How to Fix Blacklight: Retribution if it Does Nothing After Clicking Play

For those of you who installed Blacklight: Retribution from Steam and found that clicking the Play button on the launcher did nothing, there is a quick and easy fix.

You must find the folder on your computer that Steam installed the game to, which in my case (64 bit Windows) is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\blacklightretribution\Redist\directx. If you have 32 bit, it will look something like this:C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\blacklightretribution\Redist\directx.

Copy and pasting that link and entering it at the top of 'My Computer' should work fine to get there.

From there, find the file called DXSETUP. If you open that file and install it, when you go back to Steam you should find the game to now be working.

Good luck and happy gaming!
