Some valve games won't open on steam
For a short time I couldn't play TF2 or LFD2. When I attempt to start them, Steam plays the button but my screen doesn't respond and it seems to freeze. It probably relates to how these games are built. I've tested different launch methods like -novid and -windowed, but those only opened a temporary window that crashed. I checked my TF2 files, reinstalled the game, disabled antivirus temporarily, and even changed Steam folder exceptions. Updated my gameinfo.txt with another source and it fixed everything. This resolved both TF2 and LFD2.
I've kept my CPU at a lower voltage for a while, and everything has worked well so far.
Have you attempted to remove the game's cache, check the files, or reinstall Steam?
