Overlord 2 not launching

[bigherb119]

i get to the configuration start up page and when i click any of the options, save and play, save , play with default, nothing happens or it just close. i have tried all the steps shown online but nothing. i verified the file, reinstalled it, change the compatibility and nothing. i tried to contact support but it lead me to a page that pretty much told me to read other people feeds or request a refund. i don't want a refund i want this game to work. So if anyone could help that would be great since steam seems to not want to badder with this problem.

Win 10 often has problems with programs that are for Win Vista and Win XP. This is one of those programs. I was experiencing the game launching and then going black screen and locking up my PC. Here is how I fixed it:

1.) Open steam, and find overload on the list.
2.) Right click to open the properties list.
3.) Click the local files tab.
4.) Choose "browse local files" That will open the file browser to your steam directory where the game is actually stored.
5.) Right click on overlord2.exe and select properties.
6.) Click on the Compatibility tab.
7.) Click "Run in compatibility mode"
8.) Select Win XP SP 3
9.) Save properties and close file browser
10.) re-launch Overlord 2 from Steam

Of course, there may be more than one issue that prevents the app from launching properly from Win 10. I can't promise you that this works for you, but it did work for me, and it is a reasonable thing to try. I hope this helps.

This worked for me

After a few years, I found a way to solve this problem: stop backing up onedrive documents folder
