When I start the game, the cities.exe process starts, the icon appears briefly on the taskbar, and then it closes and vanishes with no error message.

My "flavor" of error seems to be the "Steam initialization has failed beyond repair or you do not own the game" version. Steam is running and logged in (tried offline mode as well), has no client updates (there is a beta version available, didn't try that though), and other steam games run fine.

I know some others have had a similar issue and I've tried restarting, reinstalling the game, rerunning the VC2010 install manually... no luck yet.

Here is my output_log.txt: http://pastebin.com/mCbzW9y9

... hope this helps and we can find a solution soon, was really looking forward to playing :(
