- I ran into this issue where none of my steam games would work, and after about a week of looking around I figured it out. I decided it would be a good idea to put all the different methods I learned into one video. Like a one stop shop, wouldn't you say?

Such a informal and easy guide onto fixing your games well thought and executed great video. Helped me a lot!
Thanks for the support!
m8 did every thing but my warhammer total war will not start, Seems like i dont have any warhammer.exe for some strange reason. Any help with that?
Checking the integrity of the game files didn't re-install it?
mian say mormy read eiror tell me hwo fix it pelse
255 cant work tghere is no ,exx fire in xneoveres 2 at not in my viosn
This is such an informative and easy guide to use. If it doesn't work, then something is probably seriously wrong. I've had a bunch of unfixable problems with games, such as GTA V not logging in
Thanks for the support and comment!!!!
I like how he does many different steps. Instead of naming one way you can try it like many other videos do, he names many other ways. This was very informational. I'm still at the "big guns" so My R6S could work.
I still have the same problem with Skullgirls ever since I upgraded to windows 10
I have an additional fix to suggest.
Sometimes, a Windows update might interfere with a Unity-based game's ability to communicate with your graphics card. If your problems are limited to Unity games running on Windows, right click anywhere on your desktop background and select Graphics Options (or settings). Then, tell your graphics card to maintain the aspect ratio by default when booting up an application.
Thanks for the tip!
didn’t work but thanks for helping me man u are hilarious and definitely earned a sub
Nothing helps by Hurtworld :|
But thanks for the try to help me.
Is it only that game not working?

You mean, i cant do anything to Sonic Forces?

The only game which doesn't work for me is Stardew Valley because I installed smapi before having started Stardew Valley for the first time and now I'm sitting here trying to get Stardew Valley to work again.. What a day. Thanks for the video I appreciate it even though none of the stuff you showed helped me. :(

Maneater froze on me for every Apex Predator title screen. What fixed it is uninstalling and reinstalling the game.
Unfortunately, it didn't fix the whole glitch. It only fixed the one I was working on.
It works, but you'll have to do it multiple times.
It didn't delete my save files.

That's what you get by using a damn Mac

Glad it worked!!!!
Which one worked
Everytime I load a game up it says I can’t do it because it’s running and I can’t stop it in anyway except restarting my pc but it happens consistently
You can try to go into the task manager and find the game in the list and click it and hit end task and try again
Launch Gaming ok but it doesn’t show up in task manager. It just keeps running
Thanksss man I love you !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Which one worked
for me its subnautica i press play it goes to the loading screen for about five seconds then it close and steam says its not running pls help i was looking forward to playing it
I liked yo from all my accounts so 1 like
I tried soooo many videos and discussings thank you so much i can live agine.
No problem! :D
A family member shares games with me and they were working literally just yesterday, but for some unknown reason no matter what I do, clicking them just does nothing. There's no pop-up, it doesn't say that it's running, it just does nothing
hmmm, that could be a whole bunch of issues, are the games grayed out or anything? Are they running in the background or are they just actually not doing anything anymore?
No, No, and yes
That's very strange, try re-logging into the account or ask the family member to check the settings and to make sure you're still permitted on it. I know that there is settings where you can disable family sharing.
For those who may have the same case as me (assetto corsa, content manager) MAKE SYRE YOU LAUNCH THE GAME FROM STEAM FURST IT DOWNLAODS A FEW DIRECTX ETC STUFF
i have a different problem which this video i dont think is meant for. i have this game called totally accurate battle simulator. in the game you can make custom stages and stuff like that. you can also SAVE the stages and heres the problem. when i save the stages. they dont save. it must be something with it saving on a different file then the one im using to play the game. to be honest. i have no idea
OMG IT FREAKING WORKED!!! I fixed my medieval total war II scripts! Thank you so much! *Im Crying*
no you dont
Which one worked
I deleted the crash handler and steam started right up
how?
Dont realy know but the games still didnt work so I sent it to a friend of mine and he found out it wasnt the software or anything and there was a missing piece on my motherboard wich allowed correct flow into the graphics card. Idk if this helps at all
Help it did launch but while I’m playing rainbow 6 it crash with my pc pls help me :(
i literally have this problem , i start up my game on steam and i go to task manager and its not even on apps or background processes, but when i launch my game and i close steam [not completely] i see it in task manager.
Finally, a video actually helped me. Thank you so MUCH
Glad it helped you!
Dude I'lo pray for your whole family that y'all live longer happier and your life gets much easy and good I don't know how can I thank you but still,THANKS SO FXKIN MUCH!
I have downloaded Flatout 4.... when I try to open the game, it shows me 'Error initializing game'...
Will one of these tricks work to solve my problem?
Plzzz reply!🙏🙏
I have the exact same problem!
😎😎😎😎
I didnt need a fix for any of my games but still it's such a great video you go there. Informative, without clickbait.
Thanks for the support! I'm glad you enjoyed it, it means a lot!
The close down steam with task manager worked thank you
Hey, LaunchGaming! I followed all of your steps and none of them worked for this specific game I have. Every other game works completely fine but this one just won't work. I've tried all day yesterday to open it with numerous guides including your's. Do you have any other advice?
What game is it for?
Doki Doki Literature Club.
thanks a bunch man. saved me a headache
Thanks man you helped me a lot. Nice commentary and make more vids please
I think one may or may not come out this weekend ;)
If it doesnt work and its a shared game just make sure the family sharing thing is active
Good Tip!!!!
I tried all the methods to try and fix Rainbow 6 Siege, but when I play the game the game just pops up for half a second to 3
Plz help
1 way that always works is delete all the files and go to the verify the integrity of game files
omg this is amazing i finally can play cs again omg think you so much
litterally every single game on steam is giving me a headache from time to time, whats up with that shit im done with steam tbh
Thanks so much! This helped me loads!
I've tryed everything you said in this video but nothing works. The game that I have trouble with is brick rigs. When I press play it says that it's running until you close it with the task manager. I have noticed that a lot of people have trouble with this game , Do you think that it happens because of a bad patch or something. Should I refound it until they fix it or should I seek help?
Looking into common issues with the game, it looks like putting "-windowed" in the start options might fix it. If not, try to look more into it and if its still not working, you may want to refund it because like you said it could just be a poorly optimized game. But, thats just personal preference.
I bought GTA IV on Steam, and whenever I try to launch it, it will show me the product code, then I hit play and Rockstar Social Club comes on asking if I want to link my other accounts (in which I already did), and I'd hit play again. Nothing will happen. I even uninstalled and reinstalled it, and the same problem occurs. I have no idea what to do.
Try putting in a new account, see if its just an account issue.
well i went to my tax manager and he told me how to get more back from my income tax so thanks man! IGN 10/10
LOL
Geometry Dash doesn't work, just happened today, when I click the "play" option in a split second it appears with the box that starts it up and then it fades away, after 3 seconds the "game" just stops loading at gives up, any fixes?
if you have msi afterburner & riva tunner update to the lastest version
Good Tip!!
Zig Zag, after trying so many things, including everything in this video, Updating Riva Tuner is what worked for me. Thank you for that tip! :)
Launch Gaming, thanks for taking the time to make this video. No doubt you have helped many people, including me in a round-about way! :)
Thank you so much for your comment, its people like you that really makes it all worth it! Glad you sere able to get your games working!!
Listen to this man he saved my life
I have a problem with tf2, launching the game is fine but
sometimes It randomly throws me out of the a game.. :(
i tried getting ruby's mod for halo 2 on pc in mcc. it took me hours get the nexus account, setting up vortex, downloading the mod and figure out to apply and install the mod. campaign started just fine until Sargent johnson was telling chief to wear something nice. crashed every attempt. i uninstalled the mod to find out that halo 2 doesn't load anymore. it just sits there for bit before it closes out completely.
Thank you this video helped a lot :)
No Problem!!!
Thank you, it works! Very informative and not to mention hilarious.
Glad to help and entertain you!
Thanks it really worked
I tried everything you said and still not working the game says running for a bit then just stops and will never launch
What game?
I just download BRAIN / OUT and it does not open and I still can not open it.
Whats your pc specs
Launch Gaming really bad is a pc of 2008 has a i3 of 3th, without graphic card and 4GB RAM. What would be a good modification?
It might not meet the min specs for the game then.
My problem is I can launch the game but when i press the start gane button it says not responding
So I have the problem that my games are not working, game launcher does not open after clicking on the game in the library...I tired everything, can you help?
me: reads title
me: looks at publish date
my brain ERR BRAIN.EXE IS NOT RESPONDING
It still works I promise! :)
I get this error message when I tried running BO3, COD WW2, GTA V.
"Game did not shutdown properly during last session. Would you like to run in safe mode?" Then When I Click YES, another box pops up and says that the game has stopped working.Not even google knows the answer this this error and It's really really common on STEAM too -_-
'An error has occurred while updating BO3". I REALLY NEED YOU HELP MAN
Try running the game with out safe mode. Also, see if anything comes up in the crash log?
Launch Gaming Nothing else shows, I just get those messages and cannot really do anything.
Launch Gaming Where you still able to play your games on STEAM? Could this be fix with the next STEAM update?
I was, my issue ended up being a bad graphic card driver. The next update could very well as fix them. Just check all of your drivers just in case.
so... Nothing worked for me and I wantet to re-install the game BUT I have no folder called 730. What can I do now?...
I think that might of only been for CS:GO, sorry for the confusion.
Ok so i am going to look whats right for me. Thanks!
Ok! I uninstalled the game and installed again... and it's still not working! WHY? hope you can help me out again...
Have you tried to steam apps folder fix at 6:18 ?
Yes...

Does any other game work?
NamoR did you fix it?
If yes, Then how?
None of them worked :( - When I launch my game it says launching like its supposed to but after a bit it says "An error occurred while updating {game} (connection time out) - PLEASE HELP!
What game is it for?
Bought a game earlier today, played it for an hour, no issues. Closed it and came back later it hasnt worked since, none of these steps worked. I am so confused :(
What game is it?
Dark Souls
What is your PC specs?
Well my DCS on STEAM just started saying an Important file is damaged and needs repaired. but so far nothing I've done has worked to repair it. Following the info it's a terrain file. But I don't understand how I am suppose to fix it or why it even went bad. I done nothing to cause this. Any help?
I can't find any other options than shortcut in properties.. what should I do?
You just saved my weekend
Glad to be able to help ya out!
Which one worked
Hi man I'm just wondering whether you know how to fix certain sound on games not working not all games just one
soo, basically, when i try to start GMOD, it sayd "running" then around 2-3 seconds later it says "synced" then just doesn't open. When I try to open it, it does nothing, it does what I just said, and none of what you said helped me out :p Is there anything else?
Nice editing btw! :)
Thanks! And does any other game not work? or is it just Gmod?
It is only GMOD. ;(
Do you know your pc specs?
Yes buddy, and don't worry, I have been talking with the Facepunch developers, and steam, they are helping me fix the problem
Alright cool! Feel free to let me know if you need anything else, and sorry about the long delay, I had a lot of events over the weekend. Let me know how it goes and what fixed it for you so I can help others with the same problem!
big files games are not working on steam.how to fix it.some small files games are work very well
Hi i tried every thing i update my windows , delete game , entering launch option and... it not works for me can you help me ? :(
I was trying to play danganronpa 1 and when i launched the launcher and hit play it just freezes my entire pc the only way to unfreeze you gotta open task manager and close it :(
What if my game still doesn't work..... rip
you are legend bro! it did not work on my pc! but I respect your work.
Thanks you!! And sorry to hear that, what issue are you having?
My computer was affected a virus. So after backing up and formatting it, rainbow six isn't working. It says running and again becomes blue. Every other game jsut works fine. Help please!
Sounds like its an issue the the graphic drivers, you may need to re-install them
When I open up my "userdata" folder, there's no 730 folder. Is that a bad thing? What else can I do?
So I’m having this problem where i start a game, planet coaster, and then steam says that the game is running however the game doesn’t appear. In task manager there is no sign of the game not even in background tasks? I tried all the methods in the video and so far nothing.
Have you tried to open the game directly from the .exe file, or deleting the exe file and repairing the folder?
Launch Gaming i managed to fix the issue. Within system configurations(msconfig) inside the boot tab there is an advanced options button within that you can limit the amount of cores on ur cpu. For some unknown reason mine was default to 1 core when my cpu has 4. Thx for the help anyway:)
Thanks for the new tip, Ill remember to try to help others, Thanks for the tip!
Some of my games won't launch because the file steam_api.dll isn't there, but there's one game that worked fine until one day it stopped randomly. No error code or anything. How could I fix both of these?
Try checking all of your drivers and updates for everything.
