issue with tf2. can ANYONE help?

Post by Vivixx Foxy »

so ever since today this new update was going ok for tf2. i didnt like it or anything but then another update fixing bugs and issues reguarding to this new update and its keeps giving me the same error: https://scontent-dfw5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/ ... e=5B6CBF3B

so i tried reinstalling tf2 after multiple options to fix it but nothing has worked so far. im looking to see if anyone can help me out in this cuz as of right now i cant even install tf2 once again.

i have located this file its telling me about as well and i cant even delete or do anything with it and it just stays in my files.

Have you tried deleting that specific file, rebooting or disabling your antivirus? Also make sure to add Steam folder in any exceptions while Steam is working.

Restart your computer, and close Steam if it is set to automatically start.
Run CCleaner to fix registry issues.
Run chkdsk for disk corruption fixing.
Close steam, and delete the entire "downloading" folder (you will need elevated permissions to do this). Relaunch Steam and resume downloading. If that does not work, do this again, but disable steam cloud synchronization before reinstalling.

If none of these solutions help, let us know.

Do a registry backup, just in case, before doing this.
