Thought i'd take a nostalgic look at the game again after many months, if not years away. Launcher attempts to load the game via steam, but nudda happens. No launcher in task manager hanging. Just no response at all. Verified game files, nothing wrong, up to date. Fresh steam update/restart also so no need to restart steam. Not sure where to go from here except reinstalling the game, but then i'll have that issue of being listed as a noob again which i'd rather avoid if at all possible.
