I get this error when installing the newest version, also even when going past it, it wont launch. I am on a surface pro X
CrystalZeus That's on your behalf, here you will find a detailed explenation on how to fix that problem, if it doesn't work just ask for help and I will be happy to help you.
Can you please post a screenshot of the error?
Also, have you tried installing the steam "demo"? (It's fully featured and basically identical to what you can download from the website.)
