Steam authorization failed for newly bought module

Recommended Posts

I bought the I-16 module in summer sale. When launching I keep seeing steam authorization failed error and authorization will last for 2 days, 23hrs, 59mins, the newly bought I-16 module is not authorized and would be disabled. When re-downloading I saw "downloaded file lost" error.

Update:

Solved after pausing antivirus defending (I'm using ESET), repairing steam library folder, and re-download the module. Sorry for bothering.

Besides, when checking antivirus log, I found that after moving DCS from my default D:/program files(x86)/steam/steamapp folder to my new E:/steamlibrary/steamapp folder, the downloading still involves earlier folder(D:/program files(x86)/steam/steamapp/downloading). This information may helps anyone with other problems later.

Human allowed, demon allowed, Deka never allowed.

Distort allowed, provoke allowed, fight back never allowed.

Thanks .. its because of this type of hard-to-detect issues, that I opted for excluding the DCS folders from my Antivirus reach (MS Defender)
