Halo Wars 2 crashing after recent update (PC)

As the title says, after the huge 9GB update I can no longer open my game. The ‘Halo’ splash-screen pops up and then the game crashes after about 5 seconds or so. I have also tried opening the game through the Halo app on the Windows store but still no success.
Anyone else having this problem?

I’ve seen another post about this as well. I personally haven’t had any issue, but have you tried uninstalling and re-installing the game to see if maybe it’s a filing error? Anytime there’s a patch or something and the game breaks that’s usually what happened.

uninstall and reinstall the game that did work for me and couple other ppl to good luck
