TL;DR At the bottom
By default, I don’t even get the Xigncode3 Splash loader.
Setting Compatibility to Windows Xp Service pack 3 - I get the Xigncode3 loader, once the bar fills, nothing happens.
I’ve read the suggestions, Verify, Uninstall, re-install, disable anti virus (I have none except windows built in default, which I disabled anyway) Enable exception for firewall, I disabled it. I know my Xigncode3 works, and there are no conflicts, because I play Black Desert. (Which also uses Xigncode3)
Made sure my PC was up to date, drivers up to date.
So I was tired of looking at the “Known Fixes”
Obviously the tech support isn’t what it should be (No offense, take it as constructive criticism)
Looking at the logs it appears that after Xigncode starts, FaceFX begins, then crashes

Without looking too far into the log, we’ve found that FaceFX is making it so that, Xigncode can’t properly execute. Typically we know the reasons why…
Can’t run because; Antivirus, firewall, hacking, simple incompatibility (Currently windows 10 isn’t working with xigncode)
For kicks I decided to run steam as an administrator, and it all works after that.
Then I decided to look into the forums a bit more, and somebody else reported this exact issue.
Why this isn’t a known fix? Instead of things like, “Could be compatibility mode, Shrug”
Possibly they think everyone runs steam as an administrator?
It doesn’t by default, and only does if compatibility mode is enabled, or you tell it to specifically.
I have 114 games on steam as well (Haven’t played them all) but as far as I know this is the only one that requires steam to have admin rights.
TL;DR - Try running steam as administrator.
