Steam says game is running, but it's not

[Thursten]

I downloaded the game SNOW a while ago and it's pretty fun. I've only played for a few hours but Steam says that it's always running and I've played 386 hours of it. I tried pressing control+shift+esc to open the task manager and close the game but it's not there. please help

First thing I would do is restart your PC. If the issue persists, I would Refresh Your Steam Files.

Typical probablem when the game doesn't shut down properly.
Ctrl+Alt+Delete and bring up the task manager. Click opn the processes tab and scroll down there. You shou;d be able to spot the game's process easily (usually uses the same name),

Select it, and click the end process button and select yes in the confirm,ation dialog that fiollows.

if you run into this problem again and you dont feel like restarting your computer, you can open up command prompt and do the following:
1. run the tasklist command
2. look for the application exe file and find its PID value
3. type in taskkill /pid [PID number] /f
and that should make steam stop thinking its running

Just run the task manager,find the game by scrolling down and after you find the game click end task
