Hi all! This is doing my head in, I've got hold of hitman, but i can't launch the damn thing.

The error coming up is "failed to launch game (unknown error)".

I have uninstalled and re installed the game and had no luck, i have also tried to verify game cache files, running as admin (both game and steam) and i have also made sure it isn't an AV issue.

By the way, I have also tried installing the game with and without physical media, so downloading it from steam and installing from disk ... just to confirm it wasn't a missing/corrupt file or something.

It's doing me in :(
 
drivers are up to date. Nothing flagging up in event viewer either D:

Just installed it on an old amd 5000 and a 460 and it worked straight away! This is a real pain. I even reset all my overclocks :(
 
Yep, every other games is 100% fine be it on steam, origin or anything.

Running out of troubleshooting ideas here. :p
 
Got it on disk, but it installs right on to steam.

But like i said, tried installing both off the disk and downloading from steam.
 
Doesn't even get far enough for me to select any video options =/. The message pops up just after the whole "preparing to launch" after clicking play in steam.

I can't find the DX updater in the files anywhere.
 
I have not, currentley away from my home PC. But i remember when trying to launch the HMA.exe for the game it would come up with an error message aswell. Wondering if this is the issue, as on the PC i'm on now it quite happily starts up from it.

If you do remember, please give me a shout :D

edit: I tried to launch the game from CMD too, just got access denied as soon as i hit enter. Confused much! :)
