The game won't launch

[KRAT]

I have some launch problems, just bought the game, been trying to make it work since it came out. Does anyone out there know how to fix this?

i found the solution!!! i just pressed on the icon that shows the games playing a few times then it worked!!!!! after that change the resolution to your desire then its a ok!!! you never have to click click click again

Hah, actually worked, thanks. Spam that left mouse button!

PS: Its the "Taskbar" and the "Taskbar Button" for the currently running item (in this case, the game) that he's referring to.

I would never have imagined that spam clicking a taskbar icon would do anything positive for a progam or my pc, yet I am surprised! I was really miffed that nicely trying to start the game was getting me nowhere; about 8 superfast clicks later, the game finally opened. Thank you to whoever stumbled across that "fix"!

I have found the problem! :D tell everyone you can because it's super simple and totally stupid.

(find the PCconfig file under C:Users\*username*\Appdata\Roaming\Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment\Lego The Hobbit)

And, also to everyone who has found succes with "spam-clicking":


I am also having issues with this game. I try to launch the game, the screen goes black for a moment, then it switches to a white windowed screen where a pop up proceeds to tell me the game has stopped working.

I have attempted a few of the above solutions. However, I cannot spam click on the task bar because the game's window covers that area and I seem to be unable to move it out of the way.

I have fixed framerate issues in a few other games by editing config files, and was therefore quite hopeful of this technique. However, I cannot seem to find the <\Roaming\Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment\Lego The Hobbit> part and it's very irritating when files appear to simply not be there.

I have checked the game's cache integrity, and was going to uninstall/reinstall but it seems like that doesn't help very often anyway. I have tried changing my computer's resolution, my computer is in English mode, and none of the other possible options seem very relevant to my situation either.

I hope that someone will be able to help me with a solution. I haven't played a LEGO game since I was a kid, and I'm looking for some nostalgia here!

just spam click the black screen

didn't work for me

[Avakining]

I have a mac, and it doesn't even open.

[Viriato]

Here's what worked for me.
I bought 2 games today : Lego The Hobbit and Lego Marvel Super Heroes.
Everyone was talking about a pcconfig file or a _CommonRedist file and in my case such file didn't exist in my computer.

1. I closed all Steam tasks in the Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+DELETE to open it).
2. I went to the Steam installation folder and opened it as an administrator.
3. I went to the game library and pressed play instead of double clicking the game icon.

After all of this, it did launch, the Resolution is completely off but I will manage to fix it. Changing launch options seems to not work (-w 1920 -h 1080).

I found the game won't run if you have the EPIC launcher open at the same time too.

[Eloiéz]

WTF!!!!
😂
I'm so happy right now... I've tried to get this sh** work all night. Now it's mornin', I found this post and thought: well.. I will spam click the sh** out of the black screen and it really worked 😂😂😂😂.
I would never imagine that spam clicking would help anything in a software

Edit:
Well... I wanted to play again this evening and it just didnt worked again. The spamclick solution isn't working either

It did not work for me but i did instal the latest w10 update (may 2020) and now IT is working for me

[bliss.]

I got mine working by changing the Date/Time of Windows 10 back to an ABC/English format (From Japanese to German) and now it works. For anyone who is using windows in another language that uses another date/time format, it's worth a shot. I got this info from a 2016 thread by the way.

For those who tried everything above, and it didn't work, the problem might be in error 0xc000007b.
When I pressed the launch button and second later, the game closed itself. Then I changed compatibility settings and ran the game as an administrator. I saw this code error and did some diggin
1. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/0xc000007b-error-fix/92f9a9b8-ff58-4489-8833-f0d5437e5d3a
2. None of the steps worked for me cause my .net framework and c++ were fine, but this video with dll files worked like magic (don't forget to delete dupe dll files from achieve if there will be such)
