Worms WMD not launching from steam

Everytime I click launch, it shows the process on my taskbar but closes only a few seconds later. I've tried a ton of things, reinstalling every microsoft redistributable in the book, trying to find the program stopping it in event viewer, trying to use DISM commands in the cmd prompt, everything that I've seen with a couple of google searches. Oddly enough, my friend has the exact same issues. Is anyone able to help?
