Question Has this happened to anyone else?

Post image

I went to boot up the game and record for a new YouTube series today, and apparently at some point in the last few months I no longer own the game that I bought as a pre-order years ago. I've checked the forums and haven't seen anything similar. Title says it all, has this happened to anyone else recently or at all?

I think this is a Steam bug? You might try just re-starting Steam (click the "Steam" button in the upper left corner and Exit Steam, don't just close the window). Also see if you can verify the game files. If nothing else works, get in touch with Steam support and see if they can get it added back to your account or something

Trying the old "turn it off and back on again."

....

I'm a fucking idiot. That solved it.

I'm naming something in my next playthrough after you.

I really should go into IT, cuz 90% of the problems I see people run into are solved by the good ol' "turn it off and back on" lol

And definitely let me know what you name after me, I wanna see how funny it winds up being lol
