The game keeps reinstalling 27Gb over and over again , i have not been able to play since 10 nov.

I own the pipboy edition with DVD and installed the game with the given Steam key through steam

I know more people have this issue and i am damn tired of not being able to play without using a cheat to bypass steam.

Is there anyone who have had the problem? and if so how did you fix it.

****** Please NO responses from people without the issue , i am pretty much a computer/windows pro since 1984 and do not need useless "guess what it is" responses *****

Whenever I have an issue with a game wanting to install something over and over again when I try and start the game via Steam, going into the game's main directory folder and deleting any .VDF files solves the issue 90% of the time. Might be worth a shot.

Have you tried verifying the game cache?

I shouldn't need to tell you how to do that seeing you are a pro right? (Just poking fun, don't take this seriously.)

Tried already , didn't fix the problem

Try clearing the appcache maybe that has a corrupt file

ofcourse i did lol

Have you tried to disable UAC?

i deleted app cache and also deleted clientregistry.blob .. either one did seem to help as it's not redownloading the game again .. thanks for the hints

Hopefully that fixed it

UAC is and never was a problem ,it does not make any difference

I had an issue like yours a couple of years ago with Torchlight 2 having a corrupt patch download and deleting the appcache solved the issue for me. I hope it is working for you.

Restarted Steam , validating steam files and ......
