Hi there!
We've noticed some players have had issues with the auto-start feature so we've taken some time from working on the upcoming update to fix it!
This fix is only available on the beta branch for now, we'll push it on the main branch in a few days if it hasn't broken anything!

FIXES:

• Steam will not pester you anymore to reinstall the game when it's been uninstalled with auto-start still enabled.
• This should not affect any active player, only players who have uninstalled the game. Please let us know if you've noticed anything different!

KNOWN ISSUES:

• If you're currently having the problem, it won't be fixed until you reinstall the game. Please either reinstall the game or delete the shortcut created in the startup folder.
• You can press Windows + R and type "shell:startup" to access the startup folder quickly.

That's all! Thank you for playing and thank you for your patience if you've been having this issue.
