The game doesn’t open, epic games just says ‘running’ but nothing comes up but I see it in task manager.  
I have tried most of the common fixes like disabling antivirus, verifying files, restating pc, reinstalling the game, reinstalling epic games etc but nothing seems to work.

Well, It is the same as last time, I just refunded the game, not going to spend time trouble shooting this game.

I have found a fix that works for me. Change the properties of the .exe to match these settings:

The two .exe are in  
C:\Program Files\Epic Games\GoatSimulator3  
C:\Program Files\Epic Games\GoatSimulator3\Goat2\Binaries\Win64

This fix worked for me, thank you.

Edit: Now I get an error code when the game loads, “Login failed with error: EOS\_INVALIDAUTH”

Edit2: Went into settings and linked epic games account and no longer get the error upon launching.
