Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun startup error on Epic fix

  1. Enable compatibility mode with Windows 8, disable full screen optimizaion
  2. Disable any in-game overlays, for epic it means deleting/renaming some files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Epic Games\Launcher\Portal\Extras\Overlay:
    • EOSOverlayRenderer-Win32-Shipping.exe
    • EOSOverlayRenderer-Win64-Shipping.exe
    • EOSOVH-Win32-Shipping.dll
    • EOSOVH-Win64-Shipping.dll
