I recently built a new computer and am going through and playing all the stuff I couldn’t before. I was particularly excited for Dishonored 2, as I loved the first one. Unfortunately when I try to open it in steam it acts like it’s going to launch and then just doesn’t. I’ve uninstalled reinstalled, I’ve tried run as admin, I’ve verified the game files, I’ve ran it in comparability mode, disbled onboard graphics. Nothing.
I know this is an older game at this point, does anyone know of a magic bullet fix for this? It seems like a fairly common issue with no common solution whatsoever.
I’m on windows 10 if that matters.
It goes “Launching” and the green play button turns into a blue cancel button, the title says running in my library list for maybe 4 seconds. Then it flashes “100%” (presumably syncing with cloud or something?), And then the cancel button reverts back to the green play button like nothing happened.
I just tried going down to 1920 x 1080, then 1600 x 1024, no change in behavior. I’ve also installed it a forth time to a third different hard drive, file integrity verified, no dice.
