Battle Academy will not open

I have been playing Battle Academy 2 Early access for weeks and suddenly it will not start up. Not even an error message when I click on the icon. I also tried to start it from the file location. I get nothing. I downloaded the new update and it worked fine for about a week and yesterday there no response. Anyone have a similar issue? Any help would be so greatly appreciated.

If it is working fine and then suddenly stopping it could be an anti-virus issue, though I would expect it to pop something up.
What happens if you delete or rename the My Documents/My Games/BA2 folder? Does it start then?
Cheers

Yes that did it. I am playing again. I lost my saved games but I am not complaining. Thank you very much. You have made me a happy man.

Hmmm. Did you change your resolution or monitor at some point? Are you playing across different machines? If it happens again please let me know.
Cheers

What resolution are you running the game in? I am trying to work out what could make it just stop - it doesn't appear to have actually crashed.

1440 x 900.
It seems the program tries to load something and can't.
I have three other PC's with win8.1 x64 and it runs fine there.

If it failed to load something it would either error out, crash, or keep going but run oddly. As it is it seems (from your report) like it is just stopping and waiting on something. I will try and put together a debug EXE to track progress.
Where is it actually failing? Going into the mission itself from the animated mission overview, or from OK on the force selection screen? DO you ever get to see the map?
Cheers

The program stops loading before animated comic in the tutorial-mission e.g.
//edit: sorry for the trouble. I still had to wait for the program finished loading. - It took alot more time than on my laptop. - sry again, keep up the fantastic work.
