Hey guys sorry to be seeking tech support from you here, but I have suddenly encountered a problem with steam. I've been playing Jedi Academy on there for a few months now without any problems but suddenly today when I'm trying to run the game the 'launching game...' window just flashes on and on forever. I've tried validating game files, restarting Steam and my PC and reinstalling the game.

What gives? Has anyone ever run into some crappy problem like this?

I have this problem with.........well, everything for a few weeks now, still not solved it either, so any help here would be nice.

*Rant* Why do devs have to climb into bed with steam? I've got physical boxed copies of Empire:TW, Napoleon:TW, Shogun 2:TW, Company of Heroes and Civilisation V, which, for some reason, require goddamn steam to run. I just want to play offline, I dont give a shit about friendslists/steam community/clouds, I live in England, I'm sick of clouds! */rant*

Well the situation is resolved for me. I installed some Windows 7 updates and everything seems to be back to normal for me.
