Game won't launch.

[xoxomonstergirl]

I checked the thread below but it seems I've got a different problem. The game simply won't launch at all. I tried running tropsafe and launching in xp safe mode.

I just bought the game and installed it. I also had trouble launching it. STEAM claimed the game was running, but it was doing nothing at all. Even task Manager did not show anything. Then after about five minutes the game kicked in and ran fine. I guess it's the initial game set-up, but with no popup window to say what is going on. The second time I ran the game, it worked just fine.

To sendingsignal, Have you tried lauching the game as an Administrator. Never had this with Tropico but had it with other older games.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but has anyone got a solution to this?
I'm trying to launch the game, and steam briefly says 'In game - Tropico' then back to 'Online' within a few seconds.
I've tried running as admin, tried compatibility mode for XP, even tried Win98 mode lol.

Basic spec...
Windows 7 X64
AMD FX-8350
Radeon HD7970 3Gb
16Gb RAM
Samsung 840 Pro SSD

didn't work. did "nothing", as described above. (exe was running but didn't actually do anything.)

under compatibility settings...
compatibility mode: win xp SP3
disable desktop composition
run as administrator

then it worked.
