Looks like this was a harbinger of the complete collapse of my gaming PC. Other games are arbitrarily deciding not to launch, and I’m hitting a black screen with blinking cursor on half of my reboots. So now I get the special joy of reformatting and reinstalling windows and everything else, followed by testing my drives and hardware piece by piece until I figure it out.
So not CA’s fault. I just needed to vent for a moment.
