To fix the ‘Game not found’ or ‘You are running an older version of the game’ error, the first thing you should try is actually updating the game. A surprisingly high number of people simply forget to update the game in case it doesn’t auto-update, which may trigger the error.
If your game is already up-to-date, a simple solution that works for most people is to change the beta version of the game. To do so, simply go to Steam> Manage > Betas and change the beta version. Let the download finish and then launch the game. You can also try changing the version to stable once you’ve tried this.
If everything else fails, perform a fresh reinstall of the game after uninstalling your current copy. This method is almost certain to fix your problem. But if it fails to do so, there’s a high possibility that the issue lies in the game servers, which are notorious for shutting down without prior warnings as a result of the heavy load.
