Error Code 80 On Startup

Post » Wed Sep 01, 2010 4:34 pm

When I launch the game (Fallout: New Vegas) from the shortcut or from actual steam on the start up I get an error code 80. I cannot find anything on the internet (or even in these forums) about error code 80 on start up. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem along with the solution. It doesn't even attempt to start up (no flicker of directX, no nothing), so I shouldn't need a DXdiag.

Thank you,
NOX

Try using the words 'error code 80 steam' on google and you will find enough results.

By searching for a minute I found out the following:
- It looks like it is a generic steam error used for multiple types of errors.
- There is no real fix, since the exact cause is unkown.
- To play a game, simply exit and restart steam.
- Some people restarted their pc and the error was gone.

Now I haven't investigated this thoroughly, but please try the last two and post if you can now play or not.
Next time you could also post which things you have already tried to fix an error.
