Hello Timothy,
thank you for the feedback.
Unfortunately you managed to get yourself an error that is very tricky, it seems to be caused by problem with the Steam, conflict with another program or bad VGA config (usually on Laptops with integrated GPU selected).
Here are some tips that you might try:
- Reinstall Steam
- Check whether it is not blocked by any Anti-Virus or a Firewall.
- If using a Commodo antivirus, please disable it and try to use different one
- If you are using a Spacedesk app please disable it
Above mentioned steps are tips we were able to gather from players who managed to deal with this issue themselves and reported back to us.
If any of that helps, please let me know. Should you come across another solution, please let me know also.
Thank you.
