The game doesn't even start!

[horizonte]

I click in the Steam to play the game, it seems like "running", then "syncing", and when syncing it fails. It doesn't even show a new windows nor go blackscreen. I used to play this game and i play really heavier games than this, I donwloaded XNA Framework 3.1, but couldn't figure out how to play this. Please, someone help me! :)

Edit: I disabled synchronization, but it still doesn't work. I changed options over updates, but it didn't solve the problem.

I could solve the problem after visiting Supergiant Games page. Instructions are here: https://supergiantgames.groovehq.com/knowledge_base/topics/bastion-wont-start

Copypasting:

Bastion won't start!
Please try the following first:

1. Right click Bastion in Steam Library -> Properties
2. Select the 'Betas' tab
3. Select 'legacy' branch

If that doesn't help, please try the following:

Please open the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete and terminate any instances of the game before trying to start it again. Alternatively, simply restart your machine.

Next, try closing any other programs that you have open as it's possible one of them is conflicting with the game.

It's possible that some of your game files were corrupted during the download. Please try "verifying the integrity of your game cache", which will try to detect file corruption and redownload them as needed. Instructions are here:

Next, please try navigating to the game's install directory and run the following files:

dotNetFx35setup.exe
dxwebsetup.exe
xnafx31_redist.msi

Then try running Bastion.exe directly, in Windows XP compatibility mode, and with administrative privileges.

My thing sloved itself. Windows updated. I suppose it was lacking something, or it fixed 'cause I reported it to microsoft.
