    Desktop game icons from third party gaming platforms not working?


    Hi, I have a problem whenever i download games through steam or epic games; the game files do appear on my desktop, but appear as a white document, and whenever they are clicked nothing opens up, to which they can only be opened through those platforms. I tried reinstaling but with no luck

    My question is: how do I fix this, so that I am able to open the game files from desktop instead of having to take the extra step of going into the platform.

    Good LAN party games?

    Most of my suggestions have already been listed.

    However, I found Swat4 to actually be a pretty fun LAN game, especially at smaller LAN parties.
