Steam update corrupt

[tangobravo]

Hi, recent update has corrupted my installation,  now I'm stuck as DCS won't start as it's saying needs updated the data seems to be downloaded but after the patch and verification process I get a 'corrupt files' message on my updater. It's definitely only DCS as I have uninstalled and reinstalled other games no problem. Looking like an uninstall/reinstall DCS is my only option but don't want to lose my settings. Any help appreciated.

Try to exclude the DCS folders from your Anti-Virus solution, and then through Steam, perform a file integrity check.

Fixed, I copied the DCS folder to desktop,  then uninstalled DCS from steam. Put the folder back into steam which prompted the update which then installed successfully.  Hope this helps someone with similar issues.  Thanks for the reply Max.

hello,

good to hear you got sorted. marking your post as the solution will help other users. many users only look at solved posts for answers. many user lack the energy to go through a search for anything. many have the attention span of a flea and they just will not do it.
