Honestly, if restarting and verifying files doesn't work, check for driver updates, especially your graphics card. Outdated drivers cause all sorts of weird issues with games.

Ran into this problem a ton! First thing, restart your PC. Sounds simple, but you'd be surprised how often it works. If that doesn't do the trick, try running Steam as an administrator. Right-click on the Steam icon, select 'Run as administrator,' and see if that helps. Another common fix is to verify the integrity of your game files. Right-click on the game in your Steam library, go to 'Properties,' then 'Local Files,' and click 'Verify integrity of game files.' Usually, one of these steps kicks things back into gear!

All those fixes are great, but don't forget to check for Windows updates too. An out-of-date system can mess with Steam games running properly.
