Load up Warhammer 1 or 2 or Atilla and the launch icon appears on the taskbar for about a second before disappearing. I am unable to play any Total War games that uses the launcher. I have 176hours on Warhammer 2 on my computer so I know I can run the game, just one day it stopped working.



I have tried:

1) Deleting and reinstalling the game

2) Deleting and reinstalling steam

3) Removing all mods

4) Opening Steam as Administrator. From the top menu selecting Steam>Settings>Downloads>Steam Library Folders. Selecting the folder containing the game installation, right-click, and selecting Repair Library Folder.

5)Repair/reinstall all FIVE of the redistributables (run as administrator)

Total War WARHAMMER\_CommonRedist\DirectX\Jun2010\DXSETUP.exe

Total War WARHAMMER\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2010\vcredist_x64.exe

Total War WARHAMMER\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2010\vcredist_x86.exe

Total War WARHAMMER\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2013\vcredist_x64.exe

Total War WARHAMMER\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2013\vcredist_x86.exe

6) Running Steam in offline mode

7) Finding 'The Creative Assembly' Folder opening 'Warhammer Folder' opening 'Logs' Folder and deleting 'modified.log', opening 'Scripts' Folder and deleting 'preferences.script.txt'

8) Reinstalling graphics driver



None of these steps seem to work for me, the other thing I can think of is reinstalling windows and I really don't want to do that.
