Hey there,

So, i didn't have the chance to play any games for the last 2 years,
Got pretty busy with work and life mainly and couldn't really even have a couple of hours of free time,

Fast forward, with all of the AI coming up, I managed to save more and more of time and really have the chance to enjoy life nowadays,
The problem is that I bought a new laptop to play some of my old Steam games and none of them seems to work,
Whenever i open a new game, it's showing up as black screen,
I tried to download some of these exact same pc games for free from that linked website, and surprisingly they were working fine,

Did anyone ever came up to the same problem?
I even tried to post to the Steam community with no response, so i'm really desperate for posting here

There's many things that can be causing this.

Let's start with:
What GPU have you got in the laptop and what resolution is the screen?

Thanks for the reply,
It's a GTX 1060, resolution is 1920x1080
 
Couple of things you can try so long:

Right click on the game in your steam library, then left click on properties.

Disable the Steam Overlay.

In the launch options type:
-screen-width 1920 -screen-height 1080

Make sure it's saved and try again.
