Steam download corrupt file

It is necessary to have one antivirus program installed on computers to avoid virus attacks. However, the anti-virus program can trigger some issues. To figure out whether your anti-virus program contributes to this issue, please temporarily disable the anti-virus program and then check if you still receive the error message when updating your game. Now, Bitdefender is disabled. Try updating your game on Steam. If the error message persists, it proves that the antivirus has nothing to do with the issue and you can try the next fix.

Another solution to Corrupt disk is renaming the 'downloading' folder. Sometimes Steam downloads become corrupted and when you try to re-download it, it uses the same corrupted files.

If you rename the 'downloading' folder in Steam Apps, and create a new folder titled 'downloading' the game download will be placed in the new folder and will no longer be corrupted. The old corrupted files will remain in the folder you renamed. Last edited by HeavenRaider ; 17 Oct, am.
