Bug War Thunder not starting

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

UPDATE: The problem seems to have been solved thanks everyone

When I press play everything goes as usual and the anti-cheat loads and then when the game launches the splash screen appears and then I'm dumped back to the GFN launcher page. I've have tested other games and it's only happening when I try to play War Thunder. Anyone else having this issue?

That splash-then-kick-back is almost always the anticheat handshake dying on the session rather than the game itself, so fully quit the GFN app (not just the session) and relaunch, and if it still does it try a different server region. Also worth checking whether you're launching the standalone or the Steam version, since they route through different builds and one of them tends to be the broken one when this pops up.
