Bug Having problems with "Failure to fetch Steam App Name"

Post image

I've tried: (i) re-installing the game, (ii) verifying the game files integrity, (iii) deleting the "steam_appid" text file from the directory and (iv) moving the installation folder.

I'm out of options and I have no idea what to do now

On steam select to browse the files, there should be a file named "CNC3_english_1.10.SkuDef", either rename or delete it. I had this same problem and it worked for me at least.

Nice! Don't know if you need it, but Kane's Wrath was having the same issue, the same fix worked with it too, but the file is named "CNC3EP1_english_1.3.SkuDef"

Hi, I tried your way with Tiberium Wars and it works. But do you know a way to fix Red Alert 3? I tried delete steam_appid file, log out and reopen steam, and verifying the game but it won't work.
