I have tried pretty much everything others have said, and nothing...starts to launch, circle curser appears, screen blacks out and I am back at Steam.

When?

On god, it doesn't even launch. It just shows a black screen while a command prompt in the background kicks off 1000 error messages. I've verified the cache, installed on multiple drives, etc, and it still refuses to launch. Is this because GFWL shut down? If so, I'm calling bulls- and claiming fraud. I bought the game. I should be in working condition. It is not. Shame on the devs for no end of life plan....

this has been sorted now dont comment on this page

i want to restart my progress
