Verify your game cache / files

• From the Library section, right-click on the game and select Properties from the menu.
  
• Select the Local files tab and click the Verify integrity of game cache... button.
  
• Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes.

and Update all your drivers (use drivebooster)

I did verify game cache and updated all my drivers (several were out of date) but the same error keeps popping up. It also says error 41 from stem.

I have the same problem and I believe the problem is that you don't have a soundcard active, I had all the drivers on my computer active but I didn't have any sound on my laptop since I thought I had a windows 10 problem in audio troubleshooting when in reality I realized that my soundcard was not connected when i checked on my DirectX files. I'm going to get an external sound adaptor and see if the game will run.
