Fatal error steam must run for the game to load

[Skylynthefox]

I been getting Fatal error messages when i run some old games on steam ( deadly premonition and dues ex: invisible wars) While i fixed the one on invisible wars i was unsucessful on the other. Anyone getting the same fatal error?

this is seen before you start the game from shortcuts and steam client was not running already.
and app simple end is timewindows and gave up and thats the problem.

you cant fix old games that do not wait for steam , steam is alot bigger today and do alot of checkup and validate game files.

you could say they check to much, but that can also lead to user bugs if they dont.

ps.
you could go other way always start client first, then start game.

No, just start the Steam client from the Windows start menu.
Then start the game from inside steam. (Your library)

dont you have steam icon on desktop. ?

then that is done , then use your windows desktop for that game you want to start.

im sorry dont forget we other think thats normal. to know if steam client is there or not.

same with Origin client or Uplay or Blizzard or Bethesda or Rockstars clients.

well i bet you understand it now. client first before game start.
