Corrupt file error while trying to install Vermintide 2

Installation

Issue Description (Required):

I’ve had a problem for the past few months where I have been going to install Vermintide 2 and it gets to about 63% and then stops and gives me a corrupt files error. I’ve watched several videos and read through a few forums about how to fix the problem but so far its gotten me no where. the steam page shows that it (the blue bar) downloads all the way, but the error seems to occur while trying to “unpack the game files” (the green bar under the blue one).
Idk if this is the right place to post about it and ask questions but I’m getting no where doing it myself, even other forums like /steam or /steamsupport aren’t any help

Sorry to hear this @RCoop4234

Do you have an alternative drive that you could try installing Vermintide 2 to?

Otherwise, it may be helpful to check your drive:

  1. Navigate to ‘This PC’ (or ‘My Computer’)
  2. Right-click your drive
  3. Select ‘Properties’
  4. Select the ‘Tools’ tab
  5. Under ‘Error checking’, select ‘Check’
  6. A “You don’t need to scan this drive” notification may pop up if on Windows 8/10. Proceed with the scan anyway by selecting ‘Scan Drive’

If errors are produced, it is advisable to seek assistance from a qualified hardware specialist.

Otherwise, potential solutions here may also be of help:

Hi, thanks for the timely response, the problem did end up being the drive and I got it sorted out, you all have been super helpful with this and I have Vermintide 2 fully installed. I really can’t thank you enough for your help, I’ve posted to several different forums and you all are the first to have responded, and identified the problem immediately. I’m super excited to get back to slaying rats!
