I have been unable to install this game for a painfully long time now. Every time I try to install it I receive the same error over and over again and I have no way of getting around it whatsoever.

​

What my launcher looks like before I attempt an install

​

What it looks like for about half a second after I click Install

​

The error code I get every. Single. Time.

I have tried:

Verifying the game files

Changing the game library folder location

Making sure I have enough free space in the SSD to install it

Completely and thoroughly going through my computers files to delete every last trace of the launcher and the game before re-installing the launcher again.

When I check the logs file, these are the latest lines in the file that seem to be about the failed install

I have also tried searching through the internet for anyone who has ever had similar issues but I can not for the life of me find a solution that works. I'm not afraid to admit I've screamed into a pillow several times throughout the process and I am beginning to feel I spent my money buying literally nothing.

Does anyone have a solution?
