Please attach Common.config file from an installation that's failing to start.

This looks like broken installation, try reinstalling or using fresh portable install.

Hi @JosefNemec thanks for replying, I appreciate it :)

This looks like broken installation, try reinstalling or using fresh portable install.

Unfortunately, I have already attempted to reinstall Playnite three times, as well as trying the latest portable install, but unfortunately, the issue persists. Any Ideas?

Apologies @JosefNemec, I'm not very good at english, do you mean the entire Playnite folder? Or all the files from AppData\Local\Playnite : https://send.cm/d/12Ywo
(Unable to upload to github due to size limit)

Thanks. Those files look ok and I can't replicate it (Playnite starts properly for me using those files). Probably some system issue, not much I can do about it I'm afraid and I have no idea what could be causing it.

Btw is it normal Windows 11 install or one of those "lightweight" ones like Atlas or Tiny?

No, It's Win11 Pro, version 21H2 :/

Yeah, gotta live with it ig? The issue seems to affect Playnite only for me, Heroic runs fine but it's far behind Playnite and pretty mid.

Running DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth or sfc /scannow doesn't return any issues, and I'm no windows expert either. Doing a clean installation seems a bit of a stretch. Really wonder what could be causing this.

Thanks for trying ig. Have a good day.

The log you attached would point to something being messed up with Playnite files. That one log error means that PipeEndpoint value is missing from common.config file, which is not the case based on files you attached, so it makes no sense to me. Looks like something is maybe preventing Playnite from reading its files properly. Try installing Playnite into different location maybe.
