CaptainPatch Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) This just started today. Click on the game icon shortcut, up pops the Steam panel, and then it just sits there FOREVER. I thought it might be a problem at Steam, but trying to launch from within Steam is identical. Haven't a clue as to what is (not) going on or why. Also, I validated all of the Local Files on Steam, and that came back with no problems detected. Edited February 4, 2017 by CaptainPatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPatch Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 Weirdness. I had to sign up for the beta version -- which I had thought I was already signed up. Did that, Steam updated, and then the game finally launched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damanding Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I frequently get stuck on the steam preparing to launch if I try to restart the game after a crash. I just exit and restart steam to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdkzombie Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) Do you get any error messages or does it just sit there and telling you that its preparing to launch, or "is" launching. Edited February 4, 2017 by jdkzombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPatch Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 Do you get any error messages or does it just sit there and telling you that its preparing to launch, or "is" launching.Just spinning its wheels endlessly. Ten minutes, 20 minutes, a half-hour, doesn't matter. No error message nor any indication that Steam has done _anything_ beyond posting that "Preparing to launch" panel. But having enabled the beta version finally moved things along. For now. May be a different story tomorrow for all I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damanding Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Next time just exit and restart Steam. I think it's a Steam problem not a game problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPatch Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 Next time just exit and restart Steam. I think it's a Steam problem not a game problem. Attempted that several times; no effect, problem persisted. It wasn't until I opted in for the beta that it finally launched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
