Cant play Hitman games anymore on steam, taken from me

[ICECREAMSHAMPOO]

All my games now after Contracts says "failed to initialize steam". I looked up a fix and people say go to appdata and delete folder in IO Interactive but I dont get that folder therefore cannot be fixed. This is crazy, they stole my games from me and I owned all DLC. I have to pirate their games now because IO interactive are absolute morons. if anyone knows how to fix their broken online launcher ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, let me know thanks. will never buy an IO game again. this can be a lawsuit as many others are have it.

I have no problems with either HITMAN (2016) or HITMAN 2; I think that in HITMAN 3/WoA there is a problem similar to the one you describe and, if you don't see the IO Interactive folder you have two other options you can try:

First Option:
- Completely shut-down and exit Steam.
- Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\appcache\appinfo.vdf
- Delete the file appinfo.vdf
- Re-start Steam and try again.

Second Option (I've read it in another forum and I don't know if it works, but apparently it has helped some so I'm leaving it just in case):
- Click Clear Cache in the Clear Download Cache section.
- Change Steam Download Region
- Perform a DNS Flush and Reset the Winsock Catalog

Since according to https://hitmanstat.us/ (a community site dedicated to checking the status of the official hitman servers, the ones still running anyway) still shows all the HITMAN 2016 servers running, means that it has to be a problem in your computer.

I tried looking up a problem, and I found this: https://steamcommunity.com/app/236870/discussions/0/1815422173028053797/ Did you try what Kunovega said in the 1st reply to that discussion?

Hope it helps

already tried this. It made all games after contracts says that it cannot run with user configuration. I set admin in compatibility, Ive run it as admin. nothing. No IO interactive folder is given to me, therefore its not possible to launch these games. Ive played all of these on this exact computer. What appears to be happening is that these games are no longer downloading all the files as IO went live service and I feel that they messed up Absolution, Blood Money and Hitman Assassination as they are the only games which are connected to their online service. My guess is that it has to do with them getting rid of eidos online and replacing it with their new online live service but its not downloading through steam so its unable to connect to the new service. Ive never had this problem with any game on steam and Ive been using it since 2004.

Hitman 3 can play all the contents of Hitman 1.
