After installing 1.12.01 I get the message 'could not initialize steam manager' when I attempt to start either through the autoplay or the exe.

Steam is up and running.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Please try first Step 1 and if the issue still persists try Step 2.
Step 1: Run the game as Administrator

- Right-click the game in your Steam Library.
- Go to Properties, then to the Local Files tab.
- Click Browse Local Files.
- Locate the game executable (the application file).
- Right-click it and go to Properties.
- Click the Compatibility tab.
- Check the "Run this program as an administrator" box.
- Click Apply. Having done this, restart Steam and try launching the game again.


Step 2: Run Steam as Administrator

- Navigate your Steam installation file (By default, it is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam).
- Right-click the Steam executable.
- Follow the above steps to set it to Run as Administrator.
- Restart Steam.

Ok just tried that but it had no effect. Thanks for the suggestion. Perhaps I'll just do a reinstall of the base program.
