This has been a huge help thank you so much

This video is clear and concise, it is well made thank you. I am playing Myth of Empires and get a black screen on loading for maybe 10 mins. I verified the files and got “163 files failed to validate, these will be reacquired”! Does steam do this on its own ( reaquire the files). I have tried some of your suggestions to no avail. This just started and all of my other games are working as normal. I have had Myth of Empires for 2 years.

I needed this video for war zone 2. What worked for me was deleting the call of duty file in documents folder. If it doesn’t let you delete, force delete it by pressing shift + del, then validate game files again on steam and it should repair

Thank you.I tried a lot of fixes from other videos and nothing worked. It was method 6 here that finally fixed it for me.

MW2 is broken I’m guessing because nothing worked an everyone who does fix the issue it just reappears.
