Windows 8 Steam version of TWD won't launch
Hi, I buyed TWD season 2 via steam and tried to start it but whenever I try to launch the game, it stays blocked at the steam window saying it is preparing to launch. I tried running as admin, and compatibility mode for different versions of windows (98 - ME / Seven as I remember), tried running it windowed but it still doesn't launch. I ran the Walking Dead Support Tool and here is the report file.
Thanks for helping.

I apologize for the delayed response. Below are a few possible solutions (You may have tried a few of these, but I will post all of the potential solutions to resolve the issue below):
1) Ensure you have the latest drivers for both your graphics card, and your computer’s BIOS
2) Restart your system
3) Update your PC from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 (This is a free upgrade)
3) Unplug your gamepad (and all other USB devices other than keyboard/mouse) and plug in headphones to the audio out jack.
4) Verify your cache if you purchased through Steam (https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335)
5) Run the game as admin
6) Run the game in compatibility mode (right click on game’s icon, click properties, click compatibility tab , and we recommend running the game in Windows 98/ME ) (We recommend Windows 98/ME)
7) Reinstall the game
8) Make sure that the Steam application is not set to a compatibility mode (right click on steam and click properties, then check compatibility, and make sure that it is not checked to play in a different OS)
9) Disable Steam Overlay, if you purchased through Steam (http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3168263)
10) Opt out of the Steam Beta, if you purchased through Steam (http://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/828934424165581080/)
