Log out of Steam.
Close the Steam Client.
Click on the System Tray, right-click on the Steam icon, and select Exit.
Open the Task Manager and end all the running instances of Steam under the Processes tab.
Open Steam again and sign in using your Steam account.

Now, see if the issue persists.

2] Launch the game from Steam Library

Among the affected users, some of them were receiving the “No user logon” error message while launching the game from the desktop shortcut. Launch the game from Steam Library instead of the desktop shortcut and see if it brings any changes.

Apart from that, you can also try to launch the game out of Steam. To do so, you have to launch the game from its application file (exe file) stored on your hard disk. Open File Explorer and go to the following path:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common

The above location is the default location of Steam games. If you have installed the game on another location, go to that location. Now, open your game folder and look for the application file (exe file). Double-click on the file to launch the game. This should work.

3] Clear Download Cache

A cache is a software component that stores data temporarily in order to make future requests faster. The corrupted cache can cause various issues in apps because the apps can still use the corrupted cache data. Deleting the cache data is the easiest way to fix the problems occurring due to a corrupted cache. Clear Download Cache in Steam by following the steps written below:

Open the Steam Client.
Go to “Steam > Settings > Downloads.”
Click CLEAR DOWNLOAD CACHE.

After performing the above steps, you have to log in to Steam again.

Open Steam.
Go to your Game Library.
Right-click on your game and select Properties.
Select LOCAL FILES from the left side.
Click on the Verify integrity of game files button.

5] Uninstall and reinstall the game on another hard drive partition

If none of the above fixes resolved your issue, uninstall and reinstall the game on another hard drive partition. This trick has worked for some users. But before doing that, it will be better to save all your game progress to the Cloud. This should work.
