Launcher fails to start game

I try to start the game and it crashes without providing an output log, even after waiting for one to appear after 30 mins+. I've moved the file to different places until it shows an output log and it finally showed the exit code 2. I don't know if this error code is because the launcher file was placed in a different drive or anything, however, moving it to a different drive in a specific folder was the only way to obtain an exit code
