When you encounter problems with Steam games, a good first step to take is to verify the game cache integrity. To do this, right-click the game in your library and find the context menu option ‘Properties’, then find the option ‘Verify integrity of game cache’. This will check your local copy of the game for errors or broken files, and redownload them if necessary.
