Verify integrity fails to fix corrupted file

[nabbed]

I am playing Bioshock Infinite on Windows 7.

6 hours into the game, I started to receive a message in game "Failed to save game." Then some of the game menus started to update at 0.1fps, so the game would essentially freeze. Just some parts, not the entire game, which is still very fast on my computer.

I tried to verify game files through the Steam client, and it found 1 file that was corrupted, said it would redownload it. The game would then start with VCredist and DirectX install first, but once in game, nothing would change - the same slowdown and save game problems.

I would verify again and again, without even starting the game, and 1 file would be found corrupted every time, and would try to redownload it. And the same Steam error repeats - 1 game file is corrupted.

The game is installed on a year old Samsung EVO 970 SSD, so I doubt that it is some bad sectors on the drive.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

I just reinstalled the game from scratch. And it still says 1 file corrupted, even after a fresh install.
WTH.

This has never happened before.

No other then add steam.exe to anti-virus excaptios rules even game.exe own file or config .exe own files if game has such.

Thank you. But I don't understand what you are saying.

Also, I don't have any antiviruses.

Disabling Windows Defender didn't change anything.

Do you have any other ideas?

No cant see how fail saved game, can happend unless you modded the game. corrupted save game is rare with Original game content.


ask own game forum, maybe they know better.

Every game in my installed Steam library is verified correctly.
Except Bioshock Infinite.

And Steam cannot fix this by redownloading - redownloading doesn't change anything - same verifying error.

other then clear DL cache , and verify game intergrity again. do have login/pw rdy.

It sounds to me like the Steam servers are now hosting a corrupt file that does not pass the crc check with their own system.
WTH.

WTH are you talking about? Steam cannot verify its own file.

Steam cannot verify its own file. This is what happens.

Steam tries to verify file - it fails - Steams says it will download a better version - Steam downloads the file - Steam tries to verify the new file - it fails again - Steams says it will download a better version - Steam downloads the file - Steam tries to verify the new file - it fails again.
This repeats.
