Game crashes on start, Steam related?

Post by lsc9x »

I can replicate this bug by loading a 3D game via Steam, then closing that game and then launching DW2. The DW2 load screen appears but when I click on the "play" button to start playing the game hangs and never displays the load screen.

In order to "fix" this issue, I have to completely log out of, and shut down Steam, then reload Steam, and then DW2 launches fine and I can play the game.

It's not a show stopping bug because there is a workaround, but it's still annoying and probably something that needs to be fixed.
