There is a serious problem with this game. The developer has no clue why it won't start for many people. They give the same generic troubleshooting tips but the results are the same. There is an inherent problem with this game. I've tried all the things around this forum and the game simply won't start. I got this on a recent humble bundle and if I could, I'd get a refund. Out of the hundreds of games I own, this is literally the only game I cannot get to start. I suspect it has something to do with the parasite Denuvo. Garbage. Will never buy software from this publisher/developer in the future.

Good to know that DENUVO is stopping valid customers from playing.
I marked this game as "Not Interested". (Simply because of how DENUVO works against paying customers, and that I do not want to buy a game that I will not be able to play once Denuvo goes out of business.)

I had the same problem ... after applying all the tricks I found on the net , the game does not start.
Funny thing : i downloaded crack and the game runs with it normally...

its not the game, its not the publisher.....and its not denuvo (usually yes, but not this time!)

IT´S YOU PEOPLE who obviously DIDN´T EVERYTHING

....so how about CLEARING YOUR DOWNLOAD CACHE !?!?

I got the same problem today and right after i cleared the cownload cache, as well as restarting my rig, the game runs fine again.

...and yet that isn't working for the rest of us.

I bought the game recently and installed today and tried starting it, it just won't start. Ended up in this thread, and verify files & other methods didn't give results. Tried launching the game exe directly from the installed folder and it gave me a MSVCPP110.dll file missing message. Installed the VC redist (http://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/confirmation.aspx?id=30679) and voila, game launches all fine now. Hope this helps for anyone still looking for a solution.

I've been trying to get this game to run for YEARS. Came back today giving it another college try. Tried verifying the files and clearing my download cache. Neither worked. With Steam's new UI update, finding the Exe got harder (either I'm inept and can't find it or they hid it somewhere. No promises which.) On a whim, I downloaded the file you linked. Setup was a breeze and it works as intended. In 2023 that's almost a miracle. Thank you SO much!

This is indeed the issue at my side.

Care to be taken as the C++ redistrutable needed my differ depending on your system and year of downloading.
just check in Microsoft page for the version containing that missing files and reinstall, don't repair. :cozybethesda:

Thank you so much! I too have tried to get this to run for years, and given up over and over. Having a new computer, I got it again at a GOG sale, and decided to give it another try. This solution should be linked both here on Steam and on GOG.
