Game Keeps Crashing, Possibly fixed it?

[Samson]

I had purchased the game in the summer sales but only now installed it and as I was waiting for the game to start all I got was a black screen then I just go back to my dash without any messages popping up or anything else for that matter.

For a few days now I have tried un-installing and re-installing both the game and steam, verify the game files, relocating the game and alt + enter but nothing seems to work.
The funny thing is that The Walking Dead (all the games) work but not this one.
Does anyone know what the problem could be?

POSSIBLE FIX!:
"So for me it seemed to work when I put the speakers for my laptop as the default playback device instead of my headphones.
Headphones are still plugged in but the sound is coming from the laptop, no idea why this worked but it did.
If anyone else has this problem (be laptop or PC who knows) try setting the speakers as default first then open the game."

I actually got it working yesterday but now I have the same problems again, I didn't do anything for it to work and there was nothing new (except my brother wanted to see why the game didn't work, clicked the icon then it suddenly started working he jokes it's because he was there with me)

Follow-up from last comment:
I tried doing something I did yesteday but tought it was minor, when my brother walked in my room I was playing the walking dead and he wanted to hear the game so I switch from my headphones to the speakers in the laptop.
Oddly enough sound was not coming from the game at all even through the headphones so I gave up and stopped playing it, then he asked about wolf among us and wanted to see what happens when I open it and by the miracles of luck it worked.

So for me it seemed to work when I put the speakers for my laptop as the default playback device instead of my headphones.
Headphones are still plugged in but the sound is coming from the laptop, no idea why this worked but it did.
If anyone else has this problem (be laptop or PC who knows) try setting the speakers as default first then open the game.

Best of luck guys.

I played yesterday. This morning, it keeps crashing no matter what I try (admin, no admin, etc etc).

I have no controller so it cannot be that :( I'm clueless. As usual, verifying game integrity is useless as crap lol

Googled the error 0xc0000005... found nothing of any use but... searching randomly, a post on Blizzard forum.. a genius typed the 3 letters... A... V... G.... then it reminded me... to turn off... that ... stupid... AVAST! It instantly worked... and it's not the first time AVAST prevent a game from starting like this.... I should really write a post-it about it and stick it in middle of my screen for the next time it would happen. Other than this, if your game isn't working and it's not the anti-virus, it seems like the controller advice of Jezteri is your best try. It's being mentionned all over the Telltale forum. This and drivers... Good luck yall!

My game continues to crash as well.

Luckily I had played through it years ago, but it still sucks that it keeps on crashing.
