I've used this game on windows 7 pro and ultimate both and it worked fine. It could be missing files or have corrupt files so try verify game files by right click on game in steam and goto properties. Also search the post like I suggested because you may find an easy fix there.

Ive done a ton of searching and it seems everyone whos had my problem all have it on windows 10 and ive already verified the game twice =/ Im kinda at wits end at this point as to what i can do to get it running.

Hey, just in case someone else is having this issue on Windows 10 and happens to stumble on this thread.

When installing the Media Feature Pack you need to ensure you are installing the latest one available for your exact version of Windows 10. I installed an outdated one by mistake which lead to the game failing to start up with an error dialog saying "The latest version of windows media player could not be found", and a couple of stressful evenings spent Googling the issue and trying to install various other versions of the Media Feature Pack with no success.

To find out what your version of Windows 10 is go in your Windows 10 "Settings" -> "System" -> "About". Take note of the number under "Version". Then look up the Windows 10 Media Feature Pack for that exact version number and edition (N, KN etc).

For example, my Windows 10 turned out to be edition N version 1703, for which the only correct Media pack to install (as of June 2017) is KB3133719, not KB3010081.

I could finally play the game after taking the time to lookup the correct version, and I hope others find my experience useful.
