Game will not start on Steam

Since installing the patch I am getting the missing executable error on Steam.

I have requested Steam support and jumped through their hoops is there any way to bypass Steam or delete the patch ?

Any help will be appreciated

If you opt back out of the hotfix branch, Steam should download the regular beta files again.

I am pretty sure it was a Steam problem (their crack support team has not replied to my email). It wasn't a crash, the game just wouldn't start

I re-opted for the patch and it works fine now so I can't see it being a GCIII bug. Heck it might even be on me. I might have made a bad mouse click or some such.

If you still want me to submit a ticket I will, but since no one else has had a similar problem and I can't duplicate the problem, it would probably not be worth y'all's time.

You are right, there doesn't seem to be a need for a ticket, thank you for the update.
