Those 2 files are meant to fail, don't ask why.

Thanks. :)
BTW I think they're supposed to be the save files or something. Nothing is wrong. Nothing is corrupted within the game files.

it is not, you are always gonna get 2 files fail to validate...

those will always show invalid - they are files that store local pc info so are different for every pc and are edited during game install.

the crash may be any number of things. and will likley need more info to determine.
Do you use mods? Single Player or Server? official server or unofficial? to start with

It's not useless, it's a fact. If 2 files fail that means all is good.

It does the same for me, no worries.

The two that fail are your game.ini and GUS.ini settings files i think, Since they are altered from out of box state? nothing to worry about.

What I wish I could fix is the DLC saying cancelled after they are finished downloading....
Flabidium Jun 15, 2018 @ 12:21pm 
Mine also always has the 2 fails
Flabidium Jun 15, 2018 @ 12:21pm 
Now I am trying to diagnose crashes

When will people learn that the 2 files that fail to validate are like config files or something like that. NOTHING IS WRONG WITH YOUR GAME UNLESS MORE THAN 2 FILES FAIL TO VALIDATE!
