It wont launch for me either. Did you check your antivirus?

[Frogkat]

I figured it out and it turns out that a file was missing that i had to download

Right click on your game in your Steam library, Click Properties, click local files tab, verify your game cache.

First step in any problem on steam. Its only a sub 400mb game written in assembly. not much can go wrong.

I too am in the same boat. It was working a couple weeks ago. I left it for a little while and went to come back this week and now it won't launch. I have done the same, verified files, and uninstall/reinstall, and its still not working.

***FIX ***
Hi guys i asked a friend to have a look at mine and he sorted it in about 5 minutes. All my steam games are running smoothly again.

So I`m going to try explain what he did to my laptop and hopefully somebody who knows more about computers could describe it better .

so the issue is damaged files on your system, steam and your games are ok there is no problems at that end.

I uninstalled my two games that wouldn't load.
if You go to add/remove programs ( from the start menu windows )
you need to find the files called microsoft visuall++ redistributables AND THESE ARE THE FILES THAT NEED REPAIRING.
you can click manage ( or something similar ) and click on repair all files.

done took about 5/10mins , installed RCT and C&C remastered again and ive not had any problems since.

hope this helps, and maybe somebody can explain that a bit better but this is the fix needed :)
