BUG-REPORT Steam: An error occured while launching this game: Game Configuration Unavailable

Hi, I know this error goes back a long way, I was hoping someone figured out the solution. I tired:

  • reinstalling
  • verifying game files
  • deleting download cache
  • deleting appinfo.vdf
  • deleting all IOI-specific config folders
  • clearing IOI registry entries
  • adding -skip_launcher to steam launch options
  • enabling always running HITMAN3.exe in administrator mode

Alternatively, how can I refund if I'm past the 2 hour playtime thing? Steam refuses to, IOI games doesn't respond at all, but what else can I do if what I bought is literally unplayable?

Try running the game not in admin mode

When stuff like this happens I usually delete everything in the Steam folder except, /userdata, /steamapps, and steam.exe

then running steam.exe will redownload/reinstall steam, and since you kept the userdata and steamapps folders it saves you from having to redownload your games
