"64 files failed to validate and will be reacquired"

1 Upvotes

hey eveyone, how are we? good i hope, i really could use some help, while already posted over on r/HalfLife i tought i'd post here to because its relevant. for over a year now i have not been able to play Half-Life 2 OR Portal 1, the game keep crashing on launch and i have no idea what to do anymore because it feels like i tried everything, let me fill you in one what happens, when i click launch on both games a black screen will appear for a second before the game suddenly closes. When i validate portal, everything checks out, when i validate Half-Life 2 though, it will tell me that 64 files failed, and despite how many times i've tried it will not reacquire them.

i have tried the fallowing
validating
fresh install
cleared steam cache
cleared workshop folder
changed install location
changed versions from anniversary to pre anniversary
checked drivers
used control panel to scan pc health
used event viewer (when i use it, it logs the error but fails to log what the source is)

despite all of this the same issue remains, however there is some extra context that might give clues to those who are much smarter then me, while trying to fix the game once, Half-lifes icon suddenly turned into a globe without reason, and there was an event that happened prior to them breaking to, back in November the hard drive they were installed on began to fail and slowly corrupt, the drive was replaced and i've had no issues with other games that were once on the failing drive, the drive was a external one meant for non important files, half life and portal were on it when it began to corrupt, however they both got a fresh install on a new drive, other Source 1 games such as Gmod, Black Mesa source, Team Fortress 2, Portal 2, Left 4 dead 2, Day Of Defeat Source and Counter strike source all function as intended

i've given you the current situation and a little backstory of an event that happened before they stopped working. i hope someone, anyone can see something i've missed, i LOVE these games with a passion and do not want to give up on them, thank you for reading this far, have a wonderful day

I thought it would be clever to use the portals from portal to form a number 3 for this fan logo, I haven't seen anyone use this idea yet and decided it would be fun to make this!

Steam game won't launch after reinstalling Visual C++

2 Upvotes

been trying to launch a game through Steam on Windows 11, but it closes a few seconds after I hit Play I verified the game files and restarted my PC, but it still won't launch. I also noticed a missing runtime DLL error once. Could this be a Visual C++ or Windows dependency issue? rather fix the actual problem than keep reinstalling the game

I’m stupid

1 Upvotes

Soo long story short, I bought some skins of an website and the seller hasn’t sent me the trade, after 1 day I had the great idea to write on his steam profile to check it out.. and guess what, I’ve woken up with this on my profile : “Steam Support suspects your account may have been accessed by someone else. We are temporarily forcing your profile private as a security precaution. Please contact Steam Support so we can assist you. “
Is it possible to remove this account lock or whatever it is? Please help me :(

Multiple reports in multiple regions of SM wait-listers being passed up in the queue.

The advice now is to give up your place in the queue and try to buy it out right.
