The game launch normally wothout special k, but if i start the game from special k it takes forever to boot. I use latest version 25.4.10.3 and the game is from gamepass. I used previously same version with ac shadows and had not this weird delayed game launch issue
i can’t reproduce that on my end with that game. i have the epic games store version fwiw.
and i’ve not seen anyone else reporting a launch delay with this game using sk. maybe something else you have running is causing a conflict with sk.
also, i’d suggest updating to the latest version of sk (which is sk 25.4.30 as of this message) and reset your sk config for the game.
