Game fails to download additional files from steam

[76561198166509878]

Hey guys. I got this game a couple of days back and proceeded to install it following the instructions given in the manual. According to it, after the game installs, some additional content would be downloaded for it to finally run. I had made it till the installation and launched the game by double clicking the icon, at which point a small steam window opened and started verifying some files I think, but I accidentally interrupted this process so it was never complete.

After this when I tried launching the game again, instead of downloading the remaining files, it proceeded to launch the game directly. But of course, it wouldn't run because I know those additional files never got installed.

I've tried everything, from reinstalling to rebooting, but this problem persists. It simply shows some {LINK REMOVED}Microsoft.NET framework error in a small window, on which if I press 'continue', the game launcher comes up, but with all blackened buttons and pressing on any one, opens a window saying general protection fault and gives a list of files not found (I'm guessing the ones that never got downloaded).

My computer meets the requirements needed to run the game, so I don't think that's the problem. Really don't know what to do...can somebody please help?

Just verify the games files and they will be downloaded.

my suggestion as well. verify the integrity of the games cache files in steam. right-click on the game title in your library, left-click on properties, left-click on local files and left on verify.
it will probably say one file failed to validate and will be reaquired. that's normal. when it says more then one file, that's when you're getting the missing stuff.
