Thanks for the responses....I have tried both accessing my OOTP17 from the Steam app first (games list, OOTp17, play)...then from the games' shortcut on my PC desktop. I've deleted that shortcut and,from the exe inside the actual game folder, created another shortcut. NOTHING works.My drivers are updated, all other steam games work and all other games work. It's a problem with the game itself.I do NOT want to go through uninstall/reinstall again bec of all the work I've done to this point. The game worked FINE until a couple of days ago.I even uninstalled my saves games (three seasons I was replaying) after backing them up. Still cant get to the game...crash to desktop and same message EVERY time.Do the DEVs ever respond here to issues like this?Steam has not responded to my issue,unfortunately.*****just checked on the Steam discussion board for OOTp17...apparently, other players w/ ATI Radeon cards are experiencing the SAME ISSUE,,,their exe file suddenly stopped working a couple of days ago...latest drivers, etc, do not help. AND it's most likely not a Steam issue,either. Has nothing to do whatsoever with AV running in background...it's a game problem with Radeon cards that DEVs I HOPE are fixing. A reply from the DEVs here would be ncie. I tried "filling out a ticket" on the OOTP site, but I get an error message there,as well!This is the first year I've purchased OOTP after playing APBA-BBW for decades. I hope it won't be the last, as I truly enjoy what OOTP has to offer.
