My game refuses to start!

I was playing for a little while (up into the place with the elevator shaft that you need to traverse) and when I went to start the game it popped up the window for about half a second then closed… no error message nothing, I even tried re-installing but it still does the same thing. Please help!

I could be wrong, but I think we are gonna need a bit more information on what kind of computer set up you have.

A non-gaming laptop from samsung

Your laptop is too weak to handle BM, simply put. You need a stronger PC.

It was working fine until it crashed, and it doesn’t crash, it just refuses to start.

laptop? lol!
