Hello
! --**Problem solved**-- ! -edit
Friend of mine has a starting problem with the game.
When trying to launch Natural selection 2 via steam, steam gives him error saying "application is already running, failed to start the game"
- Game worked just fine yesturday, nothing was installed into computer between yesturday & today.
- No mods installed or even being downloaded.
- Uninstalled ns2, logged out of steam and then logged back & install again, no effect.
- Computer & Steam has been restarted several times, no effect.
- Deleted whole steam config folder, no effect.
- Tried to run NS2.exe & Steam.exe as administrator, no effect.
- Verified game cache via steam, no effect.
- Steam is up to date.
- Any other steam game works FINE.
- Steam uninstalled & installed again, no effect.
Any suggestion is welcome, please help

This counts for ns2.exe aswell as any launchpad application.
It has a neck of destroying a lot of stuff it shouldn't touch aswell as installing in user profiles to bypass installation rights.
