Redownloading a Potentially Corrupted Game

[naces90]

I have had Ticket to ride for years. Recently after a Steam Update it crashes when I try to start it. When I go into the Ticket to Ride folder and try to execute it directly from there, it crashes. I suspect something in the game execution files is corrupted.

How can I redownload it? And if I redownload, will I retain all the expansions I bought?

Just verify the files. Client -> Properties -> Local Files -> Verify.

If the files are corrupted Steam will redownload and fix what it needs to.

Edit: BTW, you always own all the games and DLC you buy on Steam - games and DLC are bound to your account, not the your PC, so you can uninstall at any time and just reinstall.

Redownloading a Game

I suspect one or more of my downloaded game files has been corrupted. How do I go about redownloading a game I already purchased?

Will my upgrades I bought still be available to me if I redownload the base game?

Which "Upgrades" are you talking about? DLC? Once you bought it, it will always be there unless it was refunded in some way.

You can try verifying the integrity of the game files in the Property options for the game you are talking about. It might or might not help. Worst case you just have do uninstall it and download it again.

Try this first.

You uninstall the game and redownload it. Your additionally purchased DLCs will stay as long as you keep using the account the content was bought on. Games are bound to your account, not a singular PC.

You can download and install your games as often as you want.

Did you do any of the steps I posted yesterday? One thread is all you need - it’s better to add to an already open thread because that keeps all the troubleshooting in one place.

Sorry about the multiple posts. I couldn't find them after I posted them. I thought they were getting deleted of moved.

Thanks for the ideas. I had no idea about verifying the files. I did that and all was well.

But in going to that screen I noticed a "STOP" button on the page under Ticket to Ride, so I thought I'd try that. Lo and behold it now works. There must have been a "ghost" session of it running left from a bad shut down or some related crash and restart of my computer.
