Won't Start

[Sargasm]

I never had any issues playing this game in the past, but all the sudden, I tried to get on the game today, and it acts like it's going to load(preparing to launch from steam) and it goes away. Game just won't start up for me and I have no idea why.

I have the exact same issue. It has never played since I downloaded it for my son.. Please let me know if you figure it out.

Try re-installing the DirectX

[Sargasm]

don't know how to do that
maybe a full game reinstall?

[Dark Hell 9]

do you know how to do verify integrity of game cache?

[Dark Hell 9]

Ok re-install DirectX

i've broke down the process as best as i can

1) Double click the Steam icon on the desktop, when steam is open left click games at the top

2) Click Games Library, you'll see all your games

3) Right click on spintires, a box will show up

4) on the box at the bottom click on properties that brings up a box with 4 options

5) click LOCAL FILES then click Browse Local Files another box comes up with folders and stuff

6) Double left click the folder called _CommonRedist once you done that there will be 2 folders one is called DirectX and the other is vcredist

7) Double left click on the DirectX folder another folder will show up called jun2010

8) Double click onto folder jun2010,when you it you may think bloody hell, but don't be put off ,scroll down till you see DXSETUP

9) Double left Click DXSETUP box will come click yes, then it'll come up welcome to setup for DirectX

10) Click i accept the agreement and click next, then click next again that will start the install process you may get an error, if you do, follow 9 and 10 again, once its installed click finish, see if the game starts.

i tried that on mine and it pops up a screen and immediately goes away...the same thing it has been doing. Any other tips?

Have you checked the integrity of the game cache, also are your graphics Card Drivers up to date. Also what are the specs of your PC or laptop.

[Sargasm]

trying the dxsetup real quick, but already checked integrity of game cache and it was fine

Another possibility is that you may have a corrupt game save or config file?

On Win 7, the game save and config files are normally located in the following

C:\Users\<userid>\AppData\Roaming\SpinTires\

folder.

Delete the game saves first and then try to run SpinTires.
If that does not work then delete all the files under your Users' SpinTires folder, the game should generate new files.

AppData is normally a hidden folder and one method of opening folders under that folder tree is to enter a search for SpinTires e.g. use Windows Explorer and search for SpinTires.

it was a directx issue, multiple games were having difficulting starting

Same thing is happening to me. I've already tried the DirectX and that didn't work, and i don't know how to delete the save file if there is one.

I tried what Gothic Terminator said and it said failed I tried it more then once and it said failed

I deleted the save games and tried to run it and that didn't work ether
