List of things that I know have worked for me in the past. --
Run Windows Upate Utility to make sure Windows is up to date - Also Make sure video drivers are updated.

First option is to Verify game Cache.
Next if that didn't help.
Did you try any of these ---- Delete the hidden Attila %AppData% Folder below. - Then verify Game Cache.
It's a hidden folder.
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/show-hidden-files-and-folders-in-windows-vista/

C:\Users\Jerry\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Attila

If you have used Mods in the past did you uninstall them ? If so check the Data folder to see if any remain and have to be manually deleted - Or better yet just delete in Data folder and then verify the games Cache.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Total War Attila\data

Make sure after any of the above actions you verify game Cache and reboot.

If none of the above steps don't work the only other option would be to a complete uninstall/reinstall --
Just make sure you delete the Attila %AppData% folder after you uninstall the game as it stilll may cause a crash. Delete this Data folder -
C:\Users\Jerry\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Attila

then verify games Cache and reboot.


Log Out of Steam and Log back in -
Uninstall Steam and reinstall -
Also If you get a error message, do a seach here and on Google for possible fixes.

I haven't tried this but it worked for a few players.


For those of you having issues with installs on Windows 10, where you run the launcher, hit 'play' and steam doesn't do anything, I've just managed to get it working after a lot of pain and struggle.

The key to fixing mine was the followng...

Step 1. Go to your Attila Directory

e.g: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Total War Attila

Step 2. Right click on the awesomium_process.exe and go to its properties.

Step 3. Under the compatability tab...

- Set compatability mode to Windows 8
- Ensure the 'Disable display scaling on high DPI settings' checkbox is ticked
- Select 'Run this program as administrator'
- Hit Apply.

Step 5. Apply the same changes to the Attila.exe file.

My game now loads correctly after I hit play on the launcher. I've seen similiar solutions posted but I personally haven't seen anyone suggest editing the compatibility settings on the awesomium_process file. Not certain its going to be everyone's fix but it worked for me so I thought I'd post here.

do you have any 3rd party software running ? One guy had a video capture program running and when he shut it off Attila worked fine. I believe it was called FRAPS ?

Thanx for your advise. Step by step manual gave me a clue on how to fix the problem. Running the game as an admin failed, but an error appeared saying than MSVCP100.dll library was missing. Reinstalling the C++ Visual package from the Steam folder itself helped to fix the problem.

Narrowed it down to a mod issue. Uninstalled all mods and it worked. Slowly adding mods back to find the culprit :/

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Reboot your computer
2. Open the folder C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Total War Attila
3. Delete the following files

awesomium text
awesomium.dll
awesomium_process
Attila.dll
Attila.exe

4. Verify game cache and make sure your antivirus and windows firewall is disabled while doing so. Launch the game once it's finished downloading the files.

i delete it 3 times , also find it in appdata and delete too , anything more i can delete ? i also check mod but nothing .......

[whit]

You uninstalled the entire game from the steam library three times..and then after that...deleted both sets of folders...before reinstalling?...and before knowing where the appdata folder was?

What do you meant ? if you know to clean the old pls guide me . i uninstall from steam then go appdata and find attila file and delete it , then reinstall , that what i do , next time i delete data only and vertyfe it but still stuck

[whit]

Well..uninstalling attila from steam..doesn't mean that the folder got deleted from the steam apps common directory because it may still contain old mod files. Un-subscribing from the mods isn't always perfect and may not get rid of all pack files. IF, this is what is happening when you reinstall the game - the old directory is still there and the game just reinstalls back into that old folder with the loose mod pack files. The mod pack files are in the main game directory.

So - ensure once you uninstall the game that you make sure both folder locations are gone
the one found under appdata>roaming>etc
and the one found under steam>steamapps>common

If, this still doesn't fix the problem..I really have no clue..because we can't possibly know the whole situation of how you downloaded the previous mod.

Was it a steamworkshop mod? Or Did you use a mod manager OR? ETC and so on.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Total War Attila\data

You might need to Google that issue to see if anyone has any ideas. Just guessing here but if you totally removed all the Attila folders I think I recall someone in past changed the games language. I can't recall if that was before or after the re-install though. Or maybe your system has a Virus or Adware issues ?


Here is a Google link that talks about the same error message with Shogun - So I would try Googling the Error message for a possible solution.

Oh..and sorry..the pack files are in the data folder not the main directory for the game...
