What game? We need alot more info before anyone can help. There are some stickies at the top of this forum telling you what information to include in a tech support request.

Is Steam showing "No Connection" at the bottom of the window?
Is the game in the process of updating? If so, you have to wait until it's finished.
Have you restarted your PC and tried to run the game?
Is the game installed? (no I'm not joking)

The game did not start. There was no message 'error', nothing - only the 'exe' had not released the game. Yesterday was so, although he managed to run the 'exe' in the game folder. But now the night (in Brazil), it did not work anymore. Nothing and I believe to be some communication problem between the game and the Steam software. Unfortunately no message, 'log' error exists. Strange. I ended up uninstalling Steam, but through carelessness, the uninstaller also deleted the folder where your game. I'll have to download it again and install again.

Sorry my english.

- no

-Yes, I have the latest beta update. I've played a lot yesterday and today, including. But now the night (Brazil), the game did not open - I tried several ways and nothing, not even error messages. Yesterday something happened, but it started qdo executable in the root folder of the game, it worked, but now I tried the night and also nothing happened, not rolled.

Have you restarted your PC and tried to run the game?

- yes, many times

Is the game installed? (no I'm not joking)

- please

My english is google translate, sorry.

If you're testing the beta, then I'm fairly sure you shouldn't be posting in the open area's of the forum, only in the devnet area's.

Hopefully a moderator can confirm / deny this and move the post if needed.

No, BETA is good. The problem seems to be with the Steam software and its communication with the game, (the games). I have the Cliffs of Dover, Il2, and also had problem with the executable. It can also be caused by antivirus problem, some blocking software, Malware, I do not know. The problem is that there is no error report, we were in the dark. If it helps, check the latest update of the Steam software and possible compatibility issues ...

If the problem is, as it seems to be, with Steam itself then you will probably need to contact Steam Tech Support to get a solution.

Yes.

Thanks.

Steam no solution

New information: game running JUST in off line STEAM. Crazy...

Post by **Alan Phipps** » Mon, 15. Apr 13, 20:25

Obvious question, but have you opened the Steam Client and then clicked the top left 'Steam' tab, and then clicked on 'Check for Steam Client Updates'?

jeroll3d · Post by **jeroll3d** » Tue, 16. Apr 13, 00:49

Very strange. In offline mode, it works after a few tries. It seems to have to do with timing. The message of Steam: Games of not run after 'Preparing to Launch' and nothing happens. When I switch to offline mode, it works - but not always. Sorry to post this here in the forum. I sent a message to Steam Support and have not answered me. I suspect several things, among them: antivirus ... does not seem to be a problem with Windows or video driver, (I have a nvidia GTX 560 1 gb of Vram and 12 gb of ram on a Icore 5)

Thanks team

Why not register copy of game on profile section, and use no steam exe.
That would bypass steam needed to start game.

jeroll3d · Post by **jeroll3d** » Wed, 17. Apr 13, 01:59

How can I do this, step by step, please (do not speak English).

Post by **Alan Phipps** » Wed, 17. Apr 13, 10:33

Here is the relevant FAQ. Let us know if you can understand it.

No-Steam .exe FAQ.

Other useful Steam FAQs are here.

If you dont understand faq, let me know i will describe process in more detail, but is not hard to do.

Dear friends, I really do not know what happens. Also did not work with the exe nonSteam. I made a decision. I will format the drive and reinstall all the drivers and see my 'antivirus', I use AVG. Anything can be blocking the game exe, and it would be very difficult to know what it is when the game does not 'enter', it also does not generate any log file. I fully understand that it is very difficult to have enough information about this problem and what I'm seeing, it just occurred to me, which proves to be an isolated incident.

However, I want to thank the whole team for the attention of Egosoft.

Will solve this problem. And really love this game and never had problems with it before. After resolving this situation, post the results here, I'm sure that the problem has nothing to do with the game.

Greetings

It may be too late now, but if I had known that you next intended to do a major system reformat and reinstall then I would have first asked you to post your DxDiag (See first Announcement on this forum) to have a look at your system set-up and maybe see what is going wrong. That was going to be my next step of advice anyway if the No-Steam exe did not help.

jeroll3d · Post by **jeroll3d** » Thu, 18. Apr 13, 18:53

Where can I post the DxDiag? (some website for download or in its entirety right here?)

bwf1975 · Post by **bwf1975** » Thu, 18. Apr 13, 19:03

No steam exe, should be easy.
Download x3tc/ap no steam exe.
Unzip file using winzip, z7ip etc.
Inside will be file, x3ap_n, then rename file deleting _n bit, so should read X3ap.
I went to x3 folder, steam/steamapps/common/x3tc
Deleted x3ap exe.
Drop your renamed x3ap no stem exe, into game folder, then use that new exe to start x3ap without the need for steam.

Thanks, but the problem has to do with the game, but with something external to it. I'm trying to solve. First time I ran the diagnostics Dxdiag gave wrong in implementing directdraw. What did work after a few attempts, I managed to create a logo. Now I need to know how to post this here 'log'. I'm reinstalling the drivers for the video card (a GTX 560 nvidia).

Thank you.

Problem solved

Problem was solved by turning the x3AP noSteam as 'administrator'. I appreciate everyone's patience and the help of everyone.
