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.

Looking at the community page there are definitely other people with the same or similar issues. No unique solutions though. Just the things I've already tried (which I list in a different comment).

This is so depressing.

Monitor is plugged into graphics card.

For those playing at home I have uninstalled, reinstalled, verified integrity of files, tried all combinations of running steam and dishonored as admin, there are no events in the event viewer, I have disabled onboard graphics, I tried running it off of a different hard drive, I tried starting it in windowed mode, I've tried compatibility modes for win 7 and 8, I've updated my graphics card driver, and there are no windows updates to apply.

I'm basically out of options over here. Looks like I don't get to play this game.

I will check out that event viewer. I had verified the game files though yes.

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.

Tin foil hat stuff though: what if they intend to pay moderators they hold on thrall, but they need to get rid of the current ones first.

I just lost a streak of 250+ yesterday on wordle :(.

I was really excited about this, but it ultimately bummed me out. It feels like the early 2000s all over. Artists that started out hungry and individual have made it and are just phoning it in on cash grab features. Production value is high, and innovation is low.

Very good point about the 2A hypocrisy.

Hopping on your post to proselytize on behalf of The Looker. It's free and it's wonderful. It is also a spoof of sorts of The Witness.

Loss is nothing else but change, and change is nature's delight.
