Not Launching game invisible
So I just bought Shovel Knight today and installed it. I go to launch it and it says "ycAssert! src\ycRenderDeviceAngleutil.cpp:106 if(!(NULL)): Can't make contect current" and I click OK. Then this pops up, "ycAssert! src\ycRenderDeviceGL.cpp: 706 if(!(success)):" then I click OK and I hear teh game startup noise but there is no game on my screen. I click the icon in my task bar and all that pops up is a little box in the top left that says Shovel Knight in default windows text and nothing else but my desktop and other programs. https://gyazo.com/e94b20d70ee499f3e87cfb1ac818dec9

Hey there, I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble getting the game started.

To help rule things out:
1) Have you tried verifying the game cache via Steam?
2) Are you running any programs that add overlays to running games? (Evolve, Razer Comm, Discord, etc). If so, try disabling these programs first.
3) Are you able to run the game outside of Steam? Try running ShovelKnight.exe through Steam's "Browse Local Files" button.

Let me know if it would help to provide more detail on any of these steps!

It may be worth trying to update your graphics drivers, can you follow the dxdiag instructions in this post?

The dxdiag will let me see which graphics card you have so I can link to the correct drivers.

Saw a dxdiag in our support email with no other text, guessing that was you? :)

If it was, this should be what you need for your graphics card:

Let me know if this helps!
