Kalypso Launcher doesn't launch

[CheddarHead]

I've been playing the game on my desktop without issues. Recently, I bought a laptop and installed the game on that as well. When I attempt to launch the game it'll bring up the little Steam window briefly saying it's starting the game, but when that window closes, nothing happens. Checking the task manager shows no launcher or game running. When I launch the game from the library where I can see the game listing, it'll say that it's running for a second or two, then it will show 100% for a second and then the listing will return to normal.

The laptop meets minimum specs, and the drivers are updated. The game still runs fine on my desktop. I downloaded and run a couple of other games on the laptop as a test, and they work fine. Any ideas why the Kalypso launcher is failing to launch?

Hi @CheddarHead thanks for reaching out to us! 🙂

Did you try to verify your Game Files via Steam? (right-click on Railway Empire 2, properties, installed files, verify integrity of game files)
Are you able to launch the application by directly executing the KalypsoLauncher.exe or RailwayEmpire2.exe (right-click on Railway Empire 2, Manage, browse local files)?

If this does not help, we would appreciate if you could send us further information (Game-Version, System-Details/DxDiag) to our support ([e-mail]) so we can investigate.

Thank you!
