GSB Won't Start
I click the icon, get the steam laucher notice about my steam passkey to play the game (despite having used it already), then nothing happens. Literally.
Not even a loading icon from my mouse. Nothing happens.
Other Steam games work, just this one won't.

Any ideas what happened here and how to go about undoin git?

Update:
I uninstalled and reinstalled GSB... still nothing.
I double click the icon, get the passkey notice, the Steam Community notice... then nothing happens

Same here, game won't launch. I reinstalled and ran the direct X set-up again from the program files after googling that as an old solution to this kind of thing happening. Didn't work.

Mine still won't start. I tried making a Customer Service report, but I can't find the Developer for this game in their listing.

mine also stopped working? I addded extra species bought from the dev's own site and installed that in the game folder as stated? wierd.

Had that problem. I noticed a file (fxmodel.dll) disappearing from the game folder as soon as I redownloaded it. Turns out, antivirus did it.
After setting an exception for the game folder and veryfying local file cache, the game launches fine.

yes solved it too .
What's in the file though that registers as virus plz patch this file so that we can run the game without disabling antivirus software.

will the game run if you dont start steam and run the actual GSB exe?

may be missing .dll you wont know that as steam shortcuts are broken and therefor A cant run some things B dont tell you things or have window pop ups.
An Ning Nov 6, 2015 @ 6:01am 
what does that mean?

steam is crap the shortcuts in the library dont do things the same as a normal shortcut or direct click of a exe. a .dll file may be missing i just downloaded the game and found out but i had to go to the exe and click that. if you dont have a dll a program needs it will not run dll files can also brak programs and sometime you will find fake dll files for download if its a commenly needed dll like d3d9.dll for fallout 3. if it was working then something else changed but it still could be the dll file go open it with the .exe in the game instal folder.
