Can't start game since Windows 10 update

[ChrisDoubleYou]

My PC ran some Windows 10 updates the other day and I thought the sound not working was the worst of my problems (now fixed).

But no - I can't run Football Manager! The error from Steam was something about the servers being too busy, which I've never had before, but I've tried day, night and day after day but it never changes. It's only ever happened since the update.

I've attached a copy of the application error and what Windows throws up, as well as the Steam error - which I think is a red herring.

Can anybody help or advise? It's driving me mad, had such a long and good game going on FM13 !!

I can't find a technical forum so am posting it in general, if anybody can help, or move it somewhere it's likely to get more noticed, it would be very much appreciated. I virtually live for this save ha, and am currently really stuck

There is no technical forum. The portal is here if you have technical issues : https://community.sigames.com/forums/forum/819-crash-technical-issues-and-game-performance-support-portal/

There isn't really much benefit in steam trying to deceive you about what is going wrong launching it there. It's based on Total War Attila but the recommendation I saw for steam error code 41 was:

- Restart PC
- Disable antivirus
- Right click steam & run as administrator
- Verify game cache

Appreciated the responses.

It's fixed now. Uninstalled it from Steam, re-installed it..... Sorry to waste your time
