Game won’t start - please help!

[c19580]

I’m unable to start the game and nothing I’ve tried has helped…

 

I was playing the game in VR and it suddenly froze and wouldn’t respond to any command, so I did a forced PC restart. 
 

When I try to start the game in Steam, the Play button will change to Stop (blue), but the game never loads. If I open windows task manager, it shows IL2 running with 6% of CPU and 43 Mb of RAM. I tried opening the game in VR and monitor modes but nothing…

 

this is what I’ve tried:

- updated Nvidia drivers

- installed Windows updates

- uninstalled IL2 in Steam and reinstalled

- verified IL2 program files in Steam

- verified that I was able to open MSFS in Steam to rule out a Steam issue

 

I’m also wondering if it could be a VR issue but I’m ruling that out for now since I’m unable to start the game in monitor mode.

please help me if there’s anything else I should try. Thanks!
