"Corrupt data found" error.

How do I solve this? I've verified the integrity thrice, and I moved the QoL mods I used to a different folder but I still can't start the game.

It's through family share if that matters.

you did not clean up properly the mods. Make sure you moved everything.

I did. The mod folder is completely empty. o_O

That happened to me too when we had the feybreak update. From what Ive noticed, when steam verifies the integrity of a game's files, it only checks if all the necessary files are present and if they have the right name. If additional files are found, it deletes them (with some exceptions). In this case, to add mods, you had to add new files that replaced some already existing files. Those new files have the same name as the ones you replaced. The only difference is the information/data, or whatever you wanna call it, thats inside the file and steam doesnt notice that, so it ignores the file because it thinks its the original file. Then when you run the game, since some files were deleted and others werent, the game doesnt understand whats happening and it tells you that in the form of an error message. I really suck at explaining stuff, so I hope that made sense.


Anyway! Long story short, try uninstalling and reinstalling the game. That did the trick for me.

I didn't have to. It just randomly started working again after I rebooted Steam.
