Ive had a splash screen problem for almost a year and I tried nearly every fix possible. I then unistalled chrome, ran ccleaner, and went to regedit and pressed control+F and typed in "Chrome" and then deleted any traces I found. It worked! IT WORKS! ;_;

i am a player just like you and you dont have todo any of the suggestions
i love the game and soon have spend 1000hours in it ,and notice that other have trouble with the game

a standard post msg that try cover the basic to many post each day that have diffrent issue
from the lowest gear pc to highest and other addware or virus to firewall/antivirus program that not allowed list so the game dont play
--------------------------
verify game cache content is a most.
right click on the game - Properties
from Local files tab and click the Verify integrity of game.

with no computer spec information, either you have it or not ( could allso tell you why if you missing something )
Can your computer run that game?
http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri

allso read first topic in game forum ( CA Dev information ) the real support....
http://steamcommunity.com/app/34330/discussions/0/864947668143585653/

try the new addware cleaner some say it can fix it...
more and more can confirm that it seem to work
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/

gfx card driver and win system its a most today...
pc is uptodate ? (windows update )

(check video card driver through steam) should work with the right homepage for your card
in top left menu steam menu – check for video driver updates ( look for auto update apps if such is made, if you dont know what todo )

game use adobe flash so that is allso need updated...

allso mortherboard or if its a named pc that homepage can allso have many drivers
but do make system point backup so you can restore to current drivers state as they are now...

do remember to use normal mode after test, its for test only to see if program runs now... its not a recommend mode as other security or service is not running

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this last step is for pc that has slow system and filled with junk files that need a cleansing
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
((( there are still other apps that can fix pc and program tools.. but should only be tryed then you really want to give it a go, its not mentions as first choise because it can allso create more problems
system point backup is a most so you can roll back to before this state, if you not doing this a reinstall windows can be the only solutions to get back to normal)))

Warning Warning Warning...., with no restore point if it goes wrong
professonal tools, and know howtodo. and can restore system is a most, if it make it even worse then before trying repair the system

Ccleaner and allso remember repair registration ( rep and remove junk files so windows system can respond better )
https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download

Auslogics Registry Cleaner ( another registration tools fix see way more then ccleaner )
http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/registry-cleaner/

Warning Warning Warning, with no restore point if it goes wrong
professonal tools, and know how to do and can restore system is a most if it make it even worse then before

many have units that is update through mortherboard drivers or name pc homepage they are default and working as best choise of the product
but its allso have been notice that onboard lan,souund and other internal units have update drivers and it do work for the most of the people, but here is the problem it have not been verify by mortherboard or named pc homepage as best drivers so that can create more problem ....do make system point backup if not , you will crash and burn if the drivers make more odd bugs to the system

warning – backup system files
many have intel device at motherboard
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/

warning – backup system files
can find many drivers from netcard drivers to sound and other usb and more
Driver Booster 2 Free

just because i have no problem with all those apps on 3 pc does not mean you will not get all fixed this goes special with iobit find drivers....you most know you computer well so you can see if its stable with the new drivers....

this is 100% working. download cccleaner and adwcleaner and scan then clean them up with adwclean. for ccleaner go to registry scan for problems. press fix all issues then launch then it works
silverdood Dec 24, 2014 @ 8:39pm 
I tried everything on here. every single thing and my game will not start what in the world is going on I feel robbed no one at sega is helping and I know I cant get a refund and this thing will not fix any other ideas

I'm having this isssue too, after just having bought the game with a beefy computer. No need for specs really, it blows whatever this wants out of the water.

Anyway, I have a feeling it's some sort of Video Codec issue or something. I'll go through some steps and see what happens.

Edit: Yep, at least for me what's happening is it's just not loading the beginning video for like 5 minutes. After waiting for a while it'll get past it. Hopefully the error doesn't persist into any random cutscenes in game.

Iceira Dec 25, 2014 @ 10:59am 
@silverdood
yeah but try see it from our side , we are many players here, and only some bother to read forum so rest on the game forum is people with problems or looking for info or a teammate

and then you have seen/read ur info , you dont give any info, but you can allso try TW forum maybe they can help you,

have you even done the step i mention or as first topic says ? you dont even bother reply on that

and i know u said you done first topic, and what about i wrote / mentions

and computer spec is a info so we can see, yeap you got it and it should run fine...if alldrivers is up to date...i have seen many how says i have it.. but infact they dont have a clue on anything at all , and dont no anything,, they think just because windows update is up to date then all is fine....its not...

and if you dont follow my guide in check each step by step then you will be lost there forever...
driver is importen and can fix alot but can allso add odd behavier there is allways somebody that can get this but its rare ...

feel free to contact support as first topic its ca at tw forum problem, we others are only players that try help you

another way to understand this... in other old games i had then they dont work... i wrote to support they all says make dxdiag or msinfo32... thats is a information from the system and in most case they say please update that driver at www.###.com so thats how we did in the old days but many games back they allso need a patch and was typical the problem...
but most steam game is auto uptodate... so we are still at your drivers is maybe not updated by the mortherboard or name pc model...and the graphic drivers...so please verify what you have done or ask for help...we cant mind read or know what have you done
