Recover broken .acf files #3665

Open altitude opened 9 years ago

altitude commented 9 years ago

Yesterday I was playing Borderlands 2. Today the Steam client wants me to install it.

When launching the client from a shell, I get some interesting output about an  appmanifest_49520.acf file, which I believe has something to do with Borderlands 2 according to this

Error while parsing text KeyValues for resource /home/superzamp/.local/share/Steam/steamap /appmanifest_49520.acf

Here's a gist with the full client output and said appmanifest file.

Here is any way to recover the game without downloading it all over again ?

Thanks.

Hello @altitude, quite belated but Steam attempts to discover existing game files during the install process, so if you tell Steam to install to the game to a steamapps folder that already has the game, it should skip downloading files which match what's on Steam's servers.
