Honestly, just reinstall the game. Verifying takes forever and half the time, you end up needing to reinstall anyway.

Just a heads up, some games might take a while to verify, especially the big ones. So, maybe grab a coffee or something while you wait.

Did the whole verify thing once, and it actually fixed an issue where my game wouldn't start. Was pleasantly surprised!

Super easy! Just right-click the game in your Steam library, go to 'Properties,' then hit the 'Local Files' tab and click 'Verify Integrity of Game Files.' Steam will do its magic and fix any corrupted files for ya!
