Every one of my games is saying 'Failed to start game (missing executable)' since upgrading to Windows 10.
Hey all,
Upgraded to Windows 10 this morning. Every game I try to launch comes up with the same error:
Failed to start game (missing executable)
If I go to 'verify cache' on any of them the whole game re-downloads. I just redownloaded Race the Sun (only ~150mb) and it now launches. My steam apps folder contains all the games but for some reason Steam wants to reget all the files for everything again. Any ideas that will save me having to redownload every one of my games on crappy Australian internet?
Solved: For some reason Steam wants to look for my games in ...SteamGamesCommon rather than ...SteamGamesSteam (X) which is where all my games previously downloaded to with Win 7 and 8. Simply cutting them all from 'Steam (x)' and pasting them into 'Common' made everything launch again. Very weird.
