Skate won't start

I had played skate on steam for some time and had a lot of fun. until i came back from work to play it would start and then when i had a black windowed screen the game wouldnt load and would just stop. i verified my files and it said it had 3 missing files and it would reaquire after update, it still did the exact same after the 'update'. i have tried a lot of things like uninstalled the game, used the EA launcher (same problem), checked my drivers and updated them, reinstalled the antivirus thru the game files _installer folder, started as an admin etc. nothing works! i can't seem to find a good fix for this problem. I really want to play the **bleep** game.  IF someone knows a good fix do let me know.
