Steam Can't Start Games

[Crimvos]

 

The problem started yesterday I think, when Rocket League wouldn't open after just closing it. 
 

Steam will begin to start a game, then tells me "Application Load Error s:0000065432". I also haven't been able to play TESV:SE as it launches the startup menu then crashes and gives me the same error.

I've tried verifying Rocket League, but nothing seems to help. I've restarted Steam, my PC, everything.

 

-Verifying Skyrim doesn't work either. On rare attempts it will start

Specs don't really matter but;

CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 1700X

GPU - NVIDIA ASUS STRIX 1070 

MOBO - ASUS STRIX B450-F

RAM - G.Skill TridentZ RGB 16gb 3000mhz

Looking online it appears to be an issue with steam? close and restart steam, or maybe try reinstalling steam itself, your games should still exist, it looks like its something to do where steam is installed and where the games are installed? https://steamcommunity.com/app/377160/discussions/0/492378265876778212/

 

You can also try to, 

use DDU to wipe and reinstall your graphics drivers,

try reinstalling directx as well?

To speak generally:

It sounds to me like something got corrupted.  It happens.  General move is to uninstall whatever it is that got corrupted and reinstall it.

Could be a bunch of things.  Might be just the location of something.
