SOMA shows a black screen and then shuts down

[blaine141]

When I launch SOMA from steam or SOMA.exe it opens a black window, steam says I'm in game, then it disappears with no errors and steam says I'm out of game. SOMA_no_steam works but has none of my saves or checkpoints

I just started having issues with SOMA today on just one PC. Since it was last working I inserted a new gtx 1060 3Gb (works on every other game and has latest drivers) and installed many other games such as Skyrim and portal 2 installing lots of c++ dependencies. I may have done more in the past day that I can't remember.

What I have tried so far is reinstalling 2005, 2008, and 2010 c++ and updating to latest graphics drivers. Nothing has changed the situation. When there was no 2010 and I launched from exe I got an error but it went away when I reinstalled it. Running as admin provides no difference.

Let me know any suggestions or requests for more info

I have also reinstalled the game and I did a steam verify of the game files if that is what you mean.

One weird note, My driver says it is for a 1060 6Gb while I have a 3Gb. Figured it isn't an issue as I can find nothing online about it and all my other games run

And thanks for your quick response.

Lol, well it started working again so I am just going to assume it had issues dealing with the sudden gpu and resolution change
