[COMP DBD 1V1]

Fatal error: [File:Unknown] [Line: 165] Game files validation failed. Please make sure the game is installed correctly. Error code: 600 File: pakchunk1-WindowsNoEditor.pak

every time its some different # of pak file, it doesnt matter if i delete it and verify and get it, itll be some other new pak file that crashes
i literally reinstalled the game just for the event and the corruptions are still nonstop

Clear your Steam download cache. Steam --> Settings --> Downloads --> Clear download cache

After Steam restarts verify game file integrity and see if that does the trick.

Glad im not the only one suffering from this problem. Whats worse is, we get locked out from multiplayer because of the crashes

[COMP DBD 1V1]

i think i have an insane idea
and it does have to do with the alien update because thats when it introduced settlable resolution and turning off dynamic res + TAA

i happily assumed to flip all the graphics back on 1080 all low no AA
i noticed that my gpu was being worked to 60%.... at main menu
so midmatch it would hit over 100% when too much ♥♥♥♥ happens onscreen
and crash + instantly start corrupting the pak files somehow

now that i put it on no graphics, 65% scale 720p the workload is 0-20% and ive played 2 days straight of no crashes vs every match was corrupting a pak and sometimes destroying winload so booting was corrupted too

[COMP DBD 1V1]

nevermind it crashed
i noticed whats causing it though
its not the cpu or gpu those are fine

my ssd spikes to 100% load then the game freezes and whatever pak it was trying to currently read it corrupts it and goes into BSOD

so now i have to figure out why the hell dbd does this at random times

i fixed my error 600 pak crashes. You gotta delete dbd and any files left after uninstalling and do a clean install on ssd... fixed it for me

i did that and it only works temporarily
eventually a new pak file will corrupt again so you have to delete the pak
then delete the whole pak folder
then delete the entire game and it will still eventually corrupt the pak again

its something with the dbd and the OS or dbd and the SSD that is making it nuke itself

the pak itself was hard corrupted, as in when you reinstall or clear cache it doesnt delete it

when you manually attempt to delete the pak windows will say it cannot be deleted because its corrupted

so i had to go into chkdsk and let it repair the broken sector, then safe boot and finally delete that pak once and for all

now the game works

i cant hold your hand through this since everything is basic windows operating system knowledge but ill give quick steps

1) the type of corruption i had means that when you press delete on the entire DBD folder, windows will you a file was not deleted, take note which file it told you because when you check on the DBD folder, there should be something left

2) once you know the exact file thats corrupted, reboot the computer with safe mode command prompt

3) type into command prompt to fix the bad sector
chkdsk /f /r /x

4) once its done, WHILE still in safe mode, goto the DBD folder and delete that file you wrote down

5) reboot back to normal and the file should be completely gone and you can reinstall dbd normal again

hey, i tried those steps and unfortunately i didnt work...

so i managed to do a complete factory reset on my windows,
downloaded the game and boom...same error message, code:600 game file corrupted

i really dont know what else should i do...
i 've been playing dbd for 600hrs and never had any errors like that.

i have this pc for 6 months, so my hardware is kinda new and this error should not be related to hardware stuff

factory reset doesnt remove your files, just the system ones
that shouldnt do anything at all to fix it, you have to let chkdsk fix the corrupted sector or else the file will never be allowed to get deleted

alternatively if you are willing to reformat you can just do that as well instead of this easier process

are you sure you reformatted

anyway it still sounds like whatever youre doing is not actually fixing the bad sector

yea im sure, i have a pendrive that i use whenever i need to format my pc,
i think this has to be related to the new update for 2v8 mode
