This has been driving me mad. I have tried so many solutions to fix this issue i have used the cmd sfc /scannow solution does not work says there is no file integrity violations i have tried replacing these files (3DMGame.ini (New file) steam_api.dll and Steamclient.dll. Both games are a stand alone version not purchased on steam. And Dying Light is version 1.12.2. It also happens on COD Modern Warfare stand alone version Update 2. But this does not happen on all games i install. I just cannot seem to find a solution. The files are verified and correctly installed so why cant i play? But i have not had this issue on any steam games. I recently bought a new hard drive a Toshiba X300 6TB Desktop 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200rpm Internal Hard Drive and all my games are installed on there. I have also repaired all the Microsoft c++ redistributables and direct x. I have also tried to Install/Launch using compatibility for windows 7 and Running as administrator but that usually doesn't help.http://
