FS19 Crashes on startup

[Unreal_Nick]

I recently downloaded FS19 from epic games as it was free and I wanted to try it out. I launched it immediately and it was perfectly fine. I play for about an hour and all was well. I ended up stopping around 10 minutes later. A couple of days go by and I want to play again but when I launch it, nothing happens. It doesn't open, I try opening it in the file, I try opening it in Epic Games Launcher, I even try opening it as administrator but it does not work. What happens is, when I open it, my screen flashes and goes smaller, then it flashes again and goes back to normal, nothing opens though.
Here are my specs:
Lenovo IdeaPad 330
Ryzen 5 2500U ( 4cores )
8gb RAM
Vega 8 Graphics

There isn't even a logfile for me to see what's wrong.

Same issue here, game just does not open. Nothing in game logs or in windows logs, even checked firewall.

This is happening to both my installs, one is on epic games, the other is on steam. All other games seem to launch just fine in both launchers, but FS19 does not launch.
Verified in both, removed mods, del'ed shader caches "reverified". reinstalled game from new. Updated all drivers and windows.

Did you delete the Farming Simulator 19 folder (or at least game.xml or whatever it is too)?

Also nice PC setup, similar to what I wanted to build.

I did full clean up "backed up first.". I am not even getting errors from epic launcher, it shows game as authenticating correctly, then nothing.

What do you mean by “clean up”?
That or my technolese is getting rusty...

First i removed mod folder, did not work. I removed shader cache and verified, removed game gamesettings.xml's and reverified. Reinstalled game completely.

[DEERE317]

Try deleting the entire folder itself (and the game files) and reinstalling, otherwise I’m out of ideas.

Thanks, i did this for steam and epic games. no luck, i have put in a ticket and will respond with a solution if one comes available, but i am open to other suggestions.

Resolved this issue for Steam and Epic Games by removing and uninstalling Steering Wheel / Joystick then re - installing game to a newly created directory. "different from default install directory.
NOTE: after install the game will pop up a window to ask if you want to use existing game.xml, you have to say no.

Game now launches into cinematic, settingless and modless.
