  I had a similar issue with Dead Rising 2 crashing on start, and I managed to fix it by verifying the game files on Steam. To do this, right-click on Dead Rising 2 in your Steam library, select Properties, go to the Local Files tab, and click on the 'Verify Integrity of Game Files' button. Steam will then check for any missing or corrupted files and automatically replace them. Once the verification process is complete, try launching the game again and see if it still crashes. This method often helps to resolve various game-related issues on the Steam platform.

  If you're still experiencing crashes with Dead Rising 2 on Steam, you can try running the game in compatibility mode. Right-click on the game's shortcut or executable file, select Properties, go to the Compatibility tab, and check the box that says 'Run this program in compatibility mode for.' From the drop-down menu, choose an older version of Windows that the game is known to be compatible with, such as Windows 7 or Windows 8. Apply the changes and try launching the game again. This method can sometimes bypass compatibility issues and allow the game to run smoothly on modern systems.
