Corrupt Game

[willist0]

I have a game that’s corrupt. I’ve tried everything for a week, including uninstalling and reinstalling Nothing helps. I want to totally uninstall it and repurchase the I think that’s the only way I’ll ever be able to play it again. Is it possible to completely uninstall a game?

Repurchasing a game won't fix whatever issue you're having.

Did you try verifying the files?

Repurchasing the game won't magically solve the underlying issues with the existing files or configs.

You're just going to have to work it out.

What game? What are your system specs? Has it ever worked? Any recent system changes? Hardware? Drivers? OS updates?

It is possible to completely uninstall the game. You might need to clean up user configs and saves manually though.

I know reinstalling won’t solve my problems but the game can’t be fixed That’s why I’m asking if there’s any way to get the game out of the cloud or wherever it is.

We need more information, what game is it, did you install any mods, do you have steam cloud enabled?

Steam only deletes files that it created so if you installed a mod for the game any files created by the mod install will still be there after the game is uninstalled.

The game is factor 2

finally.

Check if game is added to exclusions in your AV.
If you subscribed to anything in workshop - unsub and verify game files.
Clean reinstall of game and all of the game associated runtimes.
Also ask on game forum, usually people on the dedicated game forum knows better how to troubleshoot it.

You will still get the same install files.

You mean rFactor 2? You use mods? Delete everything game related including the mods and then reinstall the game without mods. Launch it.

This will sound stupid buy with windows 11 where do I find these files I’ve been looking but can’t find anything related to rFactor 2. I’ll admit my computer skills are poor
