One Steam Game Won't Load
I have many Steam games. One of them is Fallout 4. I have been playing it alot since it came out. But today I can't get it to load. All I get is a small screen that says;preparing to load game, but it never loads. Can you tell me what is happening? Could it be because of the new update?

The best you can do is try to "unclog" it:
- Cancel the "preparing to sit here forever" box.
- Properly close Steam. If during closing it hangs on syncing, you've found ONE of your [possible] problems.
++ If the sync gets stuck, open Task Manager, locate Steam and Kill/Delete it.
- Re-launch Steam. Click the Steam taskbar icon to see if it displays your last played games.
++ If it does not, Properly close Steam again and reboot your system.
- If everything looks fine, try to launch your game.
