Warhammer 3 will not launch.  It loads the start Total War start screen and proceeds to the logo screen.  It then turns black and returns back to the Stem launch screen.


I have validated the files, uninstalled and reinstalled the game multiple times, uninstalled and reinstalled Steam, updated the gpu drivers, and tried to run this as an administrator.  None of these things have resolved this problem.  

 

Everything was fine prior to the release of patch 5.2.  Patch 5.2.1 did not help.  


Please advise.
