Unable to launch Amnesia: The Dark Descent

[Cdub]

This looks like a Steam issue. Either way, you can run the game manually if you want. Go to the the steamapps folder and start Amnesia.exe or Launcher.exe if you want to change settings etc. If everything works out, make a sortcut, no need to use steam.

Thanks for the reply. Well, when i attempt to launch either Amnesia.exe or Launcher.exe, i receive a windows alert saying it failed.

"Amnesia.exe - Application Error"
"The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150002). Click on OK to Terminate the application."
