Steam keeps updating the SAME games over and over

[BulletInAction]

This is really getting on my nerves. I have Unturned, CSGO, GTAV, and BO3 updates. I update them. I turn my computer off. I turn it back on. Steam launches. The same updates appear and start downloading again. Everytime I close steam the 20GB I just updated is no more and I have to do it again. and again. and again. and again. It's never ending and its REALLY annoying. I have to download 20GB everytime I load up steam. How do I fix this?

It might be, that some local content of your games did not update correctly, so your steam keeps wants to update the same thing all over and over again.

What I can recommend is deleting all local content from the steam library and by then go over to your steam/steamapps/common and remove the specific folders, then re-install the game itself all over again (And try not to stop the progress).

It that ain't help, you also can go over to the steam support and create a ticket.

Let me know if it helped!

[JimmBO 3000]

Same Problem here ... any ideas? ... For me it shows everytime i start steam that i should download/install the game that i just played e.g. yesterday

I have this issue now. Not the same games listed as in the OP, but it's the same list of games.

I even did a fresh install of windows and fresh install of steam. Any ideas on why this is happening?

The response from Steam tech support is there is nothing wrong their end and I need to contact a local IT expert to fix my issue.

Make steam support ticket and ask steam for better detail why, we cant help you then so many other reason could call for why they do it.


ps.
either you know orther post with exatly same issue as OP now ask, we are not in controll over content thats game devs and steam do in how things works now. im not sure steam want a keep recehck everything everytime then patch is done in the game. only they know what cause this.


make steam support ticket , no ticket then steam dont have a problem.
IT company works like that today.


ps.
change account is another game validation issue, its seen before things or not same maybe this is a clue i just recall, but not all steam user have 2 steam account so things still dont add up here.
