Try to run the game on the administrator and after that go through your issue. I think you don’t have enough of administrator privilege and so therefore your getting this issue and so therefore I would like to suggest you to make run the game on administrator mode and to do this just make right click on the launching file of the game and after that select the run as administrator. Now during this time you will get the administrator password and after that enter the all accurate details and then start the game.

There could be lots of issue to your not able to play the game. Like when you have not updated proper driver or direct X on your system and so therefore I would like to suggest you to make sure you have updated the everything on your system and after that let me know the issue. Just go through the some official website and after that updated the version of the Direct X and to updated the driver you need to open the device manger.
