Can't launch game from steam

Hartassen · 04-14-2012, 03:52 AM

Trying to launch TWS2 from steam after not having played it for quite some time results in the game saying I had to install a new version of adobe. So I did. Now whenever I click the play button on steam it gives me the options (play, encyclopedia, benchmark etc etc) clicking play game results in a tiny box appearing saying "performing first time setup, installing 1 of 1". Then nothing happens. I've verified the game cache twice, but it still won't function. Since I threw away my box I don't want to reinstall considering how large this game is.

Any tips on how to fix this?

gfx_first_run false; # gfx_first_run <bool>, First time application run #

Go into your 'preferences.script' file and make sure your file name (11th down the list) says 'false'. Might work.

Uninstall that version of Adobe perhaps?
