1 Files failed to validate

Post » Tue Sep 07, 2010 10:37 pm

Hey I keep getting this message when I verify the integrity of game cache: "1 files failed to validate and will be reacquired". Does anyone have any idea what I should do? Nothing happens and it does not appear to try to download anything. Every time I verify it says the same thing. Thanks.

I am getting it too - haven't a clue what to do about it.

That happened to me. I waited about a week and it finally went away.

A lot of steam games will do this, it doesn't mean you are actually missing a file.

Games play fine even when it does this, so it has nothing to do with any game errors you might be having. L4D1 and 2 both do this to me as did some other games, with no issues.
