Game not starting

[Scarecrow]

I can't get the game to start, even the launcher refuses to start. I've successfully run the game on this machine in the past, reinstalled and verified game files. What should I do?

Hey, Zakvadr, have you tried what Scarecrow suggested? I was having issues, even uninstalled-reinstalled as you did, and deleting the scripts folder worked for me....

Now if I can only figure out why the hell my comp freezes whenever I exit the game, or why it uninstalls some files after I play sometimes (it will ask me for my password, and then install saying something like "verifying current installed files) then I will be happy. Some weird glitches in this game when it comes to launching or exiting. BTW those issues existed BEFORE I deleted scripts, so that isnt what caused them...Been like that since Brettonia came out, actually. Before that the game ran , started, and exited flawlessly.

the appdata folder is hidden just so you know if you dont have show hidden folder enabled

Deleting the folder didnt help still reciving app is already running fault

Nothing above worked for me, but this did. All these steps may not be needed, but it is what I did. Also, my saves were fine, I'm assuming because of steam cloud, but if you have a campaign going, you may want to back them up just in case.
1. Uninstall Total War: Warhammer
2. Delete the entire The Creative Assembly folder in Appdata/roaming folder
3. Delete the Total War: Warhammer folder in program files/Steam/Steamapps/common folder
4. Reinstall Total War: Warhammer
5. Exit Steam and restart computer.
6. Login to Steam and Launch Total War: Warhammer.

Hope this helps.

Reinstalling doesnt work because when you Uninstall your "preferences.txt file is still saved: in Winblows its in the hidden "AppData"" folder, in linux itll be in: /home/klotho/.local/share/feral-interactive/Total War Warhammer
Solution is to remove that feral-interactive folder entirely, btw if your running Archlinux you may need the "env" fix, if so feel free to ask me for it :)

What is the arch env fix? Deleted the whole folder so what else must be done?

So I "fixed" the game not starting by enabling beta patches and switching back to normal. Btw it´s not a good idea to link your launchers with google servers. I couldn´t start the game because the launcher doesn´t show up while blocking google connections. Show some love for linux and privacy concered people! You already earned money because we bought your games.
