I've been launching my game (Steam copy) directly from the dx11 .exe file in the bjavascript: void(0)in folder just fine, for months, including just this morning. I've always launched it from the exe while Steam was open, just fine. Now I am trying to launch the game and it will not start at all. The non-dx11 exe doesn't work. Nothing opens, there's no load-in and crash. Just nothing.

BUT I did notice, every time I try to launch the game, it generates two separate txt files: network-[string of numbers] and gold-[string of numbers.] None of these files have any text in them; they're empty. But a new pair appears any time i try to launch the game.

Weirdly it launches just fine when I have steam closed. I'd rather not close steam, because that's how I take screenshots.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thank you.
