Why can't I download an already purchased game on steam to my other pc? (VIA STEAM)

So I have a new PC. I downloaded the Steam app. Some days ago I just got a game(Ace of Spades) and I wanna use it on this PC. When I click play now on its Steam page it doesn't start the download, but it starts a window named: Steam - Update News. This window is almost empty it only has the copyright things at the bottom.

My ideas:

I just reset my password. Maybe this is the problem.
Steam is just buggy for me.
Or it is a problem with my computer or my account.

Best Answer

The Steam - Update news is a general pop-up window that comes up whenever steam has some offers or news for you in general. Like @ahillier88 pointed out, try downloading from your library instead, i am sure it will work.

Hope this helps! Happy Gamin'!
