Forever Validating

[medkitz]

My tf2 rarely launches and it takes like 14 Validations just to work on a good day... Help?

Have to let it finish validating. if it says 100% and hangs that's completely normal. Like everything Valve it lies.

Or like me validates then forces me to fully reinstall.

defrag your cache to circumvent it. right click tf2, then properties, then the 3rd tab, then the last option.

I had the same problem lately... After multiple reinstalls, defrags etc, TF2 is finally semi stable, though steam still crashes occasionally, only when launching TF2. Other Steam games work mo' better. It is true that 100% validation can take a loooong time to finish. Good Luck!

EDIT: I just got a reply from Steam sayin' there IS some wackiness with the latest update and OSX. They said that I should turn on "Beta Testing". I'll try it, maybe it will work for you?

Buying a pc soon so I no longer have to deal with this shit. But yeah, opt into steam beta and it will fix it, but I still get 10 frames per second.

I don't know I've personally never had any problems on my PC
