Windows 10 Pro (latest)
Nvidia GTX 780M

Result:
Executable process is running, using between 8M and 24M of memory, but no window opens.

I've been trying for a couple of days now to get this game working. Initially I had one success in getting it to execute and I played for about a half hour. Every time I have since attempted to run the game, the executable starts, but never opens a window or really does anything.
Using the task manager "Analyze wait chain" feature I was able to discover that the executable was waiting for svchost.exe (so a service) and after mapping the PID to the actual threads I found it was the two threads related to the RPCEptManager service, or RPC Endpoint Manager. Ending this task will cause your machine to crash, because it is a core system service.
I am running Windows 10 Pro, latest update, on an Alienware 17. I have updated my XNA to latest, and cannot update my .NET profile as that is now considered a system component.
I have tried running in compatibility mode for multiple previous windows versions and as administrator. I have tried running steam as administrator and uninstalling and then re-installing the game. I have checked the event viewer and found no entries related to this process. I have checked the AppData folder. I have deleted the contents of the AppData folder just in case that would help re-initialize the game.
I hope you can give me some hints. Really would love to play this with my siblings again!
