beschädigte Updatedateien

[arp1971]

Hallo,
seit Sonntag Mittag kann ich GTA 5 nicht mehr spielen. Auf einmal kam beim Starten des Spiels "zlib error" und GTA wurde beendet.
Ich habe es seither mehrfach mit der reparieren Funktion von Steam versucht. Jedesmal kommt am Ende, nachdem es ca. 12-20 Gb neu installiert hatte eine Meldung das die Installation abgebrochen wurde weil "beschädigte Updatedateien" da seien.
Darauf habe ich mich dann Gestern dank schnellem DSL zur Neuinstallation entschieden. Nach zwei Stunden installieren der selbe Fehler wieder.
Um einen Festplattenfehler auszuschliesen habe ich heute morgen GTA auf die zweite Festplatte installiert. Gerade kommt wieder der selbe Fehler.

Fehlerprüfung der Festplatte zeigt alles OK, Graka Treiber sind aktuell (Radeon 18.10.1) Windows 10 Pro ist auch aktuell. Keine neuen Programme oder Updates des Systems bevor der Fehler auftrat.
Ich bin echt ratlos. Bitte helft mir wie ich GTA wieder zum laufen bringe. Übrigens Startparameter -verify ist sinnfrei, da man bei Steam ja reparieren kann. Außerdem hab ichs schon probiert ;-)

Danke arp1971

Zlib is usually corrupt files. Steam verify is known to have issues on some systems - other things can cause problems too - like antivirus/security software and permisions. If you are running 3rd party antivirus/security software - I would temp sleep/disable it - or add gtav folder to exclusions. I'd say check hdd space - but steam pre-allocates space and complains. I also vaguely remember some having issues with ram or malware/adware corruption.

Some things I would immediately do. Exit steam.
Open taskmanager and make sure no gtav/social club processes are running. (or restart pc)
Open steam / steamapps / downloading. If there is a 271590 folder or files - delete them.
Open steam / steamapps / temp - same thing. 271590 folder/files - delete them.
If you are installed to/using a steamlibrary - adjust the locations.
There should only be 1 appmanifest_271590--- the one ending in .acf.
If there are any appmanifest_271590. old, bak, tmp, etc - delete them.
Turn on filename extensions if necessary to doublecheck them.
You've already tried installing on a new hdd so that rules out the first one.

Next - I would drop in a current appmanifest file. The newest one is in this link -

After the appmanifest is put in (with steam closed) - rightclick steam - run steam as admin.
Verify cache once again. With the download/temp folders clean - it "shouldn't" have issues.

If you ever modded, verify the folder is clean too (better yet, verify it is clean.. anyways).

If you keep having problems - might have to eyeball the files, or get someone to crank out a md5 across the gtav/sub folders so you can compare - then delete the known corrupts (if any) and try again. (which shouldn't really be a problem - due to a new drive/install location)

Beyond that - I'd personally want to see it. New location rules out mods (unless unmentioned -.-). There are instances where windows updates have caused problems with gpu drivers but that hasn't created zlib errors in year+ to my recollection atleast.

edit - you could also try booting windows in safemode with network to fake a clean boot - and see if steam works / and will verify cache/download that way - not in mood to test that right now.

*zlib errors can also happen on some new drives with outdated firmware (typically, this immediately appears when you replace/change over to running off the hdd - not after a game update, etc).
They have also happened in the past due to a manipulated hosts file (cheating usually)

Thx, id now all this thinks. Cashe is emty now and i try once more start GTA now. It begins with a new 77 GB installation. But now i must go to work, so i first see today at 8am how its work. I write than the result of all this. I hope it works fine.

[arp1971]

Ok, now i'm home again. Download have finished, but the same again. Damaged updatefiles (beschädigte Updatedatei). I try empty cashe, reboot, switch of firewall and virusscanner, reload older Radeon driver, but nothings work. Even the same error.

The error only is in GTA!
War Thunder, Rising World and EuroTruck Simulater 2 works fine.

Malewarebyte scan is negative, Systemscan is all ok, but i have a bad feeling now. I install CC Cleaner and clean up my regedit at Sonday morning. Is maybe this the reasen for the error? I save the old regedit file so i can restore ist.

what is zlib error? Maybe when i understand i get a idea.
Is zlib a Steam Thing or a Gameside error? Than when it is a error with Steam, i maybe reinstall Steam?

Edit - post wiped due to 1st post covering all the bases.

Thx a lot for your help
