So I just got on US2 and now it keeps telling me that I now need steam, I don't why its telling me that because I've had US2 since Alpha 8 and I have Steam running and this is what its telling me.
"Steam Required
You need Steam to play this game, open up Steam and run Universe Sandbox²"
I have steam opened and I'm logged in, any help?

Try restarting Steam and/or restarting your computer. Often this will fix this kind of issue.

Does that help?

It would be useful if you could post your logs as well, that way we can see exactly where the startup process is failing.
