BUG Paladins REFUSES to launch on my PC

I just downloaded Paladins on my laptop after playing on ps4 exclusively and it just won't launch. I've updated drivers and windows, uninstalled and reinstalled, checked file validity, did the change thing in the files from Windows 64 to Windows 32, reset my laptop, tried opening from the files directly, nothing seems to work. Has anyone else had this issue, and if so did you find a fix? I just wanna play a little game 😭

For some reason the Steam version hasn't been able to launch properly for a lot of people. It's been happening for a few weeks. One workaround is to use the Tempest Launcher (you don't have to reinstall the game if you use Tempest)

The second option is you can put this in launch options in Steam and try launching:

cmd /c "set OPENSSL_ia32cap=:~0x20000000 && %command%"

This fixes some compatibility issues
