After scouring the internet and learning they have nothing to offer that i haven't tried I figured I'd take it to the forums. I've also tried running as administrator to no avail. I've ammounted a whopping 1 minute in the game trying to do this. I get as far as it saying 'Preparing to launch Skullgirls.' then that goes away and nothing happens. I edited the properties in steam, did the -fullscreen, -windowed, -sw. Tried pressing Alt + E on startup to make it full screen or not when launching, still nothing. Delved in the files to make sure they were all there comparing with a friend who installed same time as me, exact same.
Ran in compatability mode, still nothing.
Fresh install - won't open, restarted steam, still nothing.
just installed the game, never owned it before.
