Did the launcher started? So, nothing happens with the launcher. It just does not start. Right? When you double click it do you see anything? In task manager is launcher.exe running?
The mouse gets the little loading circle next to it, but in the task manager nothing happens and then the loading circle disappears and nothing happened.

Maybe some system files are corrupted. Open a command prompt with administrator rights and enter sfc /scannow before hitting enter. Wait for it and check then if the game can run. It may ask you for a reboot or something. Are you sure you are virus clean?

Yes completely virus free and the scan showed no problems

I opened the file and it seems just fine. What file manager? Right click the file > Open With and select Notepad. It should open just fine.

In your windows there's a button above the files when i click launcher.exe and then above the files the button "open" it gives me the couldn't load main_init.cfg error.
And I mean that the contents inside the main_init.cfg file are wrong, i know how to open.

That happens to me too. This Open things does not work. Just double click the file and do not press the button Open. Double click instead. Your file is just fine.

Lol, the problem is that the launcher.exe doesn't even start up it does nothing. And amnesia.exe shows a black screen followed by a black box error.
Nothing has changed
Strange, when i disable the drivers for my graphic card the launcher works but i still get the same error when trying to launch the game

When you disable them? What do you mean? Do you by any chance have another embedded/integrated graphics card like Intel for example? When the launcher started, what graphics card did it show?
