perhaps if you disable the steam overlay
也许如果你禁用蒸汽覆盖

Thanks for the idea, I tried it just now, but even though I disabled steam overlay, it still doesn't work, maybe there's something wrong with my computer, I'm just wondering why other games work, this one doesn't work, I can only pray I find a way eventually.

try downloading and install newest vc-redist from microsoft, verify game cache and restart pc

Also under general settings for the game under launch options what do you have selected?

Also install directx2010 redist

I tried both launch options and updated all the vc-redist runtime(2012,2013,2015-2022),I don't know much about computers,please forgive me if there are mistakes.This directx 2010 redist I only found DirectX June 2010 Redist, and if it is, it doesn't make my game work either.

have you tried to launch in other language?

also, you did you restart pc? (not talking about shutdown, restart.)

also maybe try deleting this folder:

C:\Users\******\AppData\Roaming\Pixpil

try this list, https://old.reddit.com/r/eastward/comments/tepbdj/i_cant_open_this_game/i0stfgz/

or maybe try opening game manually by starting this file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Eastward\Eastward.exe

if you have nvidia also try turning off in-game overlay
