Same issue:
- Reinstall
- Verify Game
But cant fix

[Fliege]

assuming you had mods installed at one point:
first, unsubscribe from every workshop mod,
then go into your left 4 dead 2 folder,
go into the addons folder and delete everything in the workshop folder,
then start the game again.

I once had the same problem with the game not starting, this fixed it for me.

Turn off your antivirus, if you have one.

i heard about a problem with win11. and i think one of the solutions was to put -vulcan in start option. which is depending on the graphics card you have.

you d need to search on the forum. maybe there is something fitting in the pinned megathread.
my personal recommendation would be to try to start steam and left in admin mode, once should be enough.
