Game no longer launches

Game played fine last night. Woke up this morning and the game does not launch from steam or by double clicking the DX4 file. A command prompt window pops up, steam says running and then it stops.

Having the same issue. I edited the options file to play the intro video. Video played fine. Still locks up before the menu screen opens with a solid black screen.

Having the same issue. Tried reinstalling and restarting. Also checked the integrity of game files. Only happening since the most recent patch for me. Just getting a cmd prompt window on boot then nothing

I'm having the same issue, as is my friend. I verified integrity, reinstalled, deleted everything I could find D:SW related from my computer and then installed clean, and updated my video drivers.

Experiencing this as well. Uninstalled, reinstalled, updated GPU drivers, verified integrity. Nothing has made a difference.
