GOTY not running

[Neel631]

Hi. I've got the Game of the Year Edition, when I click "Install Game" in the opening window, the installation begins without asking for my CD key. Once installation completes, the launcher app starts, but when I click "PLAY" nothing happens. I checked the Task Manager and noticed that the game launches for a second or two and then ends on it own.

I'm running:

Windows 7 Home Premium x64
Intel Core i5 450M
RAM: 4096 MB (DDR3)
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5145 (512 MB; GDDR3)

I have a working internet connection. I have played the standard edition a couple of years back (v1.0). Help.

GOTY doesn't work for me either. I bought it from Steam a few days ago, and it crashes on launch. First crash didn't have an error message at all, just said it had stopped working. I installed, updated, and registered for Games for Windows Live, and not it gives and error message when it crashes. (and, since the text in the error message couldn't be copied and pasted, I'll have to figure out how to post a screenshot of it). Demo worked fine, and there don't appear to be any issues with Arkham City (haven't played yet, but it launches and goes to main menu just fine) so I don't believe there should be any issues with my computer not supporting the game.

OK, photobucket's being stubborn, so I'll summarize and try to figure that out later: (fixed:
Edit, again: ...or not. Here's the direct link: http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/...ps293b4893.png

first bit is:
Assertion failed: FileContents.Len() > 0
[FILEC\Rck\BmSubmissionGOTY\UnrealEngine3\Development\Src\Engine\Src\ShaderManager.cpp][Line:552]

Then:
Stack: Address = 0x0 (filename not found)

QA_APPROVED_BUILD_OCTOBER_2008 198498 23-01-2010 21:41.02 FMOD: 42200/42200 Gme

and then a bunch of errors saying stuff like RaiseException() Address = randomnumbers (filenamenotfound) [location], or CxxThrowexception or GetOutermost and then the Address and filename not found stuff


This game is a couple years old - how has stuff like it not running on launch not been fixed yet?
