game does not launch

[proph001]

I'm having this same problem Windows 10 with intel/nvidia 1080 gpu. Can click play then the black window opens and closes immediately.

Just wanted to bump this thread as it really helped me out as well.

Had the same issue where I would enter my login details, hit start, then the screen would flash black then nothing. No error message, the game just wouldn't start.

Rolled back my graphics card to471.96 and it works now.

Kind of lame Square has not addressed this at all as it seems to be affecting a lot of people.

This might seem weird but try to disconnect the gamepad when you launch the game, sometimes i get black screen and game is just there frozen and disconnecting the gamepad is what helps.
