the clowns at SE still didn't even acknowledged a problem, let alone do something about it. Force-closing Steam before hitting the Play button is the only way to get the game running, unfortunately
It seems the culprit is "steamservice.exe". You don't need to close the entirety of steam processes, just steamservice.exe.

Try this:
1. Open Steam
2. Go to the Steam Folder in Program Files then /bin/ directory.
3. Locate and delete the steamservice.exe
4. Open Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) and find the steamservice.exe then close it.
5. Try opening the game with steam open.
It should work normally as long as you don't restart steam, because it will redownload the file when you restart it and you will have to start from step 1 again.
