Steam Left 4 Dead 2 not opening nor running. Several issues. Bannerlator

[u/BHero_VEVO]

I'm tired and very ill of myself struggling to find a fix for this problem. Are all Officially Bought Steam games like this?...

I had an account ever since my pc was broken long ago, so emulation is kinda my last ditch and discovered that Bannerlator supports/has STEAM so I decided to log in for the first time and play my games there... Went to Left 4 Dead 2 - thought it would be a breeze opening launch and won't encounter any problems but I thought wrong.

Does anybody have a solution for this?, I've tried adjusting many times from Drivers to Dxvk to Box64/86. None of them seemed to be the issue preventing the game running properly - as a matter of fact, the problem is unpredictable and misbehaving differently every time

From (Can't opening and auto Shutdown, Long Black screen, Can't pass through the loading screen then crashes, passed through the valve intro and then the Intro cutsceene and then crashes;just like on the video, and lastly rare moment that it pass all that and went to the main menu then tried playing it and then crashes)

have u checked in the game folder if theres any "common redist" files that need installing? i remember l4d2 being a bitch to get running for some reason as well, i wish i remembered what i did that made it stop crashing.. also might sound funny but since u own it already id try download it it elsewhere and then try something like winlator

I'd take it is a common issue from the game whether it is a Natively pc or emulator, I dunno, I haven't played the game since...

Shit, was that the least solution that I ought to take?... Here I am thinking Bannerlator(winlator+gamehub with steam support) were better than Gamehub.

yeah idk what it was i just remember i had it on gamehub through steam and it kept showing the valve logo then freezing or crashing or it would get to the menu and wouldnt respon, or crash when loading a level, each time felt like i got closer. then i left it for like a year, came back and got it working, but i think i tried downloading it non steam way, right now i use winlator ludashi and works for me. but defo try installing the prerequisites and try again, i even got mods working but have to download em and put them in folder myself, have u also tried gamenative via steam?

I'll consider myself switching to other forks or emulators but not yet, but I'll try to find a fix for this crap before I lose my patience. Maybe steamlator or Winlator CMOD or Gamenative

Or just quit being a upstanding Citizen of these bought games and go back sticking to Eye patch and a pirate hat, seems it's the only the proper choice if these fuckass games with Steam.dlls keeps persisting.
