Hello there fellow gamers
I stumbled upon a problem when I installed Shadow of Mordor from GOG and tried to play it it didn't work well it is visible in task manager but the game doesn't open. I tried reinstalling it and verifying the files but it keeps downloading 118 MB of files however, it does not fix the problem. It just launched in the background (it shows up in processes the first time launching the game but after ending the process in task manager and relaunching it shows up only in details now) waiting for it to open yields no results.

Here are my specs:

Found the probable cause of the game not launching ONEDRIVE was not running and the game files in documents were kept there so the game couldn't access them when Onedrive was off I Hope it helps someone in the future it's not the first time it happens to me I should've thought about it sooner
Thank you for the tips and help
