Won't Launch (SOLVED)

[Lord Odin]

I recently got a bug on my pc and had to delete Steam and all my games yesterday :(. Problem is i reinstalled Rome Emperor Edition and now it won't launch, any idea's ?. The other games i reinstalled are ok up to press just Rome. I checked game integrity and it came back fine so i am at a loss what to do next

Go to start and type: %appdata% then go to roaming -> the creative assembly -> delete rome2 folder then run the game again. if it still not launching the game go to steam folder -> steamapps->rome 2 > and find the exe. file and right click on it and properties choocse compability and choose to run it as administrator then click apply then do the same thing to steam run as administrator log off from steam and run it again as administrator and you can go :)

I cant play it also, since i got the new windows10 update my game wont start. The wheel on the mouse starts scrolling but then nothing happens.

I have the same problem. My Rome !! has been down because of it for some time now.

Mine was ok on Windows 10 until yesterday when i had to reinstall my games, like i said the other games i put back all work fine.

Verify game cache and go to %appdata% and delete the folder ON WINDOWS 10 THERE IS HIDDEN FIELS YOU NEED TO SEE THE HIDEN FILES AND DELETE THIS

Deleted it all and trying another install hoping that may fix the problem, i am at 75% atm and will let you know how it goes.

Still the same but i downloaded Shogun 2 and the exact same thing is happening with that too. My favourite games and i can't play them, must be something to do with steam

run as administrator

Disable your antivirus and your windows firewall:
- If your antivirus is running, disable it. Please keep in mind that while your antivirus is turned off your computer is no longer protected against viruses, and browsing the web without the antivirus could potentially harm your computer.
- The same must be done with your windows firewall.
- Launch the game.

Changing language solution:
- Launch Steam
- Go in your game library and find Rome2
- Right click on Total War: Rome 2 in the game list (on your left hand side of the Steam window)
- Select Properties
- Select the language tab
- Change your current language to any other language –French for example-
- Shut down steam and reopen it
- Follow the “Verify Integrity Of Game Cache” again
- Go back to the language setting of Attila as explained above
- Change the language back to English
- Launch the game.

Rename folder solution:
- Open a windows explorer page and copy paste in the top bare the following:
%AppData%\Roaming\The Creative assembly
- Rename the Attila folder with any other name
- Launch the game
- If the issue isn’t solved this way please rename the folder back to Rome2

Verify no mods are installed:
- verify you have no mods FAQ, should help you ensuring no mods are installed. Mods can sometimes generate conflicts with the game itself and cause crashes.
