Its not a crash or anything like that its just that the when I run the game it does not show on steam that I am playing the game even though I can still play it.

Oh, so you are saying you don’t see - Running appearing next to the game in your Steam Library? Am I understanding correctly now?

Yes thats right. I wonder if its something I can fix by verifying the game cache ? Because this did not happen until today

OK! Sorry for the confusion. To be honest with you, I don’t think that is a Stonehearth issue, but a Steam issue. @Albert is the one who typically does the Steam pushes, so he might no more. Happy to know that you can play the game without issue!

Verifying the game files can’t hurt. I haven’t seen this before, but as jomaxro points out, it sounds like a Steam issue.

Don’t know if this helps at all but when lauching Stonehearth from Steam link (maybe Big Picture Mode) Stonehearth seems to run twice, i hadn’t tested it again but thought maybe it was related if Steam can’t determine what its running…maybe
