Tried deleting the Steam folder at C/ProgramData
dll files with those of somebody else that has been able to play. Tried different resolutions by editing my own VideoSettings.cfg file. cfg file with other people's settings in the required path. Made sure that my graphics card was enabled for this game in the Nvidia Control Pannel. Tried forcing V-Sync and Triple Buffer from the Nvidia Control Pannel. Tried deleting the game from my library and redownloading it altogether, then installing it again. Tried disabling my Anti Virus software when executing or installing the game. Tried verifying the game's cache several times. Tried reinstalling the latest versions of. Tried uninstalling every single version of VC++ redistributable in my computer and then reinstalling just the version from the game folder. Tried reinstalling the latest versions of VC++ redistributable. Tried reinstalling the latest versions of DirectX.
Also uninstalled my GPU altogether and reinstalled it along with the drivers with a clean setup. Made sure that my Nvidia drivers were the latest version (344.11, as of this writing). Tried to run the game in Steam offline mode or with my internet unplugged (this seems to work for a lot of people that can't launch it while online, but it didn't fix anything for me). I know some of these have worked for some people, even though they haven't for me, so maybe by listing them all I can make sure that someone else is able to repair the game: Now, for everyone that has the same problem as me, I'm gonna list all the fixes I've attempted. I've been trying to get this thing to work ever since I first bought and downloaded it back on friday. And so is DirectX and other software needed.īut still, the game hasn't launched for me at all. The game simply won't launch.īefore going any further, I must say that my computer's specs are above the recommended requirements for this game. Everytime I hit the blue "Play" button it either hesitates for a couple seconds and does nothing, or it shows me the "preparing to launch" thing, gives me a splash black screen for one second and then goes back to desktop. I'm talking about not being able to start the game up for even a second. And why have I been posting so much? Because I can't launch my copy of NBA 2K15. Anyone who's been checking the threads is probably sick of my nick and Charlie Brown avatar by now. I have been browsing these forums and posting a lot for the last couple days. Seems like it was 100% audio card related. EDIT (10/22/14): The latest PC patch fixed my issues and I can now launch the game.
