I wanted to report this because even though I managed to fix it on my own, it may still be a problem for some people.

The game wouldn't launch at all and when I went to go to the game files to try to run as administrator, it mentioned a .dll file was missing.

I googled the file name (XAPOFX1_5.dll) and found out that it was from Microsoft Direct X June 2010, installed this software and it managed to fix the issue.

Hope it helps someone!

Cant launch on Steam either. Click Play and it then stop and Play button is back.
