As the title says.
I play VR Elite Dangerous for 90+ hours on Steam PC under the name of "Sevlech", but there was a strange issue one day when my copy of Elite Dangerous was treated as "uninstalled" on Steam, despite the files (mostly) being there. So I verified the files, and it started downloading again at 70%. But it got stuck at 100% for a while, then started downloading again at 0%, which took up twice as much space and tried to install the game twice. So I uninstalled the game.
But after reinstalling the game, the game would not longer load. I would press the green "play" button on Steam, it would say "X stop", do nothing, then a few seconds later just go to "play". It's been like this since.
I have since then:
1) Reinstalled it again (and deleted all Elite Dangerous files I could find in %appdata% local and any areas on my computer, including the steam Elite Dangerous folder where files remained after uninstalling)
2) Restarted multiple times
3) Verify the files on Steam
4) Loaded in non-VR (not a VR issue)
5) Ran a CHKDSK of my Hard Drive
6) Updated Microsoft .Net (it's latest version, game runs 4.0 onwards, despite 4.5 downloaded)
7) Attempted a SFC Scanow (got stuck at 61%, corrupted file, maybe related?)
I have also loaded the EDlaunch.exe and EliteDangerous64.exe outside Steam. EliteDangerous64 did load, however it was the wrong version so it could not be used. EDlaunch has an error message, this what was shown:
I've researched and googled this, and many other reasons and nothing has worked, I'm out of ideas. I have come here because I miss ED and I want to return. Can you please help me?
Some possible theories why this is happening:
1) Going back on #7 on what I have done, there is a corrupted file somewhere on my computer. But this does not affect other games, only ED for some reason. I don't know what I did to cause it, but I had to turn off my computer during boot up recently, and I had not played Elite since.
2) Since Win64 seems to be involved, this could be related to a shader I was trying to use on VR Elite Dangerous and did not work. However this can easily be removed, and I use it in my other games without any issue. I don't think this is related, especially since I had played Elite Dangerous fine for a couple days during this process with no issues.
3) Naturally and ED ingame situation, especially with the expansion just come on. Am I not alone on this?
