Can't start PoE2 - Exception: Failed to initialise

I havent been able to start the game yet, and been trying to troubleshoot this issue for 2 days now.

As I start PoE2 via steam i get this message

Im using Windows 11
And my hardware isn't outdated

I've tried swapping out config settings from D11 to D12 to Vulkan
I've tried windows 11 23/h2 and 24/h2
I've tried reinstalling the game twice
I've tried resetting my graphics drive to an older version and a newer version
I've tried a youtube guide, following all of the steps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlGDG7ueoT0
Including trying compatibility mode windows 7 and windows 8
I've tried moving the game to another SSD and reinstalled in on another SSD



I still get the error message above

Anyone out there who knows what my issue is?

Use packcheck.exe file next to poe.exe file to repair.

This worked for me! Thank you!
This worked - thanks!
Where are you finding the 2 .exe files, I've searched my poe2 folder for both an nothing is there
I can't find the packcheck either, there is nothing named that in the folder.
Did any of you manage to resolve this error? I've been trying all day and I can't fix it.
