    Sometimes the game is really long to start because of your game directory size whatever your setup. Do you have a clean SS:TSE or is it full or mods, maps and stuff?

    My serious sam directory is 17 GBs big and is always longer to launch than a clean game.

    win7? I have same problem, that's how I fix it:
    I launch the game, then going to task manager and close the SS process, then launch it again and it almost instantly launches succesfully, try it this way, maybe that helps you.
    Wake up to reality
    Nothing ever goes as planned
    In this accursed world

    The longer you live the more you will realise
    That the only things that truly exist in this reality
    Are merely pain, suffering and futility

    The selfish intent to preserve peace initiates wars
    And hatred is born in order to protect love
    For truly this reality is a hell

    Hi guys, this is a problem with Windows 7 from some service called GameUX.dll - basically connects to the internet and checks for updates, before it would start depending on your internet... if you didn't have internet it would not start but now that Microsoft turned off games don't even start unless you turn off the process rundll32.exe in Task Manager, here is how to solve:

    Workaround 1: rename the .exe of Serious Sam (something like SeriousSam1.exe) and it will start instantly
    Workaround 2: Run Sam in compatibility mode for some Windows XP or earlier
    Real solution: this solves the issue for all old games.... here is specific for SS: https://42amsterdam.net/samforum/showthread.php?t=2179
