Game Won't Launch

[EmiZ60]

Hi :),

I tried starting the game and it won't go past the game launch. When I press Start, it just stays on the launcher and doesn't load. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I've tried reinstalling it. It was working fine two nights ago.

Thank you for any help!

Welcome to my neverending problem.
I'm trying to install the game on my gf's computer and this is the problem I had.

Please check other posts about game start problems, there are some solutions that worked for some people.

Good luck!

For anyone else facing this problem and the Code 740, or it not going past the ready start button, after you initially download the game, make sure the file OriginLib.dll is there BEFORE you try to run the program for the first time. Go to your downloads and click to install it again. It will ask you to restart your computer. When it turns back on, install it again. After you confirm the OriginLib.dll file is there in the existing file, right click the "silkroad" file and Run As Administrator once its done installing again, and it should work perfectly :)!!

Also to note after you've installed it again and the originlib.dll file is there, for me now I realized that I have to right click, Run As Administrator, then it will act like it doesn't want to start, so I have to close the launch window, right click, Run As Administrator a second time and the game launches.
