im not gonna lie this really saved me from brutaly beat my pc

I thought I was about to have to cry in my pillow. It wouldn't work until you helped! Thank you so much!

You are a god send! I spent probably 20 hours trying to fix my launchers and i tried so many options (many beyond this video) it was using the Program compatibility launcher that solved it. I didnt actually use it on the game exe itself but rather on steam which put it in Compatibility for Windows 8 and finally the launcher....launched!

If these methods don't work like it did for me you can try to verify the integrity of the games files through steam, close steam altogether then delete the appcache folder found in the Steam folder then restart your pc and it should work

I was literally sitting at my desk for like two hours trying to figure out what was wrong and I just watch this video and the first thing help me so thanks

This helped me fix two of my games by going into local files and starting the game from there, ive been trying to fix this for a week now

Thank you so much!!!! I have probably spent just over 40 minutes trying to fix this issue thank you!!

It takes only 43 seconds for me and this video is a life saver

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Goat Simulator wasn't able to load, I restarted the laptop and BOOM! Game works perfectly

YOU ARE THE SECOND COMMING OF JESUS!!!!

Game : Dark deception status of launching : dont work or failed i tried the tutorial but nothing :(

I have tried almost all of these to my windows 11.. i guess the game left 4 dead 2 is an old game but my friends and I still love playing it - since we are one of those creating new maps so it'll remain playable and exciting.. but my new laptop wouldn't work 🥺🤦🏻‍♀️ I guess I have to report it or I will try reinstalling and repeat all the steps you provided. It worked with other games so I knew for sure that these steps works! :) thanks!! :)

Thanks so much this is my first time using steam and I didn’t know what to do then my friend sent me this video and it helped so much

I watch this before I uninstall the game I download literally you are a savior

I've been trying for 4 MONTHS to get my games to launch. Your 4th method worked for me!! Thanks bro!!

I’m a little late but you’re the best man I’ve watched so many of your vids for tech help and they’ve all worked thank you❤️

wow bro thx for helping me for hero siege. it wouldnt open but u saved me respect.

Not all hero’s have a cape

2 sacred gold files were corrupted and had to be re-installed! Thanks for this

The Real Men bro i cant play FNaF 1 and u fixed it C:

I format my computer And It's That the only Method to Work For My 😂😂😂😂😂

Non of these worked, whenever I try to launch the game in the steam app, it says stop, and after a few seconds it says play again. I also tried a desktop shortcut and reinstalling. Any tips? Edit: it says libcocos2d.dll,libextentions.dll, glew32.dll, and steam_api.dll was not found. That may help.

I wanna give you all my life savings for helping me

I should have kept my other console cause this pc got me coming to RU-vid every damn time

Does the last method change the settings for all programs or just for that one?

Man I want to hug you right now, all of this methods are amazing but it worked at the first one, thank you sooooo much

Will any of these methods cause problems or harm my OS or Steam account?

Thank god for your soul thank you!!!!!

How I fixed the game that had the problem was to make a backup file and it works perfectly and if it doesn’t work again I’ll use these methods

The 3rd method worked for me. Thank you sir!

Tried all methods.. didn't work.. deleted shader cache file.. it worked.. the game launched, did the shader compilation (takes time) and worked smoothly lol

2 years and it still works thank I I are a angel

The first method worked thank you! i thought i would never play that game ever again! also you earned a new sub

After the first three methods, the game won't start due to a System Error. The file "MSVCR100.dll" can't be found. After reinstalling the game, it's still missing. Any tips?

Helpful but only one question 😅 why do you only have one game

I wasn't able to get totally accurate battle simulator to start so this helped thank you!

Nothing helping Man of Medan to stop from closing 2 seconds after I launch it. I don't know what else to do :/

I installed TEST DRIVE 2 UNLIMITED. PLAYEed it but now after 2 days, it is not launching. What can I do.

Damn. What sucks here is that my friends game won’t open and he’s tried like everything. The best he got was the game running at only 1 fps. What else could he do other then wait for 2.2? He’s not gonna factory reset his pc so ye. (Btw I am gonna copy paste this on similar videos too see if help comes)
