License not verified - Steam client not running

[RandomS4nity]

Started using vortex to replace NMM last night and while it is an extremely frustrating process, I did eventually get it working.

 

Unfortunately it no longer works today. I receive the following message when trying to launch a game:

License not verified

Steam client is not running

 

My Steam client is clearly running in the background and it does bring it to foreground while trying to launch the game.

 

Have I mucked up a setting somewhere to cause this?

 

Any advice is appreciated.

 

Thank you.

 

Also as an unrelated questions: if I launch directly from Steam, will my mods still be enabled? They don't seem to show up in the mods folder so I'm guessing no.

Roll back vortex to 0.16.08 for some reason Steam being installed was accidentally made a dependency of 0.16.10

I am running the steam client, so shouldn't this still work? Plus it was working yesterday on this same version.

 

I will try rolling back.

Don't know, but for whatever reason a certain percentage of users are having bad luck with 0.16.10, while others 0.16.10 is working just fine.

Downgraded and still having this issue. Can't use any mods due to this message.

Yes they will, both symlink and hardlink

 

I'm launching Witcher 3 from Gog Galaxy, (I have vortex open all the time anyway) and the mods are there.

Same with Fallout 3, New Vegas etc.

 

I don't know what to tell you about the problem with the Steam Client though.

 

You aren't running Vortex as Administrator are you? Because you shouldn't be

Not running as admin. Plus I've tried KC:D without launching through Vortex and mods are not working.. if I manually copy them to the folder they work fine. This is the worst program I've ever used, switching back to NMM.
