I tried to reinstall the steam (deleting everything minus steamapps folder), restarting the computer, reinstalling the game..

Hmmm, it seams to want to look for folders that don't exist. it could be an issue with how steam was installed, try custom and install it somewhere else on the PC. if that won't help, then i don't know what else to do.

I did a rollback to windows 8 and reinstalled everything. Now it's working. Thank you very much, guys, for the attention!
Close the thread, admin, plaase!
