File I/O error CAN'T EVEN LAUNCH GAME (SOLVED)

Discussion
1

I downloaded Crossout for the first time last night and really enjoyed my time playing. Unfortunately when I went to play tonight I got a File I/O Error on launch and the game will not open. I have tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling on steam with no luck, I have even tried downloading the client from the website and I got the same error. I have reinstalled the game on every hard drive in my PC ( I have 4 SSD’s) and I tried deleting the Crossout folder in C:\Users\Username\Documents\My Games and still no luck.

This is a shame because I was looking forward to putting time into this game and now I cant. My computers specs are more then good enough for this game but here they are:

Intel i7 9700k
RTX 2070
G.Skill 3000mhz DDR4 8g x4 (32g total)

If anyone has any ideas as to what could be causing this I would greatly appreciate any help.

did it say anything else apart form io error? and did you check the log files inside the My Games folder?

Can you take a screen snapshot of the file i/o error message and post it here?

Thanks for this tip I didnt look at the logs. I updated my graphics driver yesterday and it caused my PC to BSOD on install. First time its ever happened. When my pc booted back up Geforce was showing that the driver had been installed but In the log it was showing a Direct X error. So I rolled back the driver installation then reinstalled the newest driver again and the game is working fine now.

Thank you.
