I wanted to play this game on my laptop (Asus TUF F15, I5-11400h, RTX 3050TI Win 11), but i've encountered a really bizarre problem.

When i install the game it runs perfectly fine, but if reboot the pc the game will no longer start. The task manager will show it running as a background app, but it will never launch. I've tired starting it with the game executable itself, but that doesn't work either. Also I can't find any info about this specific issue online either, only ones related to missing redistributables, but the game runs correctly the first time so they can't be an issue.

Could anyone suggest a solution?

Just a thought but It might be something to do with your anti-virus program. Try excluding the game exe or even the entire folder and see if that makes a difference. Another idea, a thing I've found with some GOG games is that if I block the game via my firewall I then have to disable my internet connection to get them to run. Not sure if either of these ideas will help but might be worth trying out. Good luck.

Well, I decided to also install it on my desktop pc, and it works perfectly fine there, have no idea why. The only thing noticed that the firewall premission window popped up when i first started the game, and that didn't happen on my laptop, so it could have been windows blocking the game, but my internet is slow and i don't want to dowload it all over again just to check.

Did you download the offline installers and install from them or just use Galaxy? If you do have the offline installers, just copy them over via a memory stick so there's no need to re-download. Offline installers are also useful (for all your games) as a back up to keep in case GOG ever goes down or is lost.
