Steam Opening Issue.

My game won't load when using steam. it just stays at the "Preparing to launch" stage, not moving any further. any easy way to fix?

Re: Steam Opening Issue.

Have you tried deactivating mods in the launcher to rule out any conflicts there?
Otherwise, please post your gamelog.txt so we can take a look at where it hangs.

Re: Steam Opening Issue.

It doesn't even let me reach the game log or launcher. all I get is this for a very, very, very long time if not indefinitely, as nothing is happening.

Re: Steam Opening Issue.

Hmm... This window is opening for so long? If it closes and opens again, consider relaunching Steam. I had similar issues with GTA 4 not that long ago, I guess restarting would fix it.

I've had to do this before, and I've forgotten how.

Re: Steam Opening Issue.

I have the same issue, although, I bought the game just over an hour ago. The same window as seen in above screenshot. Trying to verify the game cache results with it stuck at 0%. Reinstalled the game, still the same. Kind of frustrating.

**

Regarding gamelog.txt, there's none generated, as the game haven't launched a single time.

Updating steam seems to have resolved the issue.

Re: Steam Opening Issue.

This is not something that is in our power to change though as this doesn't even launch any code we have produced. I would suggest to do the following:
1) Restart Steam (don't just close the Steam window)
2) Verify Game Cache Integrity (right-click Automation, Properties, Local Files, Verify Game Cache)
3) Try to launch the game again

Report any errors you get thereafter.

Re: Steam Opening Issue.

I reopened steam once again, and after letting it update (didn't occur the first time) the game seems to launch just fine. Thank you, for your time.
