2023: How to Verify Game File Integrity on Steam UPDATED Guide

Quick guide on how to verify the integrity of games files you have installed on steam. This is helpful for identifying if any of your files are broken or missing. Just go to your steam Library, Find the game thats having issues, right click it and go to "Properties" from where select "Local Files" and then you can click the option to "Verify the Integrity of Game files" which will start a scan of all the installed files for that game.

This worked for my PGA Tour 2K23 issue! It kept saying I was offline and I tried everything. Reddit rooms, etc. Sharing for others who experience the same (common) issue. Thank you!

Had installed a mod for Star Wars Battlefront II (2005) and it suggested verifying files to uninstall it. Glad I know about this now and thanks for showing it to us.

I play Supreme Commander Forged Alliance and it always asks if I want to let valve make changes. Is that ok?

Okay, but what if the game is just added? and not bought or installed from steam? because i really need to verify cracked raft and it never works :(

Does pausing while Steam downloading and continuing after 5 minutes, affects the download files quality ?
