SlipperyBrick Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 So I don't know if this is an issue everyone is having (or even a Leadwerks issue) but for the past few hours I haven't been able to access my beloved Leadwerks from my Steam library. Everytime I click on Leadwerks in my Steam library Steam instantly crashes and I cannot click on anything else. I'm not 100% sure but I think it's to do with the new Workshop integration on the landing page you get when clicking on Leadwerks from your Steam library although I'm most probably totally incorrect. Screenies (not that they show much): http://gyazo.com/2cb68243989111106b7b31faa965b883 http://gyazo.com/6c2cb90d5e3de731a113229ab0013329 I checked with another game that has Workshop integration (Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Left 4 Dead 2) and I am able to click and select them and I can click on the Workshop Items which load fine. I have uninstalled Steam and re-installed and tried again and the problem persists. I've removed steamui.dll (this was brought up in a google search) and that didn't fix it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan22 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I literally just got the same issue while reading this topic LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouGroove Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 The problem is when there is a Steam problem you can't switch to offline mode, as you must be connected to choose "offline mode", so you're blocked. This is where standalone version is lot more secure system agains any Steam/internet connection failure.. I got same error, no Steam, no LE3 When that happens, this is where you prefer software non dependant on network or provider. 1 Quote Stop toying and make games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 This is a Steam issue. I posted a report to Valve. In the meantime, you can create a shortcut to launch the application like this: 1 Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

gamecreator Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 YouGroove, you don't have to go to Library to go into Offline mode. I believe only going to Library freezes Steam. And I thought it was something weird with the Leadwerks Workshop too as the same icons didn't load for me either but seeing Dan's screenshot changes things, I think. As a sidenote, I tried to access Leadwerks through Big Picture mode but I don't think it can be accessed through the Library there. This is a Steam issue. I posted a report to Valve. In the meantime, you can create a shortcut to launch the application like this: My problem is that I don't think Leadwerks updated properly. I think it stopped about 1% in. Is there a way to try to have it re-download without going into it from Library? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 There's no way for me to diagnose that. Sorry. Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamecreator Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 That's alright. I can still launch the editor. Don't know how it will affect my projects. Hopefully nothing will get bugged. When the Library issue is resolved I can properly redownload it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperyBrick Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Ohhhh almighty Steam Gods, we call upon your power to banish this evil curse that has taken over our Leadwerks! Chant with me everyone! The power of Leadwerks compels you, the power of Leadwerks compels you! EDIT: It didn't work but I think it changed my Windows sounds, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnep71 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I just bought the developer and haven't downloaded it yet and when I click on it in the library, it crashes steam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Valve has been emailed about this. I apologize for the inconvenience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouGroove Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I just bought the developer and haven't downloaded it yet and when I click on it in the library, it crashes steam This must be some Steam servers or other problem on their side, this had already happened in the past, not same error problem, but some other blocking problems. Just wait until they get that fixed to be able to download it. I can launch LE3 Steam version using the default installation shortcut.

shadmar Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I can launch LE3 Steam version using the default installation shortcut. Yes this works very well, no need to click inside steam api then.

Dan22 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 This is really annoying me now, ever since I tried loading leadwerks yesterday my steam keeps crashing with the same reason ;/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Same here Dan. I'm dead in the water with Steam atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouGroove Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 @Rick : Did you tried the shorcut way ? because it just works, you just need to be logged to Steam, than launch LE3 from shortcut. Quote Stop toying and make games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 When I navigate to the Leadwerks.exe and make a shortcut I don't have a Web Document tab to place that data into. Win 8.1 here. Also, this isn't just about LE it's everything. If I try to launch a game from Steam Library it freezes as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ma-Shell Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 When I navigate to the Leadwerks.exe and make a shortcut I don't have a Web Document tab to place that data into. Win 8.1 here. Just rightclick on the desktop -> new -> shortcut -> enter "steam://rungameid/251810" -> give a name -> finish (the single points might be named slightly different since I translated them) EDIT: You can also just take the attached file. (The forum here doesn't allow for shortcuts (.lnk-files), so I had to zip it.) LE-shortcut.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouGroove Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 When I navigate to the Leadwerks.exe and make a shortcut I don't have a Web Document tab to place that data into. Win 8.1 here. This is why i uninstalled Win 8 for two people and installed Win7 for them, Win 8 is so gadget and so confusing. Also, this isn't just about LE it's everything. If I try to launch a game from Steam Library it freezes as well. Yes, you must not launch anything from Steam i think. Could it be LE3 or games, you must launch them from a shortcut.

YouGroove Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I tried to re install LE3, but i have that crash on Steam when going to LE3 software section. Re intalling a game for example don't make Steam crash, so it seams the problem is with LE3 and Steam only.
