If the game still won’t launch after updating

Hello everyone, this is the LIFUEL development team.

Recently, there was an issue where Windows Defender was forcefully deleting the game. We released an update to fix this about an hour ago (from the time of this announcement). However, if the game still does not launch, it may be due to a caching issue.

This problem can usually be resolved simply by reinstalling the game.

Before reinstalling, we recommend backing up your save files just in case. While Steam Cloud is supported, there is a chance your saves may not have synced properly due to network issues.

Alternative methods without reinstalling

Clear Steam Download Cache

1. Open the Steam client

2. In the top menu, click Steam

3. Open Settings

4. On the left, select Downloads

5. Click Clear Download Cache

Steam will restart and you will need to log in again. This will clear cached data related to downloads, which can help if the game executable was cached incorrectly.

Verify Integrity of Game Files

1. In your Steam Library, right-click the game → select Properties

2. Go to the Installed Files tab

3. Click Verify integrity of game files…

This will replace the game executable with the latest version.
