Game won't launch

[Secular]

I bought the game earlier tonight and when I hit the play button is says "running" for about a second, then goes back to nothing. I do not get a new window, or "preparing to run" pop up. Just nothing.

I've run a file validation and it says everything is fine. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, then run another validation and still the exact same thing. Any help would appreciated, otherwise I'm just going to have to refund it.

Update direct X files via windows update. 9/10 will fix it.

Apparantly i needed to install windows media player package. Also, i apparantly didn't have windows media player, which seems wierd.

[AchiLLes]

Nope it doesnt start at all. i tried everything and nothing worked till now. i could play it in the alpha but since the newest updates, they screwed it totally!

Will hotfix this soon, tonight.

Should it be fixed already? Because i still have the same problem... Also checked DirectX, its up to date

I am also having this same issue and I checked both DirectX and windows media player both updated and the game won't start very frustrating was really looking forward to this game :(

Try restarting Steam and/or your computer.

I'm having the same issues, worked great on beta now it just fires up for a second then nothing. Restarted steam and my computer and reinstalled. No idea what the issue is.

Have you tried the following?:
- open the game folder then find the "d3dcompiler_46.dll" - make a copy of it and rename it to "d3dcompiler_47.dll", and place it into the game's folder.

I got it to work! Changing it to d3dcompiler_47.dll made it work thank you!

This does not work for me.

I'm having the exact same problem where I hit play, it says "running" for half and second and then nothing.

When i launch the application manually in the steam folder i get this notice : "Warhammer_x64_11.exe - Entry point Not Found: The procedure entry point LeaveCriticalSection could not be located in the dynamic link library api-ms-win-core-synch-l1-2-0.dll".
I couldnt find any solution on the internet, so maybe you guys can tell me whats going on

SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Warhammer 40,000 Inquisitor - Martyr\InstallUtils

Install literally everything there.

I posted this in another thread, but this one has a dev comment, so I wanted to try to get maximum visibility. Apologies if this is a bad idea.

I am having a similar issue. Running the .exe in the Inquisitor - Martyr folder throws an error stating WMVCore.dll is missing. I do not see the error in Steam.

I have tried installing the Windows Media Player as suggested elsewhere.
I have tried reinstalling the game.
I have tried installing everything in ../Warhammer 40,000 Inquisitor - Martyr\InstallUtils.
I have Checked the drivers for my graphics card.
I have confirmed my graphics card can handle DX11.
I have rebooted several times.
I can confirm my PC should be capable to run this game.
I renamed the d3dcompiler_46.dll to 47, then back to 46.

I am out of ideas. I do not want to have to return this game as I have been looking forward to it for awhile now.
