Launch Crash with brand new systm

Skylake build with R9 380 Start Up Crash

Posted on Thursday, December 3, 2015

This week I built a new system: Intel Skylake i5 6600, Asus Z170-A MB, 16GB HyperX Ram, Radeon R9 380 graphics card, and a 240GB M.2 Kingston Predator chip to run Windows 10 and a select portion of Steam games.  I added a 480GB Intel SSD for media files and larger Steam games.  I installed GalCiv 3 on the Intel SSD FYI - the other 2 games, Civ5 and Civ Beyond Earth are on the 240GB M.2 drive. 

When launching on Steam, the game loading screen appears for about 7 to 10 seconds, then it kicks back to the desktop.  Civ 5 and Beyond Earth successfully launch. 

Is anyone else having this issue?  Is it because I told Steam to install the GalCiv 3 game on the non-system disk?  The path of that game is: D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Galactic Civilizations III

Thank you GalCiv community.  Let me know if I missed any important details.
