has anyone else ever had an issue on Steam where when you're updating a game it downloads completely, gets to a certain % Patched, and then it goes to "validating files", goes to 100% validation, starts Patching from 0% again, gets to the EXACT SAME % Patched as before, goes to Validating, and repeat to infinity?
It makes it completely impossible for me to update my games. And it keeps happening with different games. Bg3, Pathfinder WotR, WH40k RT, and also maybe SDV?? And I never see people talking abut the issue with the patches of those games, so it must be a steam problem.
Maybe it's related to why, for months, whenever I hover over anything that creates a popup (someone's profile, or a game on a sale page, for example), Steam crashes and reopens. My only hope is to click quickly enough that the on hover content doesn't have time to appear.
And yes, I've tried restarting my computer, obviously. I'm pretty sure for BG3 the only thing that worked was uninstalling and reinstalling the game. With WotR I might have been able to wait for a few more patches and then try updating again, but idk for sure because it was like a year ago+.
I don't want to have to reinstall Steam completely if I can help it, especially since it and all my games and related files takes up nearly 1tb on my hard drive.
