Epic - Not Able to Get Past Launch Screen

We're aware that some players are unable to get past the "Press Any Button" screen when launching Slime Rancher 2 on the Epic Games launcher.

Option 1: Relog into your Epic account
This may simply be a temporary login issue. Signing out of your Epic Games account and then signing back in often resolves the problem.

Option 2: Install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (x64)
In other cases, this issue can be resolved by installing the most recent Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (x64). Download it directly from Microsoft here:

After installing the package, please restart your computer and try launching the game again.

Option 3: Reinstall the game in a new location
There is also a chance this may be caused by a folder permissions conflict. Reinstalling to a different location may resolve this.

If none of these steps help, please create a support ticket and attach your player-prev log so we can take a closer look.
