I recently built a new computer and am going through and playing all the stuff I couldn’t before. I was particularly excited for Dishonored 2, as I loved the first one. Unfortunately when I try to open it in steam it acts like it’s going to launch and then just doesn’t. I’ve uninstalled reinstalled, I’ve tried run as admin, I’ve verified the game files, I’ve ran it in comparability mode, disbled onboard graphics. Nothing.

I know this is an older game at this point, does anyone know of a magic bullet fix for this? It seems like a fairly common issue with no common solution whatsoever.

I’m on windows 10 if that matters.

    Another common issue with newly built computers is that people often plug their monitor into the integrated video of their motherboard rather than their graphics card.

    If this is an issue exclusive to Dishonored, then disregard. Otherwise, you might just double check where your monitor is plugged.

    I see from your notes that you disabled the onboard video, so that’s probably not the use in this case.

    Best of luck! Hope you can figure this one out.
