medievel 2 on Steam wont start up

[Discoduck]

my medievel 2 and kingdoms has stopped loading up on steam, it has loaded up because ive played nearly 10 hours on both of them combined,
now the launcher wont load up , the box around your profile avatar goes green for about 2 seconds then goes back to blue,

ive verified the game cache and that has not helped

any help would be nice

Have you tried deleting the clientregistry.blob in the Steam directory?

Have you updated any divers or changed any hardware since the last time it worked?

ive put a new graphics card, in but my other total war games run fine.

ive deleted the client but still it doesnt load up

[irishron]

delete the medieval2.preferences.cfg. Start a new campaign and it will generate a new one.

The other member with 8.1 said he had an update this morning, tried it, and it worked.

Did you get an update and try it afterwards?
