I bought the game via Steam. When I click on Play in my Steam library, the Stardock window opens. BUT, when I click on "Play" Starcontrol in the stardock window, the button changes briefly to blue "Stop", then reverts to green "Play" button. Game does not launch.
My system exceeds all system requirements. I have already re-installed game (multiple times), Steam client (multiple times), video drivers, DirectX, and audio drivers.
Any help you can offer is appreciated.
