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.

    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.
