For those who are still facing issues, I did a lot of things. Maybe one of them would have solved the issue. Unplug any controllers if any are plugged or keyboards and mouse. I reinstalled steam and the game. That could have helped. Clear download cache on steam. Try out all the steps in the video. I think disabling the windows firewall might be crucial. Let me know
chkdsk did find an error in a couple of the Steam games and fixed them. Took 3 hours for that to run. Did not fix the problem. Sadly, none of these worked for me as far as fixing the 'failed to validate' issue, but it did fix the problem I was having in Valheim, so thank you.
ive been trying to play sea of thieves and it wasnt letting me. mine said "2 files failed to validate and will be reacquired", i tried the first step and it worked great, thank you!
solution 3 did it for me...ty soo much!(also someone might get confused on the chkdsk command..the letter you change is not the /r but the c: before, according to your drive name!)
I would like to help you but I don’t have the knowledge possible to help you out. If I learn anything that may be of use to you I will come back and let you know.
Here's a solution I found for Steam version when nothing else worked ; Uninstall Origin from it's uninstaller which is usually located at C : \ Program Files ( x86 ) \ Origin and run it again on steam without installing Origin , let Steam install it and there you go , hopefully it works .
@@bowarner9625 It didn't fix actually.. I just let it like that.. I'm afraid to play it again.. the last time I played the game especially with a lot more content in your world... It will crash and sometimes it will do blue screen of death
@@ppuziak I ended up refunding it through steam and having the same issue through battle net until I found out compatibility is on the game and launcher and had to disable both. Thanks for the quick reply though bro 😁👍
First method worked for me. 3 files were failing. Took me awhile to figure out why in Age of Mythology it wouldn't let me "advance to classical age" in the second campaign mission lol
1:44 Don't try this at your own risk fall back warriors it's not your time to suffer. you don't belong on this video. Because this is where I suffer at 2:11 I survived but it costed me dearly trust me you not want to know what comes after the end just bite the bullet
Man this sucks i spent 21$ on a steam game and I tried all these methods and none of them worked when i try the method i scan it again and it says its fine but when i run the game it dosent load up then i scan again and it says “1 file failed to validate” (the game is Feed and Grow: Fish if anyone could help)
didnt work for me... still says "database login failure" in my game, and also still says "1 file failed to validate and will be reacquired" when i verify :/
i just wanted to play fallout new vegas, i couldnt play it cause every time i pressed play it just reopened the same window, i searched on how to solve that problem, i saw this tutorial, tried everything and i still couldnt play it
@@CaptainRoofa It was so long ago, I have already beten the game multiple times and I have even beaten calamity mod since that. My old save file is no worry for me anymore.
Bro I did step 2 and now my whole computer stopped working. Nothing is loading. I can bring up anything. Idk how re-enable what I disabled please help!!
Step 1 hide everything and disable all and disable windows security 😱 step 2 something happen and your PIN isn't available 😠😰 Step 3 set up pin not working etc Also where is the wifi icon😱 it's wired Step 4 go to advance resert by hold shift+resert button same time Step 5 go to trouble shooting and resert everything you had Step 6 learn from that mistake and understand you might as well bite the bullet and call for real support
Number 2 doesn't work because when you disable all services after hiding microsoft services, for some reason it disables he internet and steam can't reach it's servers to download the service.
None of this helped. I wasn’t able to do the chkdsk. It said I don’t have sufficient privileges or the disk is locked. Im an administrator and I don’t know how I’d unlock the disk.
@@Ryanking04YTGaming it turns out for my problem it was only temperary and reset each time i turned off my pc but it was solution 2 edit: I found the solution to my specific problem, i just had to turn off my overclocking software ( MSI afterburner)

Have you tried deleting the game file, install then click "Validate steam files?" It's a bit tedious, but if it still doesnt work to this day, it may help. Just gotta make sure you validate before playing
@@augb.b.3522 I did some things with the firewall thingy and disabling the Windows stuff and idk but when i restarted my PC i cant open anything or close neither can i turn on the run tab or close my PC in the Windows tab Only if i turn of my actually PC Like the box i am confused

Nothing happens when I click Turn Windows Defender Firewall on or off for 7:42 - it's like it's disabled, even though it visually looks clickable.

Bro now I gotta wait 8 hours to use my pc bc of the restart process 😢😢
didn't work i have no idea what mines issue is it literally lags so bad ever 15 seconds
didnt work for me...
still says "database login failure" in my game, and also still says "1 file failed to validate and will be reacquired" when i verify :/
I cant join my friends on terraria since none of this worked, help
i just wanted to play fallout new vegas, i couldnt play it cause every time i pressed play it just reopened the same window, i searched on how to solve that problem, i saw this tutorial, tried everything and i still couldnt play it
for me 18 files weren't validating on the new call of duty modern warfare 2 spec meets all of minimum and most of the recommended
Did anything work same problem
thank you very much, of the many tutorial videos that I saw only your video worked on my computer :)
I lost almost 12 hours of straight terraria game play bc of this.
I lost everything I ever did in it. lol just means a clean start
@@ArrowSnipes But in that 12 hours of play time i beat wall of flesh the first time and also moon lord like 8 times. So basically i had to restart.

Bro I did step 2 and now my whole computer stopped working. Nothing is loading. I can bring up anything. Idk how re-enable what I disabled please help!!
everything was layed out amazingly no issues following the tutorial unfortunately none of these options worked
Step 1 hide everything and disable all and disable windows security 😱
step 2 something happen and your PIN isn't available 😠😰
Step 3 set up pin not working etc Also where is the wifi icon😱 it's wired
Step 4 go to advance resert by hold shift+resert button same time
Step 5 go to trouble shooting and resert everything you had
Step 6 learn from that mistake and understand you might as well bite the bullet and call for real support
That was windows security notification manager
when i wrote the command in cmd then restarted my pc, it just restatred noramlly without any scans
My steam program and the library are in an external drive. How will this work?
like 3 hours of work and this finally fixed it, thank you =^)
i validated files and they were fine no issues, but when i launch game it still says i need to validate game?
done all of this for black ops 2 and still get the error come up. any ideas?
I've tried all the steps multiple times but I still get the error message and my game crashes
Thanx man ,,I succeeded just by deleting the user data folder
I did everything step by step and nothing helped :(
deleting the profile config worked for me, thnx dude!
None of this worked, any other tips? Its Fallout New Vegas with all DLC
i’m having the same problem, the game also randomly crashes at points and i don’t know what to do
@@benji2247 when your play pause game and save bc if your game fucks up it wont load autosave
Also theres really nothing you can do with the game crashing there are mods that fixes that problem on pc not to sure what you can do on console
Number 2 doesn't work because when you disable all services after hiding microsoft services, for some reason it disables he internet and steam can't reach it's servers to download the service.
thank you very much! it´s explained very good for beginners like me who don´t know much about pc`s.
None of this helped. I wasn’t able to do the chkdsk. It said I don’t have sufficient privileges or the disk is locked. Im an administrator and I don’t know how I’d unlock the disk.
