Last time I used Steam I spent a couple of hours trying to debug a game that crashed on startup. Eventually I figured out how to start the game without Steam interfering, and found that when I start the game without Steam I would get a very helpful error message, that told me exactly what the problem was. When I started the game with steam, the game would just crash with no error messages.
After that, I did a lot of cursing at Steam.
- CoryMathews 17y agoI did the same thing and have swore to never buy another game by them again. I never got the game to work...
- TeHCrAzY 17y agoI own 150 odd games on Steam. I'm possibly right in the "average" for a gamer, ~ 25 years old, lots of disposable income (corporate programming) etc. Most of my gamer orientated friends are sitting in the same category, and also own ~100 -> 200 games each. Perhaps steam just isn't orientated towards you? Did you jump on the forums (the quickest solution to a problem is to ask) or fire off a support request (can take ~ 10 days, but usually they will resolve it?). I personally love that I can see when a friend jumps into a game of TF2 (Team Fortress 2), and follow them in with 2 clicks (right click on name ==> join server).
