Solution for "MISSING DOWNLOADED FILES" error or the "Log Clog"

[LeaTheVixy]

Hello everyone, I just discovered this yesterday and thought I should post it here to help somebody who might be having the same problem I had. If you are getting the "MISSING DOWNLOADED FILES" error then go here **Whatever Drive you have steam on\Steam\steamapps\workshop\downloads** and delete everything within it. It will not delete your workshop content or downloaded workshop content what so ever nor will you have to re-download it, all this does it un-jam your downloads so you can continue downloading whatever. I hope this helps whoever may see this and is having this problem.

Nevermind, as of just now I got a Steam Redistributable update and it fixed it. Guess the problem solved itself.

I just said. I got a random Steam Redistributable update and it made the issue go away.

None of these have worked for me. I have tried countless things for hours but it still says "MISSING DOWNLOADED FILES"

This same file keeps not downloading whenever I redownload the game, I even tried adding a blank .txt file in its place with the correct name but that didn't work either.

any suggestions on how I could fix this issue?

Thanks!

Did you try re-downloading or restarting the file you are trying to download?

Oh my goodness! Problem solved!

No idea how it got fixed but apparently uninstalling, switching install location and installing again multiple times seemed to do the trick.

Thanks for everyone's help!

I'm glad these wonderful people helped you out, I took a break from Arma and I'm glad this is still up. ^W^

You don't need to do this now.

Simply go to your Steam settings > Downloads and clear download cache.

Clearing the cache isn't working for me......

[Blissybabe]

ok it got it now...had to verify the integrity of the game files and it said one failed. Then it downloaded it instantly and fixed the issue

The following worked for me:

1. Open Steam and click on the Library button at the top of the window.
   
2. Right-click on the game that doesn't run, and click on Properties.
   
3. Click on Local Files
   
4. Click on Verify the integrity of the game cache.
   
5. Re-try running/updating the game with the issue.

this problem is something, that this solution mostly doesnt fix, as i think its the first thing most people try and then go here to ask.
i example have now same problem, and steam dont allow me to check files, as it says the same thing. in y case is problem with workshop, so xhecking game files is useless.
i think in my case its caused by update of ws content, while i was downloading it, so it caused files corruption, bul ill see if i manage to fix it.

Greetings. I had the same problem "MISSING DOWNLOADED FILES" and solved it with the following step. Launch Steam as administrator. I have win 11.

I used the Clear Download Cache option under settings > downloads and it also seems to have fixed the problem.

Good stuff!

Can you explain how, step by step, make that setting?

I deleted the files in drive\Steam\steamapps\download and it worked after some praying to God
