Question: Is there a way for me to uninstall just the patches, and reinstall those together? Steam still is having trouble downloading the patch, so no game for me... again. Would very much like to know how to fix this.

I have not yet. I guess I need to copy my save files elsewhere when I delete game, and replace them once it is back? Or do I need to restart completely?

Verify cache on Steam. See if that works. I already did at request of a dev on my post. I did, and it still has issues. Goes back and forth on installing and verifying and essentially refuses to download now. Hours of it.

I hope no one minds a bump for help.

Argh. Then I have no idea what is going on Oh well, at least I know now. Thank you.

I would like to know if similar fixes are available for Steam too. I can't get the game to launch since the download keeps failing.

Might this apply for Steam users too? I can't launch the game due to a "corrupt file" after a very troubled download.

Update: Hours later and the download is still cycling between installing and validating. Going to try exiting Steam and trying again I guess

Steam restarted the download on its own. Did the download, again super slowly. It seems to be stuck on Validating alternating with Installing- it goes through that a few times. I've been waiting half an hour on that or so to see if it gives me the same error message. Will see what happens and let you know.

Alrighty, just did as you requested. Took a few minutes to validate. 100% complete now and "All files successfully validated." Shall I try to redo the download now?

Hello again, I believe that Steam is trying to carry out an update that launched yesterday while I was traveling. However, it is not going well. It takes a very long time for not that large of a file, on very good wireless.... and concludes with a pop-up message ""An error occurred while updating Pillars of Eternity (corrupt content files). Please go to the Steam Support site for more information". So I do... which just takes me to these forums. The game won't launch without the patch, and the patch doesn't get applied due to a corrupt file. I do not know what to do besides pester the forums and wait impatiently. Or go back to playing D3 - you guys are friendly so I can't be too grumpy for now. A few days ago I did finally get the work-around to the Never Far From The Queen quest to function. I hadn't been able to play since 3/27 or so, and got to start playing just a few days ago, now it won't even launch. Did the work-around mess up the patch somehow? I wouldn't think that the patch would interfere with a save file, but I am rather clueless on these things. I did post in another thread about the patch, so hopefully I'm not spamming you guys. I don't know if anyone else is having the same issue as me though. Ideas? Hints?

There is an update required, I assume this patch (since I played two days ago without). The download fails on Steam. Message as follows "An error occurred while updating Pillars of Eternity (corrupt content files)". I'll have to also look at the Steam support site now. Game won't even open to play because it wants an update. Is this because I had to do the workaround for Never Far From the Queen? Steam just leads me back here. Help, pretty please?

It is a new game. I expect there to be some glitches. You guys are friendly as opposed to another game's forums where I was told to piss off by the devs, when I had spent hours seeking answers on my own and tried to be polite in typing up the problems. It is hard to solve problems when you can't lurk over my shoulder at the screen too, but being nice shouldn't be too much trouble! I'd rather a game be with friendly devs trying to help than a bunch of butts who don't fix anything and are mean. The quest is also much more interesting when I can talk my way in rather than zerg. Granted, I kinda want to slay the baddies for their loot still.... but perhaps I'll hold off this time

It worked! The area was reset and I progressed in the general wear-hood-talk-it-out fashion! Hopefully I haven't messed up anything in Dyrford or other areas. I did *all* of the side quests that I could find that weren't related to the main quest before. Thanks again! *hugs*

Fortunately, I did copy the save file (and have a bunch of others suitable). Rename the whole thing to savefile.zip instead of just the ending on it, then? The workaround says to "Delete "First_Fires_Ruins.lvl" and "First_Fires_Ruins.fog". What should I be renaming those to in order to reset them? Thanks for the help - hopefully I can get it cleared up tonight. Eager to get playing again!
