    There’s no “extraction”, you literally just navigate to the game folder (or click “game files” in the properties window for the game), and click the .exe file.

    Make a shortcut to it if you want.

    If it’s a game without DRM (yes, those are on Steam too), you don’t need to have Steam open to play it.

      Thanks for the response.

      This reminds me of another issue I ran into. I grabbed the F.E.A.R. pack when it was on sale, but only two games are playable. The OG, and the late latest release.

      I tried every fix the community provided, but nothing worked for the me.

      This is the only time I’ve had this problem, however I’ve played a minute amount of games compared to the avid steam user. I’d imagine plenty of people run into similar issues in other older games.
