Steam always shows a preorder in library even if it not out.
Check the manual to ensure you meet the system req's. (in it's steam foulder nameed "manual.pdf").
My first couple start ups of the game were slow. I had to wait 30-40 seconds after the first launch in a black screen before I got the game splash screen and logos. If you are impatient and alt tabbing alt F4ing during the black screen, you might be screwing up the launch. It might take a bit for the blank screen to appear too.
After the first couple start up, it now starts up virtually instantly. So check the specs against your hardware, see if windows security stuff is blocking files (windows has a nasty habit of ninja prohibiting files without you knowing), and let the first start-up 'cook.' Hopefully that helps.
