There may be other fixes that people know about that worked for them and if so i encourage you to share your method on this guide. I would like to point out that this guide was written as the steps involved helped me to correct this issue for myself and hopefully for those reading it in future.

Because i have recently had this issue affect me on CSGO, where the game closes itself and returns me to desktop after several minutes, there have been very little guides or help on this subject that actually work and i have had to try many different methods to find a fix.

Finally i was able to find a way to correct this issue and it worked. If you are suffering from this issue when downloading a game, try these steps as this worked for me the 1st time i tried it so i decided to make a guide that hopefully can help others. STEPS: 1. Uninstall Game Any game that gives you the error of corrupt update files 2. Firstly, Clear Download Cache which is located at the bottom 4.

This step is VERY important since the game file location UK in this case where we are downloading the files from wont change and get corrupted everytime, meaning you can reinstall CSGO 10 times like i did but still get the error everytime. We have to switch the region to anything besides where yours is currently set.

Once changed, Steam should prompt you for a restart 6. Download the game fully once your download region has been changed ofcourse and let it download. Once finished, you should no longer see the error "Corrupt Update Files" meaning the download has been successful. Navigate to "Verify Integrity of Game Files" This will do a final check for any missing files in game. Change the Download Region back to where it was originally and run the game like normal. I hope this guide was able to help folks in resovling this issue because i had to go through forums upon forums, reddit and several other sites to find a fix for the problem before i found the one that really worked.

My sincerest thanks for reading! This item has been added to your Favorites.
