I've already reported this to the Admiralty, but was wondering if anyone else might have experienced the same problem (and found a solution?):
issue is this - i try to launch the game and nothing seems to happen. i get a message box from Steam saying the game is loading, then it reports that the "app is already running" and cancels out. if i go into task manager, i can see the Sunlesssea.exe*32 in processes and cancel it out.
Steam has info on these kinds of errors and calls them "silent crashes". i checked the game files per Steam's internal verification procedure, and the caches cleared with no issues. per Steam, if that's the result, issue lies with the game.
anyone else hit this? pretty nasty, because you've got no game AND no output file to report on over for analysis.

that makes sense to me, too, but the only 'road' i could find led me back to 'buy again' not reinstall. i figured i HAD to be missing something, so i even resorted - in utter desperation - to the Steam help menus. nothing discussed reinstalls along these lines. (mostly just errors encountered during initial download.)
(And, as an aside, Steam won't let you buy a game a second time for your account -- you can only gift it. Valve wants your money, but they don't resort to outright trickery to get it! If you add it to your cart, it should say that you already own it. If it doesn't, you're probably using the web interface and not logged in.)
