Does not start ("Extracting file failed")

The game doesn't start for me, I get the error message "Extracting file failed. It is most likely caused by low memory (low disk space for swapping file) or corrupted Cabinet file."

I don't have low memory or disk space though.

It sounds like the game didn't download properly: try verifying the game's files by right clicking on the Space Moth DX icon in your Steam Library, then choose Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files. If any files are missing or corrupt, Steam will download them again for you. To be extra sure, you could also try uninstalling the game, restarting you computer then installing it again. Hope that helps!

Sorry, forgot to mention I already tried verifying and it didn't find anything missing or corrupt. But I'll try un-/reinstalling.

Edit: Ok, appears un- and reinstalling worked. I figured verifying would do the same thing. Well, all fine then.
