[KB_TheDireWolf]

I've bought TANE via steam and installed though that, I try to start the game but it fails to launch. I have validate game cache via steam nothing was wrong still nothing. And I have check my drivers there all up-to-date.

Here is the log for the error.

(PS: Dose my system even meet the min for the game to run?)

Hi,
I think the problem is with the GPUs.

IIRC, the Intel card is default, with the nVidia card as an option. I suspect that Tane is seeing the Intel card, and bombing out.

I had a quick look at the 525 spec, while it will run Direct X 11, I could not find any reference to the memory of the card. The Game minimum is 1Gb of memory on the graphics card...

Try disabling the Intel graphics just to see if there is an improvement.
You may be able to start Tane in windowed mode, I recall the beta versions had this error message when I tried running full screen.
