Have you checked if any software you have installed interferes with Steam?

Are you running Steam first? Try to disable Cloud saving. That causes problems.

I created a shortcut on desktop, and i have played for a while without problems. Since yesterday i have major problems starting the game.

You didn't state whether you had steam running first though.

Games bought on steam and run through steam *require* steam to BE RUNNING.

So... start Steam. Make sure that your shortcut leads to the correct executable in the folder where your steam game IS.

Steam is always running !!

I note that you've literally never posted anywhere but here, in this very thread.

Why not jump over to the game's forum hub and search first, then ask there.

[ッdennoGV™]

I asked there too

Same here, yesterday. I did not needed to run steam first. I could start up the game without steam. Now i have to be online. Meaning that if steam gets problems with their servers. Then i can't play my games anymore.

[Julien, cut it out.]

1) Verify integrity of game files of your game.
2) Run Steam as administrator.
3) Check Windows Event Log for further information.

If you are running Steam as administrator and you are not running the game as administrator then you will usually get the error that steam needs to be running first.

Whose support did you email?

And did you expect a prompt reply? Because first: if you tried asking support here on Steam, they cannot help you with this, it's not their game. Second: companies rarely answer tech support like that. That's why they have hubs here on steam...

Well if steam does not offer support, and giants answers rarely who could help us ???

[Sling3r]

Google repair steam service.

Steam offers support for games they create (that is to say: TF2, L4d, Half Life, portal, counterstrike, etc - those games ONLY), for the CLIENT itself - the launch tool to see your library, the chat service itself, and the storefront, and for billing issues to do with your account. NOT anything else.

Again, you didn't say who you contacted on 'the game's forum. The publisher? Who? because you STILL have no posts anywhere but here in this exact thread.

Go find the GAME in your library, bring up its COMMUNITY HUB. Post your situation THERE.
