A second link with www in it, just in case some can't get to the first link.
As some pc's require the www for websites. And someone told me the link didn't work above.

Like you probably heard me mention before steam/valve don't have experts or good working people in their company. They just do the sales and such to make the money and be done with it minus a few support just enough to satisfy some of the consumers. Too many people has had issues with steam support and such and lots of retaliation was done in response which is why you don't see much of it mentioned so users usually keep it to themselves or strictly between personal chats. They remove evidence fairly quickly like one did some time ago when I tricked him into confessing so to keep themselves looking professional. So basically you just gotta play it by ear and hope for the best.

Yeah I've been banned for helping people before in another game back in february 2013, and when I sent in a ticket for the steam tech support, they told me I should have been nicer, even know I was showing them pics in the ticket of what others were saying. Can you believe that? Banned for helping and being kind to others.

They deleted the comments he made I see.
The mods also deleted my smiley reply in another forum, to a nice person that I knew in there that was supportive. That's really odd that the mods would delete my comment in there that was showing that I cared without the need for words, in that other thread.

I didn't get a chance to read that other guy's comments from in here, as they were deleted before I could see his last comment.

I cannot get this game to launch for the life of me. I've tried all the stuff in the guide on how to fix problems with the game. I've tried running both the game and steam as admin, I've tried running it in compatibility mode with every version of Windows I can. I've uninstalled and reinstalled. I've verified files in Steam. My drivers are all up to date, and at this point the game is so old I don't see why there would still be driver issues with it anyway. Anyone have any clue how I can get this to even run?

Same problem as Espiem. Bought it in summer sale, can't get it to work after trying everything in your guide. It's crazy that this still isn't fixed.

Have you deleted specific folders in steam, as well as the game folder manually before reinstalling it?

Check your windows firewall in the program's acception list.
Also check your router to make sure that when the game first launches, that it is getting access through your one pc or network, the game absolutely wants to know before launching with steam.

Try enable/disable the steam cloud under the game's properties, located in the steam game's library under your game, by right clicking and going to properties, to completely disable the steam cloud for all games, find that at the top of steam and go to the steam options.
When re-installing the game, absolutely make sure there are no files or folders of the game left behind.

It might be a problem with steam itself, files in the steam folder, the only problem is, uninstalling steam while trying to reinstall it, also deletes your games.
Try to find the steam cache folder and delete it, search through the steam folder for other folders and files that shouldn't be there, as well as in the uncommon folder, extras that were meant to be with that specific game, number folders, find out which one is for the game, and delete it, and also you could try uninstalling the game and reinstalling.
If you did want to try uninstalling and then reinstalling, try these steps. -
Uninstall the game, delete any of the game's folder left behind, as well as custom number folders that are located somewhere in the steam folder, for the game, then reinstall transformers: war for cybertron after that, the same thing goes with any other game if you need it fixed.

Don't forget to set your nvidia control panel to "let the 3d application decide", if you have a geforce video card, and for radeon video cards, you will need to find something similar in the radeon's "catalyst control panel". These solutoins are under the guide though, if you read everything, and there are alot more solutions.

Check your physx, make sure it is the latest version, and go to the control panel under add and remove programs, and find out if you have 2 physx programs installed, delete the oldest one, and try reinstalling the latest version, or try installing the older version.. although that won't be compatible with the latest graphics drivers, but that is what you will have to do with old video cards, so expect problems if you have to install the older physx with new video card drivers, but if your video card isn't more than a couple years old, then install the latest physx and video drivers.

Find out if you have all the visual c++ redist downloads, and both versions of the visual c++ 2005 as well, the redist x86 and x64 versions, which means one is for 32 bit, and the other is for 64 bit versions of windows, but you need both for windows with 64 bit, for it to understand both 64 bit and 32 bit games and applications that use the older versions of visual c++ redist.
Those with windows 32 bit only, just need the x86 versions.
You will need both the x86 and x64 versions of all the visual c++ redist downloads in windows 64 bit, shown in the guide.

Also try using the game without the router, plug the modem directly into the pc, and don't forget to disable your antivirus auto protect, as well as any security software, before starting the game, just to be sure, and enable them after you exit the game.
Don't forget to check your quarantine for viruses, maleware, spyware and other things to delete first in your antivirus programs.. before disabling auto protect just to fix compatibility with games.

What version of windows do you have?
List your stats here by going to the top of steam, click system information, drag your mouse acrossed the info and down, right click on the outlined text, click copy, and then click paste in a new comment here, list all the info.

What exactly shows up when the game is launching?
Also is it a custom built pc?
If you can, take a screenshot and send it to your steam screenshot library, with a link to the picture here.
List all your info here by going to the top of steam under help - system information, and list the info in a new comment.

This is pathetic. Like everybody else, nothing works.

EDIT

I launched game exe from folder.

The program can't start because PsyXLoader.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

I downloaded this:
http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/NVIDIA-PhysX-Download-104790.html

Now works.

I mentioned the physx versions to download in a comment above.
Make sure you trust the source before downloading, as physx belongs to nvidia.com, not softpedia.com

That could be the original physx, which should be in the game's folder anyhow, if it's not the original, and it is newer, then the latest version needs to be downloaded from nvidia.com

Do not download from other sources, that's just asking for a virus.
I recommend nvidia.com for the latest version.
As you don't know also if softpedia didn't modify physx, in the code of the program, and that can be a malicious situation if installed, but you should be going to nvidia.com for the latest version anyways, as nvidia owns physx and updates the versions.

Please, SoftPedia is the most popular and known European site for downloading software and they are partners with many software companies.

Other than that, if it works, then alright, but if it's the same as the version that is supposed to be in the game's folder, or newer, then that link shouldn't be used. As there is no need for it.
It should be from an official source anyways, and there are other versions on the nvidia.com website for physx, it is the wisest choice to be safe from the official source. Nvidia is a well known company, that has been around forever, as they created video cards for gaming since I was little, for over 20 years or more, they make the world's most powerful graphics cards known as the geforce of today.

And that's just it, SofPedia is a known european site, one that not everyone uses but maybe a few times, as I've come acrossed it and avoid it for reasons that I find malware on their downloads, that my antivirus blocks, and it's only from that site.
