a friend gave me a game via external hard drive last night, I installed it, everything looked good, but when I try to play it Steam gives me an error (the 'ole "application load error 5:00000065434")
I've seen some people say to add the game to the Non-Steam Games section of Steam, that didn't rid me of the error. also tried giving administrative access, aswell as completely turning off steam via ctrl alt del end processing it, but no luck with either of those.
I think the reason my friend had no trouble playing the game is because he doesn't have Steam installed due to it crippling his computer when running.
any advice would be greatly appreciated! thanks tl community
p.s. the game is Fallout New Vegas if that holds any relevance but I think I've heard of this issue coming up with other games aswell.

My Fallout NV box says:
"Requires Internet Connection And Free Steam Account To Activate"
How can your friend run the game without installing steam and having a legit version?
And if it is installed on an external HDD doesn't mean the game is portable, if there are some crucial DLL files stored in the windows folder on C:\ these files fail to load, and you get an error.

Try unplugging your Ethernet cable / wireless adapter and then try to run it.
I doubt this will fix it, it sounds like what the above poster mentioned.

I don't think you can, the game was installed on your friends computer which is why he can play it. I'm not sure if you'll be able to.

Steam is authentication, if it's legit and you are just using his account (which will get it locked already happened to me and we were only sharing down the street o_o;; ) just re download the game from his account. If it's pirated well then it's probably not going to work until you get a crackl, or your legit steam running is interferering with the crack. DId you forget to place the crack into the game directory?

If you gonna play a game without paying for it you might as well do it right>>> get my drift?
