[FIXED] Game Won't Launch. Please Help.

[sonnata]

I just bought this game and managed to get 8 hours into the game before it stopped working. I will click the play button and it says the game is starting, but ends up doing nothing. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, and restarting steam/my computer. I have a gtx 1070, intel i5-8600k cpu @3.60GHz, and 8 GB of ram. I've googled it and tried everything I could find but nothing works. Thank you for your help.

[sonnata]

How exactly do I do that? The option is never there for me.

If the option isn't there by following the directions then maybe you have a different version and should update to the latest version.

Thank you, but it didn't work for me.

I found a file called dsetup.dll in the game files, and it's listing off a bunch of errors, could this be telling me the issue?

I doubt it, but anything is possible. A guy the other day had an issue with launching the game that ended up being the Steam Client itself and nothing to do with the game since it runs through the Steam Client. After Steam Client was reinstalled his game started to work. It's worth a try.

[sonnata]

If I reinstall steam client, will I have to reinstall my games? Or is there a way to do it without having to reinstall everything? Thank you.

[sonnata]

Okay, I managed to reinstall steam without losing my games and it still doesn't work.

[Seamus]

...are you on 32bit windows?

[sonnata]

no, im on 64

[Seamus]

Odd. Unless you're on vista for some ungodly reason, the game should be working fine.

Do you have other overlays like riva tuner running?

[sonnata]

No, I don't. I don't have any overlays except steam overlay.

[Seamus]

Hell, try disabling the steam overlay too. MGS5 is notorious for not playing nicely with overlays.

You can disable it for individual games, no need to turn it off entirely like I do.

[sonnata]

Still. doesn't launch.

[Seamus]

So, no error message at all when you try to load the game?

[sonnata]

No, no message.
