The game doesn't launch

edited November 2013 in Game Support

Hello,

Months ago I played The Walking Dead...no issues.
After finish the game, I uninstall it from my computer.

2 days ago, I bought The Walking Dead 400 days on Steam.
Then I re-install the game...but impossible to launch... Black screen then back to Windows with error message.

For info, I didn't change anything on my computer since I played months ago.

Thank you for your help.

    It didn't run through completely.
    Did you close the support tool yourself or did it close automatically?
    If you closed it yourself, please run it again until it shows "Finished".

    If it closed by itself please run this version instead.

    Please check the properties of the Steam.exe, your Steam icons, and the games .exe files, and disable any compatibility mode settings.
    Sometimes compatibility mode is checked, but is grayed out. Then you have to click on "Change settings for all users" at the bottom to disable the checkbox.
    Afterwards try if the game works.

    If you made absolutely sure, that the method mentioned above didn't work to disable it, you can try disabling it in the registry. Then restart the computer and try running the game again.

  • Hello,

    Steam.exe was XP compatibility mode !
    You found the trick, now it's working.
    Thank you for your help.

    Let's go to play 400 days and probably I will buy Season 2.

    Cheers
