According to the replies to the above tweet, this issue only happens if your game is running twice on the system.
1. End Task in Task Manager
"Go to your task manager and end the task 'bootstrapgame' or something along the lines of that," one Twitter user wrote, "It’s just [your] game running in the background, no need to redownload the game."
