Which version are you using?

You can find this information on the beta's tab of the game properties, where the selection 'none' would be the 25th anniversary edition.

Try selecting the steam_legacy beta.

Not working

Try starting the game with the launch option: -soft

Setting the Launch Option -autoconfig

1. Open Steam and go to the "Library".
   
2. Right-click the game which needs to be reconfigured.
   
3. Select "Properties" from the menu.
   
4. Click the "Set launch options..." button.
   
5. Remove any launch options currently shown.
   
6. Type -soft in the box.
   
7. Close the window.

Report back if the game launches or not, this is not a fix but rather a workaround in bypassing OpenGL with Software Mode.

Very possibly, there have been other games such as Sid Meier's Civilization V that have been having issues launching on Windows 11 lately.

Have you tried launching with the Windows Compatibility Troubleshooter?
