COH2 game will not start

hey, im playing coh2 since (beta) day one. the game was always running fine on my mashine till a few weeks ago. the game simply refuses to start. (steam of course)

since i got no help at all from the lousy steam community or anyone else i thought maybe can help me here.

problem:

when i start steam and click COH2 in my library - nothing happens. excep in friends window, i can see my status changing to "playing coh2" for about 3 secs.

in the library windows its saying: running - syncing - nothing.


sys: xeon x5650 6x 4GHZ 32GB RAM geforce 970 asus strix

windows 10 pro with Sphinx firewall controll (something like little snitch on mac)


i reinstalled steam and downloaded the whole games two times now. off course i tried to validate game files via steam about 20 times (this always did teh job in the past when the problem came up)

i reinstalled graphics drivers two times.

i think the problem is somehow related to the stupid geforce experience software and maybe resolution "optimized" settings. i cant edit any settings in the geexp app because its not working correctly (even after complete clean reinstall)

thanks for any tipps

hooah!

steam chat help would be great!

i just disabled the windows firewall and deinstalled sphinx firewall control. geforce experience was installed correctly.

it finds coh2 after scan. when i click play nothing happens (except see above)

gefexp says for coh2: unable to retrieve settings. try again later.

fuck geforce crap software, should have stayed on the AMD side

so format c: is the last resort. thanks geforce morons

( i also tried -nomovies -window -fullwindow -forceactive -lockMouse ) to force correct res

It hasn't started for me for a week. Don't think it's geforce experience. Game has randomly broken for me periodically last few months.

Relic support is just kind of awful ...

+1, I cant even INSTALL the game using steam without it crashing steam completely. I updated to Windows 10 Anniversary and it just went downhill from there. over 500 hours in the game and now it just bricks steam everytime I try to do anything with it.

There was a issue a while ago where anti virus software was thinking COH2 was a virus and wouldnt allow it to run. Be worth disabling your anti virus software and seeing if it runs after.
