I recently purchased UT3 through steam(I know. mistake #1), and after I finished downloading it, I went to play it, and the "Launching UT3" box would fade, and nothing would happen. I verified the game cache, so I don't think thats the problem.

Any ideas?
 
I've had nothing but good experiences with STEAM ever since CS 1.6. (I got CSS, TF2, DODS, HL2 + episodes, Portal, Prey, etc.)

You could try doing that file checking thing (right-click the game, find the button) or re-downloading the game. This might be a UT3-specific issue but generally games don't have this problem unless it's a problem on your end like not having a computer good enough to run the game, having spyware, etc.
 
Its definitely not my computer, and I've already verified and redownloaded the game.
 
Somethings kicking it out of the running programs, I had this happen with Vice City but never got around to emailing Valve about it because I needed to format and upon redownloading after that everything was fine.

And I dont think downloading it from Steam was a mistake at all. I have purchased several games from physical stores with their own issues and failures out of the box.

If you have reinstalled / downloaded it and it has not fixed anything you can try redoing steam itself (can backup local content for working games so you dont have to redownload it all).

If you dont like that idea you can contact Steams support or peruse their forums I know others will have posted with the issue.
 
It's probably not Steam's fault. I had this problem back in the UT3 beta. The splash screen would come up and then disappear. Nobody on Epic's forums had a clue how to fix it. It also seems like a very odd issue since there were no stickies or other posts with this problem.

If you have a spare partition or drive, you can try a clean install of the OS, drivers, and UT3.
