Game crashed a few seconds after starting with the error about needing to verify integrity of files

[gamadar]

Started a game earlier(match id 30691244) and it crashed with this error a few seconds after the round started (was on the line heading into lane).

Also, I was unable to verify the integrity of the game afterwards in Steam so I had to uninstall and reinstall to get the game to open up again.

And it looks the game banned me from playing for a little bit.

Exact same thing happened to me - was playing the match, got into lane, about 500 souls in, then crashed, verifying told me "all files verified successfully", try to reconnect, have the error repeat like 4 times, crashing in main menu with the verify error, now I gotta eat the 6h matchmaking ban (Similar issue already got me the 2h ban)

After randomly applying fixes, my new go to is to play a full priv bot match before going into a normal match. If I crash, it doesn't cause any abandon penalties. NOT the co-op bot queue, specifically a solo private bot match.

This just happened again now, but a few minutes into the game. I'm being forced to uninstall/reinstall as attempting to verify the files via steam just gets stuck. Odds are by the time I get back into the game it'll punish me as a leaver. I don't mind the crashes as this is a playtest, but it's frustrating to be *punished* when the game crashes versus people who legitimately leave.

Great, now I've been banned for 6 hours.
