Issues unresolved

Game refuses to launch after launcher

There have been many cases where game simply refuses to launch after starting game from launcher. For some users simply reselecting settings[2] and making sure first video- and audio device has been selected if they appear multiple times.[3] For some users nothing works and resolution selection isn't available.[4] Manually adding setting to registery doesn't work as launcher uses checksum and resets settings with every launch.

Notes

  1. When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  2. 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/92000/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (92000) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
