Suddenly can't play Lambda Wars

Postby Hayden » Tue Dec 16, 2024 8:18 pm

Outta nowhere, I found I was unable to play Lambda Wars. However earlier this day, I was playing Lambda Wars and I found that I had absolutely no bugs.

It appears that Lambda Wars does start up, however does not start up properly. As the game booster I use (Razer Game Booster, never had any issues with it before), has a small popup near the bottom right corner of my screen that says "Boosting game", a small loading bar that fills up (This does not stop the game from opening at all, it does it in the background, stopping useless passive Applications), then waits 15-30 seconds, and then opens again stating "Returning to normal", which usually comes up after I have closed the game. I have no Lambda Wars processes running in the background after a few checks of the Windows Task Manager.

Steam recognizes the game starts, as my profile picture has a green border before the game gets closed.

Try validating your game cache.

I already have. 2 Files failed to Validate, were downloaded, attempting to play the game yielded no results. I'll try again, though.

Okay, have you tried starting it in windowed mode? Go to launch options and put -windowed in it

I always play it in windowed mode. The settings are already set for Windowed mode.

If you don't see a window/background appearing at all, it's likely not caused by the update directly. You could try some stupid things like restarting Steam or restarting your PC.

Huh. Okay so restarting steam fixed it. For now. Call me underqualified - but from steam seeming to download a relitively large file (Atleast more then 10MB's), I think it was failing to download up date for... Whatever reason. *Shrug* Thanks anyways, Sandern and Sants1
