Well, the problem occurred on December 19–20, 2025, and if you tried to launch Mafia 2 on December 20, the game simply crashes without errors — then this issue is related to the new update! 

Therefore, we advise you not to download from various websites claiming it will help you! Most likely, you may end up downloading a virus.


How to solve the problem? You need to wait until 22–23.12.2025 until the developers fix this ban. While you wait — you can purchase interesting Steam games on our market.
