I can not install "RaceRoom experience" - SOLVED

[Mr. Shotgun]

Hello everyone,

Today I got interested in the "RaceRoom experience" and I bought the pack ADAC GT. When I give to install, steam begins to load a screen that tells me "looking game updates on steam" and there is nothing more, nothing happens.

The fact is that in my game library does not appear, although Store page game tells me I've got it.

Could you help me?

thank you very much

Did you install Raceroom Experience? Its free in the Steam store. Do that and then the ADAC GT pack that you bought should be there. Plus a couple of free cars and tracks.

My problem is i can not install the base "RaceRoom experience" game. I get the error mentioned above: "looking game updates on steam".

You should try to disable your antivir programs. Some of them block steam downloads sometimes.

[Mr. Shotgun]

Just try to disable the antivirus, but the same thing happens, it is not installed...

Please try to register an account here: http://game.raceroom.com and try to download it from there.

[Mr. Shotgun]

Thanks for your time AK1504
I was already registered, I have entered the website of the game and tried to install it. However, the link redirects me to the Steam page and from there again gives me the same problem. There is an alternative web other than steam from which to install?
I tried one thing on another pc from a friend, we copied into the "common" folder in steam, folder "RaceRoom" and have stuck in my pc. But it has not helped ... :(

My PC is:
AMD Phenom II X3 720 Procesor 3.31 ghz
Memory ram 4 GB
Sistem 64 bits
Windows 8.1
ATI Radeon HD 4800

Loads of possible issues here...
How much free space do you have on the partition steam is installed in? Cause the game needs double the amount of its size for installation.

[Mr. Shotgun]

My hard drive where I have installed steam is 931 GB and 162 GB are free.

[Maddawg]

Have you tried uninstalling Steam and doing a Steam reinstall?

[Mr. Shotgun]

Forgive my ignorance, uninstall steam erase installed games?

[Maddawg]

Yes, but you will have to reinstall the games within Steam. Its not that difficult but a little time consuming if you have a lot of games.
But you might try the forum here first: https://forum.sector3studios.com/index.php

Mr shotgun. I had that issue. You need to re-install steam. Use the backup function to not have to download every game again. Then restore

[Mr. Shotgun]

I understand, thank you for your answers.
However, I do not know if reinstalling steam will be the solution. Last night, I tried to get into steam from the account of my brother on my pc and it turns out we could download the game, install it and get in the game! After we agreed back in my account from the same pc. Already appeared in my library of games but I could not play because I jumped the same message: "looking game updates on steam".

It's something that makes no sense, if a problem of steam, it could not install the game with any account from my pc. The only thing I can think is that my account has a problem but not the steam program ...

[Mr. Shotgun]

Well, finally I got the problem solved and I've already got the game to work. I followed these steps:

Close completely the Steam client.
Open the command prompt by pressing the Windows key + r (You can also get here by going to the Start menu and typing run).
Write steam: // flushconfig and press enter. (If asked if you want to allow this page to open a bundle program click allow or accept).
Restart your computer.
Now, start Steam directly from your installation folder, not from an existing shortcut (~ C: \\ program files (x86) \\ Steam).
Steam application appear as Steam.exe Steam or depending on whether your settings show extension files or not.

The good thing is that I had to do backups or games, or delete steam.

Greetings.
