Steam opens game and then closes after 5 sec - Samsung book 2

[ColonelAce6]

IM trying to play Motorsport manager and other low spec games on my galaxy book 2 360
I don't believe its my hardware holding me back
it runs a Intel 1255u, Intel iris Xe, 16gb ram which should be more than enough to run the game
i don't know if there is software holding steam back or if its something else

If a game crashes then Steam usually has nothing to do with it. Steam only launches the game. The game does not run through Steam.

How exactly does the game close? With an error message? Without one? Simply Crash to Desktop aka CTD without any message? Is the game freezing or acting up otherwise?

[ColonelAce6]

no so the app does open cause i see it in task manager but its a black screen and then closes same for any other game on steam. it doesn't give an error code

I'm having the same problem....I had the problem earlier and then all of a sudden it worked again....until I tried it hours later, and now it crashes at launch again. I believe it has to do with Steam. They were many reports on Down Detector, that people were having with logging on Steam, etc. Hopefully that's what this is, but nonetheless very annoying!! I've been playing for months without ever having an issue until the last two days.

Have you ever been able to play the game on this machine or has it crashed from the start?

I would suspect the Iris XE built in graphics are the issue, being technically capable of running games, doesn't mean the games will be compatible especially if the developers haven't tested the game on it.

so i just bought this laptop but whats weird is i can play games that aren't from the steam library. i can play league and even though its not a heavy game the other games graphic wise i believe use even less. i haven't tried playing any heavy games since im running Xe graphics but should i try to see if this computer can handle some higher level games.

Well whether a game is demanding or not may not be an issue. And it's not the only reason why a game may crash. There's lots of other variables and sometimes it amounts to updating drivers, or seeing if other people with the same hardware have the same issue. And the crash may not be GPU related at all. But that's the point of troubleshooting, to identify the root cause.

And one game may crash for another of reasons, and another game (that's a complete different engine, game, everything) may run fine. One game running fine may not guarantee another game regardless of how you twist the details.

try this first: put Steam in offline mode and also really go offline(disable wifi/unplug ethernet).
then try to start the game.
report back if that did something.

if so, the problem might be that the game was not updated in 5 years and your CPU is "too new".

so it did work when i turned off the WiFi and went offline
so you know if there's a way i can play online or its not possible considering how old the games is

also the last time the game was updated was 2017 nov

Same for me aswell, i tried going full offline but no help, everytime i launch the game it loads force closes same time opens up my files, the browser, and some system32 black boxes and then steam reopens.. it happens to all my games.. i tried everything but nothing works..
