1. Delete your documents/my games/Rising Storm 2/ folder directory completely (You should also check your steamapps/common/RisingStorm2/ROGame/Config folder and delete any .ini files that do not start with "default")
2. Verify Steam cache. Right-click on RS22 in Steam Library > Properties > Local Files > [Verify Integrity]
3. For a deeper verification try deleting your steamapps/common/RisingStorm2/binaries folder as well as the /ROGame/BrewedPC/ GlobalShaderCache and LocalShaderCache .bin and .upk files before you verify integrity
4. The game may be trying to compile shaders if it appears to hang on launch. You can check for this by looking for a shadercompiler.exe in your Task Manager. If you find it, waiting for the process to finish should allow the game to launch as normal.
