Game won't start

[Marauder2k9]

Game will not start at all, no message nothing, i tried re-downloading the game, reinstalled all the _CommonRedist files, installed .net framework(4.5 latest was already installed but its always good to try), game just will not start for me at all

[Marauder2k9]

Same problem here. Upon clicking 'Play' steam loads the 'Preparing to launch Fable Anniversary' window, and nothing else happens.

Very last page so far has a few fix ideas, none of which have worked for me but might be worth a try

[TatoGoblin]

I launched the game with steam in offline mode, and it worked fine. Something to try.

I have the same experience as llamaodeath. Plus the exact same thing happns to another game in my library called: Grim Fandango Remasterd.

Tips:
If nothing appears after selecting the game in Steam, try running the .exe file in the local folder.
If it runs there it is a missing Steam.api issue. Verifying the game's cache or simply copying the
file from another game's local folder should fix that.
Hopefully this will work for some.

Unfortunately it did not work for me.
I ended up only getting a pop.up window saying "The program couldn't start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the program."

I don't know how many times I've re-installed this game on differnt locations on my PC. Still no cigar..

Windows update? Who knows. Quite a few people happened to have the same problem but it didn't seem to be the result of the latest patch. Users seemed to be having issues around the same time which made me think it lied on those users' ends.

no i mean update to the actual game?

I was having this issue, i am running windows 10, i ran the executable in the local folder in compatibility mode for windows 7 and it allowed me to launch the game, i hope this is helpful.

It was my anti-virus Bit Defender blocking the application for me.

Yo!!! I think I found the FIX it's because windows 10 type in search Windows defender security center and disable Controlled folder acess make sure game running in administrator mode after.

The Game will work in online mode and ran fine after I did that so it was because windows 10 again that is worst windows ever... Check this fix to see if the game will run it worked for me I'm hyped now at least I got my money's worth now.

Okay so this is what EVENTUALLY worked for me!
So apparantly my "My Documents" automatically saved on to my Onedrive for some reason.. SO what I did was to right click on Onedrive > Settings > Backup > Manage Backup and then uncheck the "Documents" folder. This will let Fable save to your computer rather than the cloud. Now Fable started as normally. And if I wanted my old save files back I could just go to the My Documents folder > My Games > Fable HD and then copy the "Saves" file over to the new "Fable HD" on the new My Documents folder on my local drive.
Hope this helps for others!
