This gane will not launch for me whatsoever!
Hi, I bought this game a few weeks ago but for some reason, the game will not start at all. I get no screen popup, no nothing. Why is this happening? I know that my pc exceeds the requirements enough to be playable so i don't understand why the game wont launch! I also tried safe mode and that didn't work either.

Have you updated your Video card drivers recently? if so, roll back to the older drivers.

Try R-clicking the .exe in your steam folder and choose run as administrator. I had an issue with my internet browser changing the default handler for steam apps which caused a similar issue as yours. So, manually running the game exe solved it for me. May or may not in your case but, give it a go.

Have you run Steam's 'Verify integrity of games file'?
Have you ever had it running?

I get an "Another instance is already running error" when I try to run it as an Admin even though that isn't the case.

I'm assuming you hit Cntrl+Alt+Del and opened task manager to confirm there wasn't another instance. Yeah, I've gotten this message before and it was because I had Steam already opened and running. For some reason, part of running a game's procedure call is to run steam. So, since steam was already running, it comes back with that msg. Try without steam running first. If no go, try launching steam and using the 'Play' button on the game from within Steam library.
