I've gone through many post by people having this problem i have:
Tried running Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion.exe directly from my install directory
Tried disabling the in-game Steam Community overlay
Tried verifying the integrity of game cache (says 1 file is missing) (Have no clue what file is missing but people have tried and had no success even after replacing the missing file)
Tried running Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion Dev.exe
Made sure all Drivers are updated
Reinstalled Microsoft Visual C + + 2012 Redistributable (x86) - 11.0.51106
Even tried turning off the Firewall, Anti-virus, and Mal ware bytes
I even emailed Stardock support and waiting till monday hoping to fix this weekend, if they mail me before i get a post from someone who can help i will post what he says to do and thats if it works.
