Update problems

[Brentacool]

Hi! I'm trying to update the game but an error appears: it says that Darkest.exe located in the "_windows" folder is corrupted. The problem is that I can't see that file in the folder, but only in "_windowsnosteam". Has anyone of you ever encountered this problem?

Try to verify your game integrity. Right click on darkest dungeon on your steam library.

I tried it earlier and it said that there was no problem with my game files. Thank you anyways, I'm still gonna retry when I'll be back at home

[Brentacool]

It still says that there is no problem. I also tried to re-install the game, also removing all the files in the Darkest Dungeon Folder, but Darkest.exe won't install at all
EDIT: grammar

[wolkenwand]

One of the possibilities is your antivirus thought darkest.exe is an a virus, Try to update your antivirus or check your antivirus quarantine(?) folder for your missing files maybe?

Did you find a fix? I'm having this same problem :(

I just started having this problem too. This thread was old but appears to be an issue now. It says I have an update. However when I start the update it just sits at "starting" then eventually it times out.

It is an issue that appears to randomly affect people - once you have the issue it is hard to get rid of.

First try this...

Verify Game FIles
Logout of Steam
Re-Start Computer
Log in to Steam
Verify Game Files again

Now see if you can receive the update.

If you still cannot then you have a longer bit of troubleshooting to do.

Here on the forums you can find the steam guide for troubleshooting - there are numerous steps to follow.

Whne I had this issue I had to Repair my Steam Library - I ended up going through every step until I fixed it.

Good luck.

I tried to validate the game files but it just sits at 0%. I should note I was playing this on my laptop a few days ago 6/23 and then today on my home PC 6/25 I had this happen. I think it's an issue with the cloud sync possibly. I assume just uninstalling and reinstalling will fix it.

[RupTurE]

Well I uninstalled and when I tried to install I got this error in a steam error dialog box
"An error occurred while installing Darest Dungeon (manifest unavailable) :
then some huge long link to some us-ohio.steam-content-dnld-1.us-e2-cdn.cqloud.com/vavle607 you get the idea...

I have the same problem. I done every step in the Steam troubleshooting guide short of reinstalling Steam itself. Can't verify integrity of files as it just sits at 0%. I uninstalled the game and now can't reinstall it. It just started happening with the latest update as I was happily playing just yesterday. I have the same error message as RupTurE.

[RupTurE]

I tried clearing my download cache via the settings -> downloads page and that didn't work either. Same error.

[Chariot7]

Yep. Clearing download cache didn't work for me either. Neither did changing my download region. I've started a ticket withh Steam Support. Hope they come up with something soon.

Today when I got home from work and started steam the game downloaded. I think there was some issue with their contend delivery server in Ohio.
