Ask Steam support.

Do not have a outdated OS

Steam is windows 10 and 11 only.

ps.
I Dont think any will suggest anything then to7y have uninstall and reinstall steam,
So technicaly, you can look for leftover files, but should they not be delete at uninstall..

And we all know how left over files can screw things up, we see its with modded games, mst have learn this at windows and games.

Thats dont excuess a uninstall procedur.


Best advice is check path in steam log and see if there is a chunck corupted file.

And you still end up with tell steam support this, in what they should fix with a uninstall or DL that should clean up after itself, again it actual require that file is upload ata steam server is corupted, So cahnge steam DL server zone.

Again we are over in sync and corruption file among servers, even this shold correct itself.

Alot of things here don't add up, So either you are a past OS or upload content from game devs is the issue.

What are the odds you are not a win10+ here. ( and yet we still see steam user have past OS and how shall we put ignore or live under a rock and have no clue steam has change compression for 1gb line, or should i say it win10+ only support.

and as steam user here, we cant test old OS we dont have anymore, and we cant help you.

So contact steam support or do have a win10+
or what are the odds a game devs screwup own files, so contact them.


Do not underestimate update own BIOS and Chipset drivers, we dont say this anymore , becuase ppl have auto update apps, do check they actual doing its job aka task. from whatever Brand support page.
