i have 4 games:-
1) gris - it is a cracked game by codex and it has cracked steam files in game directory
2) final fantasy 7 - an original steam game
3) ni no kuni 2 - an original steam game
4) elmia - an original steam game
if i run gris and steam is running in the background then i am unable to run final fantasy 7 and ni no kuni 2 and i am stuck on the steam popup which says preparing game. the popup shows, then goes away, then comes back, then goes away and it's stuck in a loop and the games dont start. i need to completely exit steam by closing it from the icons in the lower right and then i have to reopen steam and then both steam games work when i run them
if steam is not running in the background when i am playing gris then final fantasy 7 and ni no kuni 2 will work when i open steam. if a cracked game doesnt have cracked steam files then it doesnt affect steam if it's running in the background and i can play steam games after i exit the cracked game. the weird thing is that not all steam games are affected by gris if steam is running in the background when i am playing gris. elmia works ok and it starts after i exit gris
what is going on and why am i having this weird issue? it started happening yesterday. i have been playing a mixture of cracked games and original steam games for the past 10 years and i have never had this issue
steam is frequently getting updated and recently they redesigned the library gui. i don't know. it look like that the latest version of steam doesnt work well with cracked games that have cracked steam files
