I think I should contact you this way, because I do not answers from Steam community and have not found answer with "googling":

"Copy/Paste" from steam bug section below:

I try start game (Lords of Xulima) from icon (Windows 8.1). But nothing happens.. no load. no screen... nothing. No running process in Task Manger.
I have installed .NET OK and Configuration.txt is empty. Have tried "run as admin" mode.
Unistall/Reinstall did not help.

Ps. I tried also:
* Start game from hard disc (Also with admin mode)
* Changed resolution of my screen
* Disabled multiple monitors.

All I see is errors in "Event Viewer":

Seems be somethong with SlimDX:

Copy/paste from event viewer during reinstall:

Product: SlimDX Runtime .NET 4.0 x64 (January 2012) -- The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2908. The arguments are: {49CD009B-2541-484D-BEEB-83D79E7DD9D7}, ,

I Installed SlimDX with option /l for log (Cannot attach .txt file but here is text from log-file)

Hi!

If your configuration.txt file is empty please edit it and paste this text. It is selected OpenGL as default so perhaps that was the problem as the installer of SlimDX in Windows 8.1 is failing. Also you can change the resolution to the one of your monitor instead of 1920x1080.
