How to fix Game won’t Launch – Failed to Start Issue in Armored Core 6
Armored Core 6 – Fires of the Rubicon is one of the biggest game launches of the year from Bandai Namco, and we have been playing it since it was released. But there is a problem. We are very active on forums, and many players have difficulty getting the game to launch. In alot of cases, it might happen because they are not meeting the minimum system requirements needed to run this game.
Surprisingly, people with high-end systems are also facing the same issue, so this issue has nothing to do with your PC Hardware, but still, double-checking it is necessary.
Now the question arises whether there are currently any fixes for this issue. The problem is specifically very hard to diagnose as various reasons can trigger it, and to be honest, and the situation is different for different players. If it is an issue from the developer side, don’t even think of fixing it yourself.
However, these are some generic ways to fix the Armored Core 6 Game won’t Launch issue.
How to fix this issue
The first thing you should try doing is running the Armored Core 6 executable file as an Admin. You can find the .exe in the folder where you have installed the Armored Core 6 game. Right-click on the exe file and select Properties. Then select the Compatibility option and check the box beside “Run this program as an administrator.” Instead of launching the game from Steam, you can directly launch it by double-clicking on the exe file.
You must also check whether your Antivirus or Internet Security Software is blocking the game. This is a usual issue with a lot of games that have been released in recent years. It might happen that the Armored Core 6 executable is being blocked or silently quarantined by the security software installed on the PC, thus preventing the game from launching.
So, you must first disable your security software’s Real-Time Monitoring and Real-time Scanning to play the game. If you don’t want to disable the Real-Time features, you can add the executable file to the exceptions list on your Anti Virus Software.
If you are using Windows Defender or any other third-party Antivirus Software, here are the steps to add Armored Core 6 to the Windows Defender Exceptions List.
- Go to Windows 10/Windows 11 settings.
- Get to the Update & Security.
- Select Windows Security from the left sidebar.
- Click on the Virus & Threat protection.
- Under the Virus & threat protection, find the Manage settings.
- Under Exclusions, click on Add or remove exclusions.
- Click on Add an Exclusion and select File.
- Select the .exe or executable file of Armored Core 6.
- Restart your PC.
You can also try downloading and installing the newest and the latest version of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable because it might happen that it has not been installed correctly or corrupted.
If none of the above-mentioned fixes works for you, you must reinstall the game completely.
So this was all about how to fix the Armored Core 6 game won’t Launch Issue.
