Game not starting
I just bought The Baconing of off the Mozzila bundle and I got the Steam key for it. The problem is that after I installed it and tried to run the game, it didn't want to start. It just tells me that it's preparing the game like it does with every game that one would play on Steam, but it never starts. I tried to uninstalled and reinstall incase there was corrupt files, but it still didn't work. I also thought that it might've been the fact that I got it off of Mozzila, but I still downloaded it off of Steam. Is anyone else having said issues?

Yea I'm also having the same issues. I tried changing the compatibility to Windows XP (Service Pack 3) but that had no effect. I read somewhere that alt-tabbing can also do that to a game but not once had I ever alt-tabbed when starting this game. I have honestly no idea what to do now to start this game, which is a pity since I was looking forward to this game in the humble bundle sale.

*I just got the game running by changing my desktop resolution. Originally it was 1920 x 1080 but once I changed it to 1280 x 720, it works. So try changing your desktop resolution before starting the game, it might work. Once it does start up, you can then change the in-game resolution to match whatever desktop resolution you want. Now you aren't forced to change your desktop resolution whenever you start up the game.

Alright, I'll try that and post again on this, thanks for the tip~

Update: Sadly it didn't work for me. What it does is when I open it, it'll say "Preparing files for The Baconing" Like it does for all Steam games, but after that little box closes my cursor is telling me that something is loading, but after a while it stops and nothing comes up.

Yeah, just like the Deathspank games, it doesn't work.

I also have this issue and changing the resolution like the above person suggested did not work. :( I'm running Windows 8.1.
