So the game in question here is Ultimate Spider-Man. Whenever I try to open up the game, my cursor disappears as if the game was starting up and a BLANK icon appears in my taskbar, only for my cursor to come back and the icon to disappear after a few seconds, making it impossible for me to play the game. I have checked that when I initially open the game, it comes up in Task Manager and it uses up CPU, Memory and all of that stuff that a game is supposed to use, and I know that it's nothing to do with the game itself as it worked for me a few months ago.

The thing is that the game USED to actually crash a few seconds after I opened (the game never did actually open though) but now it just seamlessly closes as if I had Alt+F4d it.

I've tried to look around for solutions before asking this myself and I've tried MANY things to solve this, some of which include:

-Running in Windows XP Compatibility mode (this seems to be the most common fix for this type of issue)

-Reinstalled the game (Done this around 6 times)

-Downloaded, Uninstalled, Reinstalled Direct X and Visual C++

-Verified System Files

-Updated Graphics Card Drivers (As well as all of my other drivers)

-Updated Windows

-Many many other solutions to this

And other games seem to work fine for me, so I don't know what it is with this game. This is an old game and my PC is more than capable to handle it, these are my specs:

NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti
Intel Core i5-4460 3.2 GHz
8 GB RAM

I am running a 64 bit Windows 10 OS and I would really want to play this game. Thank you

My game had been working and for some reason the next day it suddenly did the same thing yours is. I installed the widescreen fix to use on a different monitor and it worked and now suddenly it won't the next day. Has the OP found a solution or is the thread dead?
