Reinstalled steam, completely deleted game from my account. I don't even own this game anymore, but Steam just keeps counting!

Same problem since yesterday with Killing Floor 2 (yesterday 340 hours played, now 365. I tried to uninstall the game and un-following the game on his community hub, nothing changed yet.

Thanks for making this thread, I was wondering if it was a bug.

Same here with Deus Ex: HR. Tried to reinstall Steam and resetting my config but nothing changed.

Application can very much still be running in the background. Open "task manager" and look for the game's .exe and see if it's still running. If it appears, simply click "end task".

The person asking this never said this him/herself on the original post.

So it seems like it has just stopped after 2 days. The playtime is not increasing anymore.
I didn't do anything, it just stopped, so I think you just have to wait.
But still, I got like 40h playtime more now...
