Crash on Start up - Steam version

[superdeluxe]

Hello,

Not sure why this is happening, but the last several times I tried to start the game from steam, it crashes (After the selection screen of what DLC you are loading). I also tried to start it using the exe in the folder instead of through stream, and it crashes then too.

Any ideas?

Hi superdeluxe,

Download and run the DirectX (web) installer, if this did not work download and run DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010)
Download and run Visual C++ 2010
Download and run Visual C++ 2010 SP1
When that is done, go to Windows Update and make sure you have downloaded and installed all .NET updates Windows Update gives you

If the game has worked before on this machine, and you haven't just re-installed or upgraded Windows, and the above doesn't help, Try a full clean reinstall:

move any valued save games elsewhere and uninstall the game from within Steam. Then manually delete ALL the CK2 directories from under BOTH the Steam and MyDocuments folders. Now reinstall the game from Steam, and run the Verify just to make sure it all came down properly. Then right-click on both ck2.exe and ck2game.exe and set them to run as the Admin user.
