Hello, I purchased Alpha Protocol from Steam summer sales and installed the game without problems. After installing I clicked 'Play' at Steam's game page and the AP launcher popped up with the Steam CD-key reminder window. I continued by pressing 'Play' from the AP launcher and the only thing that happened (and only on the first time) was a Steam news popup showing up. There is a process started for the AP launcher that shows up in Windows task manager but after I click the 'Play' button in the AP launcher the process disappears as does the AP launcher window and nothing else happens - no new processes started, no error messages whatsoever, nothing. My system specs: Win 7 Pro 64bit AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black edition ATI Radeon HD4890 4 Gigs of ram Steam-installed DirectX and PhysX (did the first time running installation when I clicked 'Play' the first time) Tried googling for help but found only couple topics with similar issue but no solutions to the problem. I have verified the local files through Steam and tried to apply the 1.1 patch as well (the EU version of the patch says my version is already 1.1) - the game did take quite long time to load from Steam so I haven't tried a reinstall just yet. Tried running it in several compatibility modes as well as running it as an administrator, tried shutting down all firewall/anti-virus programs.. getting out of ideas here . Thanks in advance!
