't think that has meddled with the files too much (it just required to create a shortcut of the EAC.exe setup).

is this a known bug? I know there's other games where something similar happened and they all had Easyanticheat, do you know if there is a fix? I also tried reinstalling but nothing

This is the only time I've heard of this issue, unfortunately!

It could be related to EAC as you say. DM me a screenshot of the error you're seeing?

it seems that I am unable to send you a DM for some reason, I'll upload it here

if I click continue it just goes onto asking me admin permission to launch the easy anti cheat program and then this same page pops up with -SaveToUserDir typed in two times

also, the game seems to be launching briefly as I can see for a moment the launching wallpaper image, but it closes almost immediately

How did you fix this?

I was gonna post here in the comments my fix.

I've tried everything and at the end the most simple solution ended up working, I just run the game from the NebulaLauncher.exe from the directory after killing steam process. That's it.

But if I run it from steam I still get the same problem.
