Not starting up

[Momo42069]

When i start up the game, it doesnt even want to start

[PampaZapped]

Hopefully

[TiBone89]

Maybe, but it could take some days. Sonic forces released today and you can wait 13 days for a patch and refund if it's still not working.

[PampaZapped]

Yikes, I really want my pre order bonus.

[TiBone89]

I added the bonus dlc manually to my account. The DLCs were listed for free in the DLC section.

[Tinuch]

for me it opens up in a window which remains black

[Atara]

Gosh, I can't even set the big window, it doesn't even start, it's all black and I can onl hear the music. How can I download that patch?

[TiBone89]

I recorded the first level, so the game can work. The fps are in the upper right corner of the vid.

i'm not the best with finding items within files.. is the item i have to delete in the open, or which file is it located in? i don't want to accidentally delete something that i need.

once i get to the "SonicForces" file, i have four optional files to search through:
_CommonRedist
build
image
savedata

as i have no saves yet, there's nothing in the savedata folder

going through image takes me to x64 > disk
then it gives me five CPK files, two of which appear to be for dlcs, one of which appears to be for "patch," and the final two being _0 and _1

from build we go through main > projects > exec
in this folder i have the game application itself and steam_api64.dll, which is an extention

_CommonRedist gives me two paths
> DirectX
> vcredist

vcredist has less files
> 2013
installscript.vdf
vcredist_x64
vcredist_x86

DirectX is much longer
I genuinely don't want to type out all of these files
however, because I have WinRAR installed on my computer, and all of these files have been converted to WinRAR files, I'm going to assume they were once zipped files
only files that were any different involved DirectX setup and updates
otherwise the files are all listed with dates as file names (eg OCT2006_XACT_x86)

if i'm missing something please help. i'd really like to get to play this game finally.
