1.32 and 1.4 (Final) opt in version Game files not being loaded or verified via Steam

This is corrupting my games

from GalCiv3 Forums

Since ver 1.32 and including in 1.4 optin final version the game files have either not been downloaded or verified properly via steam causing ingame bugs such as ships not being able to colonise,shipyards not being able to build ships or buy them? and when I escape to the main menu I cant save or load games. I have just verified the game files 4 times in a row and each time theres been files missing causing the same problems over and over again!

 

p.s I want to apologise to the players whom have subbed my workshop designs about the delay this is causing on releasing new designs.

pps when the game does work it also gets stuck on wait turn which I've just had happened.

Have you done the Steam refresh trick? I had a similar thing for 1.3, but refreshing my files sorted it out. I'll see if I can dig out the link; it's a steam problem rather than a GC3-specific thing (not that Valve appear to give a damn - it's been ongoing with many games for about a year).

i think i have the same problem With steam, however everything Works fine except the Console command and the Wheel is still in the game despite it being 1.4 finale.

also what do they mean specificly (Launce from install folder ?) does this mean i have to install steam again or are they refering to somthing else

(a link or a description will help, also i am not a native English speaker, so its a bit harder to grasp the concept of it.)

It means go to where Steam is installed on the computer, rather than launching it from the desktop shortcut. I think by default it's c:\program files(x86)\Steam.
