Status: offline 		roger that

verified game cache, 8 files needed to be re-aquired. Tried to start game, froze at same cdkey screen. Steam bootstrapper stopped running, screen with choice wait for program to respond or shutdown program. I shutdown program, bring steam window back up, see under FPC game still running, try to shutdown steam, prompts to shutdown FPC first, can't shut steam down.Check task manager, see 3 instances of automenu running, can only shut down one. Going to reboot and delete local content and download again.

Deleted local content, downloaded again, still same issue. While it was frozen at the cdkey screen i did go into task manager and saw that again there was 3 instances of autorun exe. running. I could shutdown steam through task manager, but when i restarted steam it showed FPC as still running. I could only end task on 1 instance of the autorun exe. the other 2 i can only make go away by rebooting my computer.

Status: offline 		Did you see the update download and install through Steam? Do you mean when you click "Play Game" from the initial game menu? Is that game menu labeled with the Germany Reforged logo?

Erik...I restarted Steam, saw the download (5.8 MB size), then started the game, saw the germany reforged logo, and when I need to choose between read manual or play game, I click play game but nothing happen.
I cleaned the local files of the game, redownloaded, installed again, ttried second time, same problem

EDIT : game not starting but I see on the left side of Steam interface window that the game is running.... but nothing happen

EDIT 2: If I go to task manager on Windows, I see 3 process named "FPRS.exe *32" (120 kb) running....not possible to close those processes...dont know if game related, but restarting windows, going on task manager again, those processes are not there...they appear only after starting the game I think.

Status: offline 		Swiso, can you open Task Manager and see if there are multiple autorun.exe files running at the crash? There are some systems having this issue at start or close and it appears to be a Steam issue. One player was able to fix the problem by reinstalling the latest Steam install over top his existing, deleted the game files and downloaded and installed the game again. We are going to be looking into this problem with Steam and the autorun.exe and see if a better solution is out there for this problem.

Hi, no...only one autorun.exe file running, but on the other hand, I see three FPRS.exe *32 fils running at the same time and not possible to close them...to do it I need to restart the PC, then these files are gone from Task manager

Status: offline 		For swiso and pekische, have you tried installing the game or steam update using the Run as Admin function? Also see if launching the game using that function from the shortcut works better. Let us know if you get a bug report, or looking at task manager, see more than one instance of Autorun.exe or FPRS.exe in the list.

We are looking into these odd cases and hope to find a solution soon. Thanks for your patience.

Yes, tried but no success.
Usually after clicking PLAY GAME, if I go to task manager I see three FPRS.exe in the list.

Status: offline 		I have tried to reinstall the game again. I have installed only bas game (Red Storm) without DLC (Germany Reforged). And the state is even worse. The game doesn´t run even without DLC (the vanilla game ran normally before purchase of DLC )... Neither the start menu appears. I have steam version....

Same here....
Is there a way to clean everything on my PC (register too) that is related to this game ?
Maybe cleaning everything related and doing a clean install...who know ?

Status: offline 		In Steam you can clear the local content, but that can leave some files behind. Try the following:
1. Right click on the game title in your steam games list.
2.Click on Properties.
3. Click the Local Files Tab
4. Click on Browse Local Files and that will open an explorer window.
5. Click on Delete Local Game Content to remove game files.
6. After that is done look to see if any files or folders are left behind. If there are delete them.
7. Exit steam, reboot go into steam and reload the game. See if Red Storm runs before doing the DLC.
8. Let me know if Red Storm works at 2.0.10.

You may need to disable DLC by going to the Properties dialog DLC tab and unchecking install.

Will keep working on this end.
