Version mismatch, update your game client and other error codes

[Bobtophat]

Hey, so I have been struggling with this problem in about half a year or so, talking with steam and the individual game support without luck, so now I'm trying my luck here:

Okay so it started out as everytime I opened Steam I would have progressively more and more games that required an "update" which was actually just a quick little update (about 300mb), but also just an indicator that when I entered that game I was going to need to verify my game files to actually play the game, but not only that, after I then verified my game I needed to run an update that was about (3gb) no matter what game, and that also was slowed down to about 2mb/s for some reason.
I then contacted steam support and long story short after a lot of cases I reinstalled steam. That didn't help tho, the issue came back about a week after the reinstall (Btw the main games getting glitched was Rocket League, Dead By Daylight and PUBG, which was also the games I played/play the most). So I tried contacting steam support again and after some time I decided to reboot my whole pc hoping the glitch could be something about interfering programs. And I really thought that helped but yeah, I am currently still having the glitch.

Hopefully someone can help me and possibly others with this very annoying issue.
Thnaks in advance

Game issue
Rocket League, Dead By Daylight and PUBG,

is the pc update in all driver and Bios and ( no OC )

clear DL cache, could be a issue if cache is corrupted
then validate game cache.

now here it matter do game start up or not. or they still through you need to update.

do the antivirus app block the game.exe and steam.exe

ps.
because of mods is everywhere today , have you add such or is it original steam content only.

this should work, pretty much every steam user have no game start up issue at all.
game need to be from the past OS to require more tweaks if a steam user have made a forum post about .

ps.
do not under estimated safe boot mode, this is to nail other apps cause game or steam issue.

do not have BETA do have win10, ( thuis is know as preshader issue or vulkan driver thats installed with graphic card driver, i did not say its that , its more only big huge change , and should work as intended , but sametime does it actual work. depend on what OS and how old ones GPU card is.

im sure most will agree those games are old and from before the steam change, and i bet many will say well tested game , so problem most be your pc.

do note run as adminstrator one time only is not same as set it on option on steam or game own .exe ( try avoid such, and mos is also knowns as version issue )

do not think reinstall is a clean install , thei is you that need explan better , a total clean install is another thing most skyrim expert know all about, ( this is why i say it , like that )


and with no error codes , you open the door for alot of things, what if. this and that.

do you even know if you have game requirements, this is not to offend you , ask any ere how many times things just turn out a diffrent way.

Okay so I am not getting any error codes as far asI know, all the games just give me a message like "Version Mismatch, please update your game" (Rocket League) and "Please update your game client" (PUBG), but I'll try the antivirus thing again more thoroughly, can you elaborate a bit more on that? I mean how do I block the game and steam, I am currently just on the windows antivirus

[Iceira]

all game has a executable file, add that to antivirus allow list to runleout blocking from own security , and it might explan why it wont update.

do you know the diffrence in steam issue or game client own client say error, i play nevewinter that has own client content update.


i dont have your game, but even that is game devs own problem.

you might want to provide other error code , i bet other might can help you better.
