Can't address the crash-notice error. I've only seen that when using the conventional OOTP shortcut, i.e. non-Steam.

On occasion, though, with Steam I'll have to run the Steam program first, close it or select Play Game from withint the program, then start OOTP in order to get it running. Otherwise, I click on OOTP and nothing. Nothing.

So, two thoughts. 1) You sure you used the Steam shortcut and not your old one? and 2) Maybe try my fix-it and run the Steam program first, then OOTP. See if that clears things up.
