Game Not Starting

[GreggyPea]

Hi guys,

Just downloaded CKII onto my new desktop. Minimum requirements all met, etc. Purchased Charlemagne as well and I've gone to start the game only to get the pop up from Steam saying the game is preparing to start which quickly goes and then nothing! As if I haven't even started the game. Doesn't even get to the screen which asks me which mods I wish to use before start up.

Any help?

Cheers,

Greg

Tim is correct, please make sure you have the dependencies installed (most often just DirectX)

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
