Invalid Depot Config

[VerTeX]

Apparent fixes (note these are from 3 years ago)

If you get this error, it's because your Steam client needs to update to the latest version.
Click Steam -> Check for Steam Client Updates and check under Help -> About Steam, the Steam package version should be 1373418487 or higher.

Briefly disable any Anti-Virus or Firewall programs that might interfere with the Steam client update process.

or just run steam://flushconfig

2. Anti-virus was disabled.
3. Ran steam in administrative mode.

This seemed to work for me. No idea why something like running the client from the install location would fix it, but for some reason it does. If the flushconfig route doesnt work, try this :D

Already tried that on my rig and the error is still there,
sad to say that fix does not work for everybody

Did you close steam completely using task manager first, or just close it normally then run it from file location? If you didn't, try that, but if you did then im afraid i dont really know what to do :( hope you find a fix soon

[Mr.Necro™]

Any processes that have faults i manually kill via task manager,
As for changing my download location i only really have two choices as i am in the UK and dont wish to use any international servers for fear of lesser bandwidth for my downloads..

I have already alternated between london and manchester for my downloads server and it makes no difference,

Guess its time to open a legendary support ticket with valve

[Stupidlyrandom]

Im in the uk as well, Switching the download location didnt do anything for me either :(

[Tiggs Panther]

It's worth a try. I just did and, although I'm in the UK, it decided to use the Netherlands for downloading. Game updates and downloads now happening at a fair clip.

I've been having this issue on Win8.1 and flushconfig and client cleanup wasn't working for me. My solution turned out to be: Launch msconfig, go the start-up tab, click on the 'open task-manager' link. Then disable "Steam Client Bootstrapper". Now run the "steam://flushconfig" and reboot. Launch Steam.exe from "program files" and I can finally install games again.

Mixed bag really.. yet another flush and now some games are working and downloading and a few are still throwing me the error code,
Mainly the smaller indie titles but they are still games i want to play nontheless

And its hardly a case of 'relax' when you arent abe to access titles within your game library

Maybe it's a coincidence but switching download location just appeared to work for me in the UK.

Was trying to install The Evil Within retail disc version for the last half hour and kept getting the error at the 'allocating disc space' section, it wouldn't begin to install even after repeated reboots. Changed from London to Manchester and it worked first time.

Windows 7 here, 10 years of using Steam and it's the first time I've seen the invalid depot error. Had me scratching my head 'till I found this topic, so cheers to however suggested that fix.

I'm so happy I came across this thread; thank you!

After trying pretty much everything else in this thread, I can confirm that the advice to change the download location worked.

Edit: changing it to a different drive produced the dreaded "tail-off" where a a few meg downloads and then speed drops to 0/bps permenantly, though then changing it back to the original download location on the original drive now seems to work fine.

Thank you for this thread, "steam://flushconfig" seemed to work for me.

[LouieH]

steam://flushconfig worked thanks

[Mr.Necro™]

Caved in and changed my download location to another place un europe and its sorted the issue for now, luckily it ha slittle impact on my 200mb fibre line so downloads are still good :D
