Does your steam name contain special characters or symbols?

I get the same error every time there’s an update. And every time it takes days to finally get back, usually with a different solution. Last time I cleared the Steam Cache (Steam>>Settings>Downloads>[Clear Download Cache]<). Before that it was logging in in Single player mode first. Time before that it was unsubscribing to mods… Check the Conan log files for a clue (Go to your local log files: /ConanSandbox/Saved/Logs.)
Also, there is no need to sit through the cinematics. (Conansandbox/Config/defaultgame.ini.) Scroll down til you see:
+StartupMovies=StartupUE4
+StartupMovies=StartupNvidia
+StartupMovies=CinematicIntroV2

Change the pluses to minuses:
-StartupMovies=StartupUE4
-StartupMovies=StartupNvidia
-StartupMovies=CinematicIntroV2
No more cinematics

Rache, there is a bit simpler way to skip the cinematics with the same effect that you may want to try.

Using the same file and path you listed, find:

bWaitForMoviesToComplete=True
and change it to:
bWaitForMoviesToComplete=False

I get about a second or so of one movie then the main menu loads.

I only wish I had a solution to the other issues; they sound quite frustrating :frowning:
