Steam 拥有一个包含 50,000 多种视频游戏的令人难以置信的多样化库，但它不能保证您能够毫无问题地运行每一个游戏。不同的硬件配置、操作系统之间的不兼容以及软件冲突等因素可能会阻止游戏在您的 PC 或Mac上正常运行。
但是，如果您的其中一款Steam游戏无法启动，那么您可能需要通过以下解决方案列表来启动并运行它。
无论是您刚刚安装的视频游戏，还是您之前畅玩的游戏，我们建议您按照出现的顺序浏览以下解决方案。
1.强制退出 Steam 游戏(Force-Quit Steam Game)并重试(Try Again)
有时，Steam游戏会无缘无故地在启动时挂起。发生这种情况时，在尝试重新启动之前完全从内存中强制退出可能会有所帮助。
强制退出 Steam 游戏 (PC) (Force-Quit Steam Game (PC) )
1. 右键单击任务栏并选择任务管理器(Task Manager)。
2. 选择更多详情(More details)。
3. 在进程(Processes )选项卡下选择游戏相关进程，然后选择结束任务(End task)。
强制退出 Steam 游戏 (Mac)(Force-Quit Steam Game (Mac))
1.通过 Spotlight Search搜索并打开活动监视器（按(Activity Monitor )Command + Space）。
2.在CPU(CPU )选项卡中选择游戏相关进程。
3. 选择窗口顶部的停止按钮。(Stop )
2.重启你的电脑
如果强制退出仍然导致游戏卡住，您应该通过重新启动 PC 或Mac继续。在大多数情况下，这应该可以解决 Steam 内的任何故障或阻止(Steam)Steam游戏启动的操作系统。
3. 应用挂起的更新
(Newer)Steam客户端的更新包括大量错误修复，有助于修复特定视频游戏标题的已知问题。要更新Steam，请打开Steam菜单并选择检查 Steam 客户端更新(Check for Steam Client Updates)。
此外，您必须确保Steam在开发人员发布任何补丁时立即更新出现故障的视频游戏。为此，请打开Steam 库(Steam Library)，右键单击或按住 Control 键单击视频游戏，然后选择属性(Properties)。然后，切换到更新(Updates)侧选项卡并选择始终保持此游戏更新(Always keep this game updated)。
4. 检查视频游戏要求
如果您的计算机无法满足运行游戏所需的最低系统要求（例如处理速度阈值、可用物理内存或兼容视频卡），则Steam游戏可能根本无法启动。(Steam)
您可以在任何游戏的Steam(Steam)商店页面底部的系统要求(System Requirements)部分找到该信息。如果您的 PC 或Mac不受支持，请按照以下说明申请 Steam 退款(request Steam for a refund)。
5.以管理员身份运行(Administrator)游戏(Game)（仅限 PC）
以提升的权限运行Steam视频游戏是另一个有助于使视频游戏正确启动的修复程序。
为此，请打开文件资源管理器(File Explorer)并转到本地磁盘 (C:)(Local Disk (C:)) >程序文件 (x86)(Program Files (x86)) > Steam > SteamApps > common。然后(Follow)打开与游戏相关的文件夹。然后，找到它的主要可执行文件，右键单击它，然后选择Run as administrator。
如果有帮助，您可能希望将游戏设置为自动以管理员身份运行。您可以通过右键单击游戏的可执行文件，选择Properties并选中(Properties)Run this program as an administrator旁边的框来完成此操作。
完成此操作后，游戏应始终以管理员身份运行，包括通过Steam客户端直接启动游戏时。
6.以兼容模式运行(Compatibility Mode)游戏(Game)（仅限 PC）
如果您在运行Windows 10的 PC 上玩相对较旧的视频游戏，您可以尝试在兼容模式下运行它。
为此，请右键单击视频游戏的可执行文件并选择Properties。然后，在Compatibility选项卡下，选中(Compatibility)Run this program in compatible mode(Run this program in compatibility mode)旁边的框，然后选择Windows 8。
如果这没有什么不同，请在同一屏幕中选择运行兼容性疑难解答选项。(Run compatibility troubleshooter )这应该可以帮助您确定必须选择哪个版本的操作系统才能让游戏在您的计算机上运行。
7. 更新 Windows/macOS
由于Windows或 macOS的问题， Steam游戏也可能无法启动。(Steam)解决此问题的最佳方法是应用任何挂起的操作系统更新。
更新视窗(Update Windows)
打开“开始(Start )”菜单，然后转到“设置”(Settings ) > “更新和安全(Update & Security)” > “ Windows 更新”(Windows Update)。然后，选择检查更新(Check for updates)。假设您看到任何更新，请选择下载并安装(Download and install)以应用它们。
此外，选择查看可选更新(View optional updates)以应用挂起的硬件驱动程序更新，例如视频卡。
更新 macOS(Update macOS)
打开Apple菜单并转到系统偏好设置(System Preferences)>软件更新(Software Update)。如果您看到任何挂起的更新，请选择立即更新(Update Now)。
如果您在更新 macOS 时遇到任何问题，请按照以下方法解决(here’s how you can fix that)。
8.Update/Roll Back Drivers（仅限 PC）
只要您使操作系统保持最新，您的 PC 应该会自动安装新的图形驱动程序。但是查看显卡制造商的网站（NVIDIA、AMD或Intel ）始终是一个好主意，因为您经常会在这些网站上找到最新的驱动程序版本。
但是，如果问题是在安装一组新驱动程序后开始的，您可能需要回滚它们(roll them back)。为此，请右键单击“开始(Start)”按钮并选择“设备管理器(Device Manager)” 。然后，展开显示适配器(Display adapters)并选择属性(Properties)选项。最后，切换到Driver选项卡并选择Roll Back Driver。
9. 验证 Steam 游戏完整性
当Steam(Steam)游戏无法启动时，您可以通过验证出现故障的视频游戏安装的完整性来排除文件损坏。Steam客户端提供了内置的方法来帮助解决这个问题。
首先调出Steam 库(Steam Library)。然后，右键单击或按住 Control 单击视频游戏并选择Properties。然后切换到本地文件(Local Files )侧选项卡。最后，选择验证游戏文件的完整性(Verify integrity of game files)。
10.禁用第三方防病毒软件(Antivirus Software)
您是否在 Windows 10 计算机上使用第三方防病毒软件？如果是这样，请尝试暂时禁用它。然后，尝试重新启动有问题的Steam游戏。如果这有助于启动您的Steam游戏，请重新激活防病毒实用程序，但将游戏添加到其豁免程序列表中。
11. 离线播放
尝试在Steam 的离线模式下(Steam’s Offline mode)玩视频游戏。这应该有助于它克服因连接到 Steam 服务器而产生的任何问题。
为此，请打开Steam菜单并选择脱机(Go Offline)。然后，从您的Steam 库(Steam Library)中启动游戏。
如果您想稍后将 Steam 切换回(Steam)在线模式(Online)，请再次打开Steam菜单并选择在线(Go Online)。
12.迁移到不同的位置
将游戏转移到计算机上的其他位置是另一种可以提供帮助的修复方法。只需打开您的Steam 库(Steam Library)，右键单击或按住 Control 单击视频游戏，然后选择属性(Properties)。然后，切换到Local Files侧选项卡并选择Move install folder。
13.重新安装视频游戏
如果上述修复均无效，则您可能正在处理损坏的视频游戏安装，只有新下载才能修复。
首先调出您的Steam 库(Steam Library)。然后，右键单击或按住 Control 单击视频游戏并选择卸载(Uninstall)。通过重新启动您的PC来遵循这一点。接下来，在Steam 库(Steam Library)中找到视频游戏并选择安装(Install)。
Steam 游戏已修复
上面的修复应该已经帮助你修复了一个错误的Steam视频游戏，它拒绝在你的 PC 或Mac上打开。但是，如果您仍然遇到问题，您可能需要尝试对 Steam 客户端本身进行故障排除(try troubleshooting the Steam client itself)。或者，联系 Steam 支持(contact Steam Support)。
Steam Game Won’t Launch? 13 Fixes to Start Gaming Again
Steam boasts an incredibly diverse library of 50,000+ video games, but it offers no guarantee that you’ll be able to run every one of them without issues. Faсtors such as varying hardware confіgurations, incompatibilities between operating systemѕ, and conflicting software can prevеnt gameѕ from working correctly on your PC or Mac.
However, if one of your Steam games won’t launch, working your way through the list of solutions below may just be what you need to get it up and running.
Whether it’s a video game you just installed or a title you had no trouble playing previously, we recommend you go through the following solutions in the order that they appear.
1. Force-Quit Steam Game and Try Again
Occasionally, a Steam game can hang at launch for no apparent reason. When that happens, completely force-quitting it from memory before attempting another shot at relaunching might help.
Force-Quit Steam Game (PC)
1. Right-click the taskbar and select Task Manager.
2. Select More details.
3. Pick the game-related process under the Processes tab and select End task.
Force-Quit Steam Game (Mac)
1. Search for and open the Activity Monitor via Spotlight Search (press Command + Space).
2. Select the game-related process within the CPU tab.
3. Select the Stop button at the top of the window.
2. Restart Your Computer
If force-quitting still results in the game getting stuck, you should continue by restarting your PC or Mac. In most cases, that should take care of any glitches within Steam or the operating system preventing the Steam game from launching.
3. Apply Pending Updates
Newer updates to the Steam client include numerous bug fixes that help fix known issues with specific video game titles. To update Steam, open the Steam menu and select Check for Steam Client Updates.
Additionally, you must ensure that Steam updates the malfunctioning video game immediately whenever the developer releases any patches. To do that, open the Steam Library, right-click or control-click the video game, and select Properties. Then, switch to the Updates side-tab and select Always keep this game updated.
4. Check Video Game Requirements
A Steam game may not start at all if your computer fails to meet the minimum system requirements (such as a processing speed threshold, available physical memory, or a compatible video card) needed to run it.
You can find that information within the System Requirements section at the bottom of any game’s Steam store page. If your PC or Mac isn’t supported, here’s how to request Steam for a refund.
5. Run Game as Administrator (PC Only)
Running a Steam video game with elevated privileges is another fix that can help get a video game to launch correctly.
To do that, open File Explorer and head over to Local Disk (C:) > Program Files (x86) > Steam > SteamApps > common. Follow by opening the folder related to the game. Then, locate its main executable file, right-click it, and select Run as administrator.
In case that helps, you might want to set the game to run as an administrator automatically. You can do that by right-clicking the game’s executable file, selecting Properties, and checking the box next to Run this program as an administrator.
Once you do that, the game should always run as an administrator, including when you launch it directly via the Steam client.
6. Run Game in Compatibility Mode (PC Only)
If you’re playing a relatively old video game on a PC running Windows 10, you can try running it in Compatibility Mode.
To do that, right-click the video game’s executable file and select Properties. Then, under the Compatibility tab, check the box next to Run this program in compatibility mode and choose Windows 8.
If that doesn’t make a difference, select the Run compatibility troubleshooter option within the same screen. That should help you figure out what version of the operating system you must choose for the game to work on your computer.
7. Update Windows/macOS
A Steam game may also fail to launch due to issues with Windows or macOS. The best way to fix that is to apply any pending operating system updates.
Update Windows
Open the Start menu and go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update. Then, select Check for updates. Suppose you see any updates, select Download and install to apply them.
Also, select View optional updates to apply pending hardware driver updates—e.g., video card.
Update macOS
Open the Apple menu and go to System Preferences > Software Update. If you see any pending updates, select Update Now.
If you have any trouble updating macOS, here’s how you can fix that.
8. Update/Roll Back Drivers (PC Only)
Your PC should automatically install new graphics drivers as long as you keep the operating system up-to-date. But it’s always a good idea to check the video card manufacturer’s website—NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel—since that’s where you’ll often find the latest driver releases as soon as they become available.
However, if the issue started after installing a fresh set of drivers, you might want to roll them back. To do that, right-click the Start button and select Device Manager. Then, expand Display adapters and choose the Properties option. Finally, switch to the Driver tab and select Roll Back Driver.
9. Verify Steam Game Integrity
You can rule out file corruption when a Steam game won’t launch by verifying the integrity of a malfunctioning video game installation. The Steam client provides built-in means to help with that.
Start by bringing up the Steam Library. Then, right-click or control-click the video game and select Properties. Follow that by switching to the Local Files side tab. Finally, select Verify integrity of game files.
10. Disable Third-Party Antivirus Software
Do you use third-party antivirus software on your Windows 10 computer? If so, try disabling it temporarily. Then, attempt to relaunch the problematic Steam game. If that helps with launching your Steam game, re-activate the antivirus utility but add the game to its list of exempted programs.
11. Play in Offline Mode
Try playing the video game in Steam’s Offline mode. That should help it overcome any issues stemming from connectivity to Steam’s servers.
To do that, open the Steam menu and select Go Offline. Then, follow by launching the game from your Steam Library.
If you want to switch Steam back to Online mode later, open the Steam menu again and select Go Online.
12. Migrate to a Different Location
Shifting the game to a different location on your computer is another fix that can help. Just bring up your Steam Library, right-click or control-click the video game, and select Properties. Then, switch to the Local Files side tab and choose Move install folder.
13. Reinstall the Video Game
If none of the fixes above worked, you might be dealing with a corrupted video game installation that nothing but a new download can fix.
Begin by bringing up your Steam Library. Then, right-click or control-click the video game and select Uninstall. Follow that by restarting your PC. Next, locate the video game within the Steam Library and choose Install.
Steam Game Fixed
The fixes above should’ve helped you fix a faulty Steam video game that refuses to open on your PC or Mac. However, if you continue to experience issues, you may want to try troubleshooting the Steam client itself. Or, contact Steam Support.
