I recently purchased DoW gold on the Steam sale. The game wont launch. I either get an error message saying it cant find the path for the graphics utility or it just goes back to desktop. My machine is low end but should run the game easily. I have an E4500, 9800GT,
Vista, and 3gb of ram. It is a desktop.
I tried verifying the local game files and it said it found one error and was downloading a replacement. However, after that was done, I still had the same problem. So I deleted the entire local game content and redownloaded the game. Same problem. So I reverified the files, it said it found an error and redownloaded the file. Now it says no error when I verify the files, but the game still wont launch.
Can anybody help with this problem? Doesnt seem like it should be a problem to launch such an old game. I guess I can contact Steam support, but I am hoping someone on these forums may have had a similar problem and knows how to fix it. My previous experiences with Steam support also have not be very helpful, but I wont get started on that.
I also bought DOW II and it runs fine.
