Dracula: Origin not starting

[tjosiahk]

Game will not start at all. Get the "Preparing to launch" Steam message box, then... nothing.

Running Windows 7 64bit. Radeon graphics card. Tried looking for updated drivers etc, but I was already up to date. Tried running in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2 and also SP3, but made no difference.

Any suggestions?

the problem was the latest version of the software physx

Check the bottom of this thread, the developer posted the solution, the problem is caused by nVidia PhysX

I am not seeing any results I am starting to get mad. It is incredible I buy a game and cannot play it. Lets see if steam people is not very bussy to answer my email two days and counting

Did you try to reinstall the Nvidia PhysX as described with the link? Also you can copy the PhysXLoader.dll from "c:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common\" to your installed game folder (usually [steam installation folder]\steamapps\common\Dracula Origin\)

The game also didn't work for me.
I uninstalled my PhysX, installed the suggested version, restarted PC, copied the files and tried with all compatibility options. I'm using Windows 8.1.
Any other suggestions?
