Steam repeatedly verifies game files

[Polaris]

After attempting to launch a game, it repeatedly validating game files and goes from 0% to 100% and starts over.
I tried to delete ClientRegistry.blob and other local Steam files many times but it doesn't work. I can't play anything.
Thanks in advance.

Have you done all of this?

 

[Polaris]

Yes, I did.

Hmm, odd.

Only thing I can say is to read through this thread for a possible solution. It seems a handful of other users are experiencing the same issue.

These days I simply cut the Steamapps folder out, uninstall steam, download the newest updater, reinstall steam.

Easiest, fastest solution. But it pisses me off that the updater doesn't work properly.

download the newest updater

What is newest updater? I tried to reinstall Steam but it doesn't work.

I dunno. I just get the one from steampowered.com, and download the one that you get when it says 'Get Steam Now!'
