Help!!! Napoleon not working!!!

Please help, this just happened today after I pressed play and before the game started it said something about Microsoft Visual C+++, After that it got stuck on Napoleon Total War, I pressed ctrl+ alt +delete, task manager and it said it was not responding.

What i did-
I looked at many forums
downloaded Visual C+++ again
downloaded DirectX again
Deleted and reinstalled twice
verified cache many times
looked at roaming folder
____ I never used and mods but i have all the dlc's
Iam stuck, please help, AGH!!!!!!!!!
Oh i have windows 7 64x bit

Try offline mode?
Happened to me today but without the C+++ stuff! Just hung on the starting screen but works in offline?

Opting into the Steam 'beta' fixed the problem for me - you can find that in the Steam settings menu. It made me restart Steam, downloaded the latest beta build, and then the game would load correctly.

I had the exact same issue today as well and changing the steam setting to do beta mitigated it as well. I didn't try going offline.

Yup, my napoleon wasn't working either. Just follow this guide to opt into the steam client beta, and you should be good to go.

Thanks a million!

I initially searched google and ended up on a year old threads.

I now have redownloaden NTW twice, same goes for my videocard drivers etc etc.

Such a simple solution!!

Maddening!

Yes, the wonders of Steam.
