Hi guys..
i was wondering if anyone else had this problem.I bought this game last week,obviously didnt read forums on this one...my bad..
anyways..it downloaded and installed perfectly
now when i launch game...the splash screen pops up...again there is a launch button i push it...there is some kind of loading and i end up with the same splash screen again and again with the launch button.
Iam obviously sad and frustated.

hi,
I had the same problem but I could fix it:
just right-click the STEAM-application-icon in your STEAM-folder.
-> Compability -> run as administrator!

After that, open your STEAM and the problem should be fixed.
Did work on my PC.

If you are playing Shaun White on a Core i7, you have to DISABLE Hyperthreading!!! (bios setting) Apparantly it does not like 8 core chips!

After I did that it works!

I am running windows 7 64 bit.

Thanks for the advice.
But I think a patch should be better released from the publisher!!!
This stuff is from UBI, isn't it?! Hmmm... ok there will be no patch at all

There is a patch, but you wont find it on the Steam release. Screw Ubisoft. You guys should remember this for when the next time an Ubisoft game comes around.

Jeez, that's worse than downthrottling your RAM to play Act of War.

Just so you know disabling hyperthreading means your computer will only use half of the processor. Your computer will definitely run slower with that setting. I really want to play this game but I refuse to do that. If Ubisoft doesn't want to support their games then they don't deserve my money.

Try the fix I just detailed in this thread:

Much more sane than modifying hardware configurations to play a game...
