Game won't boot up after Update 2.02

[chee006]

Hi Guys,

I've been having trouble booting up my game after applying Update 2.02 (2017)

The game boots to the main menu but when I click on any of the theater campaigns e.g East Front, West Front, and Rising Sun. Nothing happens. Clicking on other options like Update or Manual works.

Please advise on how to fix this problem. I am running Windows 10 and have tried troubleshooting it differently with no results

Thanks

Did you read through this?

Yup, I have already tried the suggested solution with the same results.

Please bear in mind that I do not get any error messages, just simply that nothing happens when I click on the Play or theater buttons.

Also, I do not think that it's a windows 10 issue, the game runs well if I do not update it to 2.02 and also on my other Windows 10 PC with the update it was also able to run.

It's working! I tried to reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update which I thought I did install the lat time.

YAY!!

That's great news!

For anyone else's future ref, one can also create shortcuts to the game .exe's
