I'm having a problem getting the program to start. I haven't played in a long while but it did previously start. Since then, I upgraded to windows 10 and when I tried to start the game, it updated steam and the game (so I'm not sure if one of these may have caused the problem)
However, when I press play, nothing happens. The program appears in task manager for a few seconds, then disappears. Afterwards, pressing play leads to the program appearing in task manager and almost immediately disappearing. Note that during the time it is in task manager, 127 mb are used of memory, but no cpu usage and no disk usage.
I have tried the following: Reinstalled the game, renamed the folder in my games, changed compatibility settings, updated graphics driver, checked that path contains system32, fiddled with the compatibility settings, disabled anti-virus
Of note, every time I do validate on the local files, 7 files are invalid and need to be re-downloaded.
Here is my debug.err:
