I too am having similar issues. I have replaced my preferences script and have opted in to the beta but so far it hasn't worked, and Warhammer II still won't load. Launcher log and DxDiag attached.
Hello, I've had this problem since the day I've bought the game. The game runs the launcher correctly, but then when I press play on the launcher the splash screen appears, then briefly turns into a black screen, then crashes without any pop-up. Also, when I try to run the launcher directly from the launcher a pop-up appears saying: "Failed to initialise Steam! Are you running Steam?" I tried the fix suggested above, but it didn't work.
I loved TWW1, but can't play it anymore due to problems with DLL files. Please help me play this game too.
Doesn't work... But i seriously don't know where to add the preference file.. Have German version, can't find the "scripts" folder. And if i just copy it in the folder, nothing happenes
Well, than i need to wait for the solution
It's an hidden folder, be sure that you can see hidden files and folders, enabling this option
this is the folder where you need to paste the preferences.script file that Matthew posted %appdata%\The Creative Assembly\Warhammer2\scripts you find the appdata folder as an hidden folder under your main windows user folder
Hola, mi problema es que inicio Steam, le doy dobleclick a la app de Warhammer II y se me carga el inicio (Launcher). Sin embargo le doy al PLAY y no se ejecuta el juego. ¿Alguna solución? Ya que en la carpeta de launcher tampoco encuentro el ''launcher_logs.txt'' Gracias.
Ok I think we made some progress this time. I went into the beta and the game actually launched, however it skipped past the intro videos, kicked to a loading screen (as if loading a battle or campaign in-game), then the game crashed before the 'loading' bar even got halfway. Here are the files below, let me know how badly I messed up.

Issues with launching game - launcher opens I hit play. 'running' then 'syncing' then nothing. This happened last week too but I reinstalled everything Steam and it worked fine....until this evening. 110 hours in so far...

@eterne_one There seems to be a conflict with TENXWGuard64.dll which I believe is part of an antivirus application. Could you try setting the game as an exception in that program, or try disabling it during launch.

Same issue tried all the fixes from Warhammer crashes... Worked fine never had an issue until last couple days. It works sometimes the next time I log nothing. Worked last night after validating restarting and praying. Today doesn't work again...Just won't launch.
Having evolving issues with the game. After Mortal Empires release game was crashing after battles. The the game would go to load a campaign and just route back to the main menu. After reverting back to 1.0.0 the game now fails to load and will give the windows "Warhammer 2 has stopped working" dialogue and crash.
Hi problem still not solved. I can see hidden files but there is no other files with the name launcher_log.txt Here they are: And a screen that will show you that there is no other launcher_log.txt
So I tried all the fixes and what not and nothing worked. Then I realized I have not done verify integrity of games files on steam and now the game seems to be working every time.
Just throwing that out there just in case someone has not tried this.
@oplusnegative maybe try this? (I think you have a separate issue to this threads purpose):
The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer.
Cause: The problem is that the KB2999226 (Universal CRT), which is part of the Visual C++ Redistributable, failed to install. The Universal CRT fails to install if the necessary prerequisites (other updates) have not been installed yet.
Solution: Install Windows Updates: Go to Start - Control Panel - Windows Update Check for updates Install all available updates. After the updates are installed, restart your computer. After the restart repeat the steps above again until no more updates are available.
Download the Visual C++ Redistributable:
For Windows 64-bit Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017 (64-bit) For Windows 32-bit Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017 (32-bit)
Run the vc_redist.x64.exe (64-bit) or vc_redist.x86.exe (32-bit) and select Uninstall Run the .exe again and select Install
@optusnegative you need to update Windows 7 to Service Pack 1 and then run Windows Update as many times as it takes to get all the recommended updates installed. If Service Pack 1 is not coming through Windows Update you should check the Microsoft site for a download.
Also, update your graphics driver.

%appdata%\The Creative Assembly\Warhammer2\scripts
you find the appdata folder as an hidden folder under your main windows user folder

@Doofy1997 did you manage to find the appdata folder? Below is a screenshot of how to show hidden files & folders.
