    Thank you, 2023 and it still works in the last step. If anyone can't find the setting in view, it is actually in the Steam logo now. Repair library is in Setting -> Storage then the "..." button near your C:\STEAM or whatever your ssd is.

    I haven't been able to start up Fallout 76 for the last 4 nights, and it's been rattling my brain on how to fix it.
    The "run administrator" method worked a treat!

    Absolutely nothing worked in my case for Red Dead Redemption 2. I gave up on it for a few weeks. I tried all those methods, even one you didn't mention, which was changing my download region. The only thing that eventually worked a little while ago tonight was running Steam as administrator, which is super weird because I'm able to download and update every single other game that I currently have. The RDR2 situation just randomly started 2 months ago for some weird reason. I saw there were 2 RDR2 online mode updates. It just wouldn't work after those came out.

    Thank you very much, the running as administrator saved me the time of downloading an entire 1TB of SSD and solved the problem of missing file permission. This was odd to sense I have two other SSDs on steam that wasn't havening this problem.

    What if you screwed up as hard as I did and somehow (not deleting everything) deletet everything? I mean, I can't even click the check game files button since it doesn't do ANYTHING, but I still have like nospace left on my pc to reinstall them, since they are still installed

    Let me start this by saying FINALLY! TY soooo much! I tried all the previous steps. I tried things in Wallpaper Engines help page. And NOTHING worked. I kept getting this error....I could DL other games in steam. So I decided to uninstall and reinstall Wallpaper Engine and I still got error. I tried running in Admin before, but steam wouldn't load. I closed it down completely (or so I thought but exiting and killing it on the taskbar) but after watching you vid I killed it in the task manager and bingo bongo, I loaded in as Admin and was able to re DL Wallpaper Engine. It was super frustrating I couldn't DL new wallpapers. Thanks again!

    I've been having a problem where it says to verify the integrity of game files when i load into the game. So I go back and select the stop so steam shuts it down and I do so by navigating to the local files. Once I wait it out it says everyrhing is fine and prompts me to close. So I close, and boot up destiny again. When I load back in it tells me the exact same thing, saying to verify the integrity of game files. I have hard wiped my pc and deleted/ Uninstalled both destiny 2 alone and steam as a whole. Even so, I am still getting this same thing where it tells me to verify the game files. It is like a huge loop. Someone plz help.

  • @danriu

    Before trying any of this if you are the kind of people that leaves your PC ON for weeks on(like me), try restarting your pc, in my case tried all this and nothing worked, I also deleted some games to check if it was my SDD, and just a restart made it back to normal again, I'm now downloading them again....
