Steam not verifying login information install#

If there's no solution then you might as well reinstall, it can be faster than a verify. If you login with steam account and a friend of yours ever used his account on your PC, there is a high chance you will be loging in as him. If that does not exist see if the support site for the game has troubleshooting steps. Go for the game/launcher's verify option first if it exists. Tl dr: Don't use Steam verify on an MMO unless there's no other option. They reverted the account email to previous set email post which I could reset my password using the link sent to the email. I contacted steam support explaining the situation on email. If you have a problem, Copy the game to another location/drive, start the steam file check, and when it wants to redownload everything, copy the game back to it's location and delete the. With MMOs that don't update the base game, this almost always causes most files to fail the check and thus need to be redownloaded to the 'correct' (way outdated) copy that then needs to patch upwards again. I was stupid enough to login on a fishy link using steam login. I figured I may be missing sound sound files or something, tried to verify files on Steam and the entire game deleted itself.

Therefore when you go to verify in Steam, Steam compares your local install to the copy it knows about online to see if you have 'the right install'.

so Steam has an outdated copy at most times. Likewise, the companies often don't update the copy that Steam has. Since that process works pretty much automatically once set up, companies that make MMOs often don't update the base copy of the game that their site offers. Final Fantasy XIV, Warframe, Mabinogi, etc. This is why with many MMOs you spend a while downloading an installer, only to spend the same amount of time letting it patch the game after install. When you install most MMOs on PC the installer is an older/base copy of the game that then runs the launcher to patch it up to current. MMOs often use their own system/servers they push updates through regardless of which platform you're on. It's usually broken for games that use their own launcher program to patch/update, which is most often MMOs (haven't seen it with any other game type, personally). Not just one, been telling people not to Steam verify with a few specific games for years.
