The game runs but does not open
I just bought the game and I do not know what problem it has. Sample that runs but never opens.

I already run it in administrator mode and check the files and nothing.

Now do all the steps and nothing happens. The rarest thing is that it runs in the background and does not give any error.

Already manage to solve it, delete the folder of the game that was created in documents and then verify the integrity of the files and it works.

Thank you very much for the help.
