Some steam games are failing to load.
Some steam games are failing to load.
The Problem - A few of my Steam titles: Thief Gold, King's Quest (all), Space Quest (all), Quake II: Ground Zero & The Reckoning, and Gothic 1 (even though I can’t launch them, I can view the title screen). When I press play, they seem to suggest starting, but if they do, a short black screen appears before the crash. What I’ve done so far is checking the cache for each game; it shows “x files failed validation and will be reacquired,” but that doesn’t help. I’m aware some of these are available on GOG, and eventually I might get them.
