Left for dead 2 wont run
Its always been fine. Tried to play it today and it says launching game and it dosnt launch. Initially the computer thinks the game is running and then after 10 seconds it stops listing the game in processes. Sound card etc is all high spec and up to date. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Before you go uninstall/reinstall I would go into the properties window of the game through steam and verify the game files. It will take a while but this usually fixes game launch problems.

If I verify the game files the message "one file failed to validate, it will be reacquired" comes up and it still dosnt work???? Any thoughts??

Same here, it's gotta be a Steam issue, so I'm gonna walk away from it for a while and I bet it will fix itself. Its happened before,

Game crashes four-five times, I keep restarting it until it works.

Happened to me for months. I tried everything (verifying cache, reinstalling, -lv, -novid, this one long soluton) and L4D2 still won't launch.

It worked 2 days ago for a few hours (with over 5000 files that had to reinstall after validation) but stopped working.
