When trying to start the simulator I don’t get the splash screen and after a couple of minutes I get an error box that states that:
C:\ProgramFiles...\GameLaunchHelper.exe
This operation returned because the timeout period expired.
A restart usually fixes this issue, however I sometime have it after a fresh boot. I’m not quite sure what this issue is and is driving me crazy. I have reinstalled the sim, cleaned my community folder, reinstalled Windows. I still keep getting this reoccurring error.
Same issue here - have you solved it already ?
Sadly I have not. Restarting my PC usually gets it working but that’s a frustrating solution.
Reinstall Gaming Services.
