I downloaded the Ikko Ikki DLC this morning, since it is on sale. Now, Shogun 2 will not load at all. I verified the Steam cache and have tried to start the game through the shortcut on my desktop and through Steam. I have restarted the my computer and tried again. What was the point of buying the DLC if it means I can no longer play the game?
Anyone have any ideas of how to fix this, other than uninstalling and reinstalling?

Try updating your graphics card's drivers to the latest version, old drivers often cause problems. Failing that, a re-install might help. Also make sure Steam updates the game automatically so it's fully patched.

Check you have all the patches. Many people could not get into the game after the Ikko Ikki DLC, and I think there was another patch to fix it...

Okay, I still can't get into the game. The driver for my graphics card (ATI Radeon HD 5450) is up to date. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game.
I get the "preparing to launch" Steam pop-up, but it goes away after a second or two and the game never launches. I often get a pop-up Steam advertisement, afterwards, just like when you close out of a Steam game.
This is really frustrating, because the game worked fine before I bought the DLC. It hasn't worked since I bought the DLC, even though I checked the game files, and then uninstalled and reinstalled.

check your tak manager and check if it is running in the background and trying to load. Also try launching it and then try to end a few prcesses.

Steam problems can sometimes be fixed by deleting all files and folders in the Steam folder, except for the folders userdata and steamapps.
