[Call of Duty: Black Ops 1] I need help with Black Ops 1. Error: Steam must be running to play this game
I got this from Dodi-repacks, installed and followed the instructions the website gave.
copied the files from the BGamerT5 folder to the game's main folder. Set the T5Launcher as executable and launched, then selected start Hostmode. Clicked singleplayer and that's how I got that error.
