I dunno. As a hail Mary, you could close Steam, delete ClientRegistry.blob in C:Program Files (x86)Steam and then restart Steam. The file will be rebuilt once you launch Steam.

Also make sure the Steam Client Service is running. Win+R, type in services.msc, and look it up. Startup type should be manual.

If it’s still not working, contact Steam support.

Steam must be running to play this game — как исправить ошибку

comment blue

time blue

Клиент Стим для многих игр является неотъемлемой частью, ведь он помогает получать обновления от разработчиков и контролировать честность игрового процесса. Однако, часто программа может выдавать игроку разные ошибки, одной из них становится «Steam must be running to play this game». Сегодня мы расскажем как можно исправить этот баг.

Steam must be running to play this game

Ошибка Steam must be running to play this game

Причины сбоя

Стим отказывается запускаться вследствие программных сбоев. Если перевести сообщения, то становится понятна причина — клиент Стим нужно запустить. Таким образом, по невыясненным причинам происходит отказ в доступе к утилите. Несмотря на активацию ярлыка, сама программа не запускается. Из этого выходит, что ей что-то мешает. Это могут быть битые файлы в корневой папке, антивирусы, вирусы и т. д.

Устраняем баг

Если у вас сама программа Steam отсутствует, тогда её следует установить и авторизовать свой аккаунт. Если же приложение уже есть на компьютере, тогда проделайте нижеописанное.

Steam must be running to play this game v igre Warfare

Ошибка запуска в Modern Warfare 2

Рестарт

Именно перезапуск Стима чаще всего помогаеи в решении бага. Однако, есть очень важный момент – отключите его процессы в самом диспетчере задач. Иногда при закрытии утилиты она по-прежнему продолжает работать в ОС. Кликнете по «Завершить дерево процессов». Лишь после этого пробуйте снова запуститься.

Собранные любителями моды постоянно выдают баги. Деинсталлируйте все улучшения для графики, интерфейса и для всего остального, даже если внесенные изменения кажутся незначительными. Пользуйтесь только официальными патчами и избегайте сторонний софт с сомнительной репутацией.

Если баг в PAYDAY 2

Игра проблемная и это признают многие геймеры. При ошибке «Steam must be running to play this game» деинсталлируйте ее полностью со всеми директориями. Затем скачайте лицензионную версию и снова ее инсталлируйте на ПК.

Comodo Antivirus и подобный софт

Именно антивирусы фирмы Comodo Group вступают в конфликты с играми. Удалите их и установите другой антивирус. После инсталляции новой защитной программы просканируйте винчестер на наличие троянов. Они также могут блокировать доступ к интернету некоторым программам на ПК.

Другие варианты решений

Напоследок проверьте доступ к интернету. Без него невозможно зайти на свой аккаунт в Стиме. Скорость передачи данных должна быть высокой – протестируйте сеть на онлайн сервисах, например интернетометр от Яндекса.

Бывают моменты, когда в описании ошибки указан и сбой библиотеки — steamapi_init failed. Вот некоторое видео-пояснение по обходу данной проблемы через кряк.

I hope this is not a bannable offense:

You can download a ‘crack’ for the game and launch it that way.

Or just play in offline mode.

It is an illegal, free version from the Game that allows you to play a Game without buying it.
But it contains some risks like Trojans if you download it from «suspicious» websites and also by some punishment by the law if somebody recognizes that you have downloaded Cracked software because cracked software is Illegal and I do not recommend you to try it. Dont download illegal software!
Hope I could help with this

I think running it in offline mode should work, if not restart Steam and if that wont work too restart you PC and after that maybe you could try to «Repair» your game by right-clicking in your steam libary on «Properties», then below one of the tabs you should see the option to verify your game for issues
Have a nice day 🙂

The most obvious answer would be to run Steam when playing the game.
If the client is running and you get this error, copy Steam.exe to the same directory where the game’s EXE file is. I know it sounds strange, but for some reason, it tends to work.

Hey Fletcher, according to this

you have to run Steam itself as Administrator (Rightclick on Steam/Run as Administrator)

hey there i took a small break from this headache, i tried to find this file and i could not find it what so ever. any ideas on why?

Una solución puede ser que desactives el apartado de “modo compatibilidad” y “ejecutar como administrador” en el .exe del Resident Evil 4 el cual se encuentra en “C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonResident Evil 4Bin32”. Un saludo

Чаще всего Steam must be running to play this game возникает в пиратских играх. Если у вас пиратка, выход только один – купить лицензию. Если же проблема возникает с лицензионными играми, решение зависит от причины проблемы.

Если перевести данное сообщение, оно звучит так – “Стим должен быть запущен для запуска этой игры”. То есть по какой-либо причине происходит отказ в доступе к клиенту. А значит ему что-то мешает в запуске. Вариантов может быть много – вирусы и антивирусы, брандмауэры, битые файлы в корневой папке и т.д.

Рестарт с выключением

Сам по себе перезапуск приложения не помогает избавиться от проблемы, так как при выключении приложения оно продолжает работать в системе. Поэтому после выключения необходимо зайти в диспетчер задач и выключить все процессы, связанные с утилитой. Выявить их можно по названию. В крайнем случае можно перезапустить ПК.

Удаление модов

Чаще всего ошибка возникает после установки сторонних модов, улучшающих производительность, графику и т.д. Вспомните, все, что вы устанавливали и удалите. Но, имейте в виду, что иногда они не удаляются полностью в автоматическом режиме. Возможно придется «подчистить» файлы вручную.

Переустановка игры

Некоторые игры проблемные сами по себе. К примеру, баг имеется в PayDay 2, что признают сами разработчики. В таком случае необходимо полностью деинсталлировать игру, подчистить вручную все директории. Затем надо скачать лицензионную версию и заново ее установить.

Антивирусы и прочий софт

Если у вас установлен антивирус Comodo или другой софт от этого разработчика, то 99% вероятности того, что проблема заключается именно в нем. Удалите в таком случае все, что связано с Comodo и установите антивирус от другого производителя.

Также проверьте компьютер на наличие троянов, зачастую они становятся причиной данной проблемы.

Если все перечисленные действия не помогли, попробуйте зайти в корневую папку Steam и удалить в ней папку «appcache» и «blob».

 Что касается ошибки «Steam must be started and in online mode», Стим просит, чтобы вы авторизировались в системе, чтобы доказать, что аккаунт, в котором вы играете, принадлежит вам, а не, к примеру, другу. Ошибка возникает обычно в том случае, если вы длительное время играли в автономном режиме. То есть это не критичная ошибка.
