If you wanna force an update, sometimes changing your 'Download Region' in Steam settings can do the trick. It makes Steam think you're somewhere else and might push the update faster.
Just delete the game and redownload it. Sure, it's the nuclear option, but it guarantees you get the latest version.
Restart Steam. Seriously, sometimes that's all it takes. Steam checks for updates when it launches, so closing and reopening it can trigger the update you're waiting for.
