Steam updates only work with steam games, and steam updates aren't available in file format. So, your Steam Client is tied up until it finishes or unless you cancel.Īs for your stuff about updates. So, if it happen to need to download 7 Gigs to make it fully updated, you won't be able to minimize the verify cache' menu until it's finishes downloading and installing those 7 gigs of data. The verification cache' menu, won't exit until the game is fully updated.

Seems the only way for Steam Client to update such games was via the verify Cache' button or a complete reinstall. I think what they did was optimized the files to where they took up less space, because L4D2 used to be over 12 GB, and now it's only 7GB. If it's an old installation, Steam will sometimes require an update that it won't do automatically. Make sure not to delete the steamapps folder, it'll take a long time for you to reinstall all your games. Open steam through the Steam.exe and update Delete every file inside except for the Steam.exe and the steamapps folder (which contains all your games)Ĥ. I've also downloaded updates since this problem started, too.ĮDIT: I fixed the problem, just going to repost how I did it in the OP:Ģ. I'm not sure if the problem is to do with my steam or just both games, L4D2 recently went free and it probably got an update, I'm pretty sure SpeedRunners updated recently too, but I've downloaded updates for both games in the past and I don't know whats gone wrong.
#Steam game not updating for mac 2015 how to
This is the first time this has happened to me since I started using steam 2 years ago, does anyone know how to fix this?
I tried to reinstall steam, it crashes my computer trying to create a start menu shortcut.
It comes up with an unknown error when I try to, the link to the steam support site tells me to verify the files, which I already tried beforehand and I wouldn't even be able to do it any when the game isn't installed. I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling SpeedRunners, Steam wont allow me to reinstall it, and now I can't play it at all. I tried verifying the files but it doesn't do anything, it stays at 0%. It tells me "Update Required" in the library despite me always keeping auto update on, if I go to the download manager and add them to the queue they attempt to start the download which then appears as 0 bytes/0 bytes downloaded, it then stops a few seconds later without doing anything. I recently started having with a few of my games (Left 4 Dead 2, SpeedRunners), where they need to be updated but it wont allow me to.
