I have bought mw2 from dick smith and installed it on my computer however whenever I try to go onto the single player or multiplayer it comes up with the error "Fatal Error steam must be running" and then exits to the desktop.
Thankyou in advance!
Hi,
I speak under correction, but it appears, at least for the multi-player version that you require a STEAM account in order to tun the game - I'm not sure about Single Player Mode though.
Check the system requirements for MW2 on the side of the box, and see if it mentions a STEAM account requirement.
Regards,
Golden
Thankyou for the reply
I know that my computer can run it as I have the same computer as my friend and he can run it.
I also know that I need a steam account but even when steam is open and i am logged on it still shows the error.
Thankyou MrNeeds for your reply and yes I have tried to launch it from steam and also from the steam directory.
Seems that the steam protection dll isn't operating as instructed, have you tried uninstalling steam and re-installing it?
