game says checking for updates evertime I launch

every time I go to launch the game a pop up comes up and says checking for updates and immediately disappears then wont launch at all. I have tried to launch the game from steam in my library and it says the same thing. someone please help, I am not able to play the game at all.

Re: game says checking for updates evertime I launch

Can you verify your game cache by right-clicking the game in your Steam Library, Properties, Local Files, Verify Integrity ?
That may solve the issue right away, if not, we will need more info from you to resolve the problem. :)

ok, the button that says verify integrity of game cache is gray and wont allow me to click on it.

Is the game installed properly at all then? Can you try and reinstall the game?

yes, if you can't verify game cache and the game isn't launching, there's something wrong and I'd recommend a reinstall.

right click the game in your steam library, click delete local game content, the play button should become an install button

Re: game says checking for updates evertime I launch

The way it works is exactly as cpufreak101 points out, your games don't just disappear from your Steam library, especially not if you choose to uninstall it via the "delete local content" button. I would recommend restarting your steam client.

Re: game says checking for updates evertime I launch

control alt delete, task manager, go to processes, then find the steam process, click it then click end task, then relaunch steam
