How To Fix Steam Games Not Launching or Not Opening

The first one worked thanks man.

I got it! 😊 I was trying restarting many times from gaming mode and didn't help at all, but it start working while I restarted Steamdeck from Desktop mode. First good question is - why? Second good question is why valve don't do some update to fix this problem?

I have done absolutely everything, but regardless, my game still doesn't launch. What happens though is I click play and in the top left corner of my screen a very tiny window border opens, and when I click it, it basically just closes the window in which the game should've started. I'm at a complete loss, I tried everything, and unfortunately, it's only for 1 game.

i just got batman arkham knight and it wont open .i tried everything and it still wont open.Any tips on what to do?

Anyone else having problem with FM24?
Tried everything…

this didn't work.

Doesn’t work I just wanted to play geometry dash lol 😂

Be careful of anti virus software you use mine was the issue

I had to run the game in safe mode

Steam is so lame for this mw2 worked fine I had to open another program so mw2 minimized since then it won’t show

2nd suggestion worked...thanks!!! As a senior and not tech savvy, who is hooked on the game, this was great!

Clearing the cache instantly worked. Thank you!

Thank you for this tutorial, the clear cache method has helped me for Sims 4. Guess I'm not the only one who has issues opening Sims 4 sometimes...

One time, I also tried using the "App Recovery" for the EA Desktop App and it helped me run Sims 4 as well.

Not working :(

This has been a problem on steam for about ten years now, can't believe they still have not fixed this issue!! Anyhow here is a go around with a fix to get around the problem not fix it but get around it... 1 while the game is running but not launching go to task manger find the game exe end the process, once that is done the game should have stopped running, 2 once that is done then go to the verifying files tab, let that run to completion and then the game should run. However this is not a fix, its a go around. You will have to do this every time you want to play the game.

none of these worked :(
