    Ok so last night I updated my Nvidia drivers to 390.77...
    After update SoT just flashes grey window on start and crahes back to desktop...
    I tryed everything.. Rolling back to previous drivers didnt help...
    So after 4 driver downgrade trys I just gave up and went to sleep..
    Today mordning I upgraded Nvidia back to newest drivers (390.77) nostart... just that grey window and crash to desktop... So I destroyed all game files from my pc and reinstalled whole game... now it starts again :O
    Juts for heads up! if someone stumbles on same... only fix is reinstall whole game :/

    @enteredalarm40 yeh frustrating but may help if you reinstall again :/
    sad thing that microsoft programs makes you also download the game again :/

    I had the same issue but it wasn't related to graphics drivers. I had to change my login to a Microsoft account instead of a local account and it has worked fine ever since.
