Game does not start

[pndrev]

Launching from Steam or directly, the game fails to start. Already disabled AntiVir, tried Admin account etc...

EventViewer says files are missing:

Solved. XNA4 Redist had to be installed manually.

Please add a prerequisites check or let Steam do that (I've seen Steam install frameworks before). Quick solution, though, thanks!

This is being done, but in ~0.1 % of cases Steam botches the prerequisite check + installations causing this issue!

I'm a bit reluctant to have the game start via a launcher for this reason alone (I'm fairly sure this error gets thrown before any program code is run, seeing as there's no stack trace), and sadly Valve seems to think it's too rare to bother with the installation bug themselves.

Anyways, glad you got it running!
