Hi, when I try to lunch the game I get an error message: “Steam must be running to play this game”. My install dir appears to be, by default: steam/steamapps/common/call of duty modern warfare 2. As a comparison, when I create a shortcut from steam it’s different: Steam\steam.exe -applaunch 10180
I tried to paste this path in xml file, but it doesnt work.
Any ideas?
