game won't start

[[GNU] Bob]

Has anybody solved the problem, that the game doesn't start? Or am I the only one who has that problem?
When I click play a window with the title "Rome [...] Options" opens but doesn't show any content. It is just see-through.

I was really looking forward to play this game. Waiting for weeks after pre-ordering. And now i am kinda disappointed.

i bought on hype for windows 7, they only later released windows 10 as a minium requirement. I don't want a refund I want to play this flipping game. Game shouldnt be locked to windows 10

im not the biggest tech wiz so can some one explain why some people with the requirements are at the moment playing the game and some are having this launcher problem.

They locked in to a specific Operating System. The reason people are mad, is because if they wanted to (and put some work in) , they could 100% make it work for older versions of Windows, as well as Linux.
We're talking about a remaster of a game from 2004 which has stricter requirements in some aspects than newly released games (such as Doom Eternal). There is no reason whatsoever to lock it to Win10, other than incompetence.
Games like RDR2 had the option to work using Vulkan (which is cross platform), rather than DX12 (which is Win10 only).

actually, directx 12 isn't even win 10 only any more, because blizzard demanded it for WoW to work on win 7.

I'm having a problem starting the game as well, but mine is a little different. My game has been stuck downloading for over an hour now. It gets right up to the end & then just stops, and I can't seem to get it to finish. always stops at 24.06 GB out of 24.12 GB

Itll sort itself out after a few minutes. With or without steam restart (or at least, it did for me).

Have the same issue. Click launch the game and then basically nothing happens.

My thoughts on the total war franchies could not get any lower but you actually did it this time... how can you lock a game to windows 10 and then not clearly specify this... Why do i evan play total war games. Also why would you lock it to windows 10? not everybody have it. Pure greed imo

Hi guys. I have got my game to work, I lowered my resolution to 1920*1080 and set my scaling to 100%. That allowed the game to start, it just takes one minute or so to enter the game. While in-game I set the games graphics options to 4k and scaled the ui, I exited the game, changed my resolution back to 4k and 300% scaling and started the game again.

It takes a some time to start but it works now, hopefully it works for you as well

I can not understand, how this keeps happening? Surely they have had many testers, with all kinds of set ups, who would have reported such issues back to the developers. I mean, that is the definition of being a tester, no?

Yet, this keeps happening. With almost every new game that has just come out. Dissapointing times.
