All My steam Games Crash On Startup

[Crummy Curver]

The Title Says it all: None Of my steam games work. Well, three games work; Warframe, Borderlands 2(became laggy) Mafia 2. Games such as Five Nights At Freddy's And DayZ crash as soon as i load them/ play them. The screen goes black for a few seconds and then it says *has stopped working.

I know these games have worked before, all my steam games have ran without problems. I have tried everything on the Steam Troubleshooting regarding this issue, however none work. On one part it is 'misleading' as my computer says" This program must run with Data execution protcection enabled(DEP) and i cant turn it off"

I come to the solution that:

My Mcafee has recently 'ran out' and i am forced to used windows defender, Since this change, all my games bar the three at the top crash on startup. ALL The application are allowed through by firewall. I dont know what the problem is.

Any help would be great :), Happy Gaming

p.s I can give you my pc info even though it wouldnt be much help as none of my hardware has changed since this occurence.

I know you said you tried "everything" on the troubleshooting pages, but just to check (since I don't know if everything means everything), have you tried refreshing your Steam files? Since the problem is with all your games, this could help eliminate the problem being with your current Steam installation. It's the simplest "blanket" fix to do.

When the game freezes, can you do the following:
Press ctrl-alt-delete to get task manager and note the PID of the game process
Open a command prompt window
Run in the window: cd "\Program Files (x86)\Steam"
Run in the window (replace [pid] with the game pid): WriteMinidump.exe [pid] gamehang.mdmp
Once you do that email me the resulting .mdmp file at jmccaskey at valvesoftware.com and we'll take a look at it. We're trying to identify why a small number of users seem to be affected by this when we can't reproduce it at all and it wasn't reported while the client update was in beta.

If a game is crashing not freezing for you, then for Valve games you should have a dump file in the Steam\dumps folder automatically that matches the game name. Send me that instead then. For third party games we can't catch crashes so there won't be anything to report right now.

I tried that, i have completely re-installed steam, and it did nothing, re-installin games, verify the cache

Hmmm, seems as though all my games are working fine except from five nights at freddy's and Dayz(Arma 2 dayz included) I shall try what you guys said.

I had the exact same problem and I couldn't figure it out for months. Then one day I got a different error while trying to fix it saying that directX 9 was not working with fraps. I then uninstalled fraps, then launched portal 2 and it seemed to be working again. Try uninstalling any programs that also use directX (like an FPS counter).

A bit late but i found that Disabling my AVG Protection and Firewall fixed the problem.

Just for anyone trying to fix it :)

I found a fix it took 3 months but I fixed it!!!!! all you do is right click on your steam shortcut and click open in file location. Then you will be directed to a steam.exe icon in your steam folder. Richt click the steam.exe then click properties. go to compability tab then check the "run in compability mode" click the rollup bar and click windows 8. restart steam That's it.

reinstall driver or even better reinstall windows is the better option. the failures are mostly because the upgrade process to 10 botched something. out of over 20 machines i upgraded, 3/4 had at least one noticable problem in the first day of use. since then i clean install win10 right after doing an upgrade for the license change and these run with zero problems.

here is what helped me
on the icon on your desktop for steam right click and go to properties and then open in file location and then you should see a steam file highlighted and then right click and click on properties and then go to compatibility and then tick run this program in comparability mode and the make sure the little pull down ab is on widows 8 and then apply it then on the steam part at the top of your screen on your client [steam app] open up he little tab by left clicking then click exit and let seam close and then open steam again and try the game that was not working
