![]() Overall, to change any such settings u must be running as an Admin user. If you reformat and then copy data over from another system or drive, if the Owner User names differ then u have to do this method to unlock it all for your current user. Read only is there for certain things by default, but by doing this to a root folder such as Steam, it helps to ensure every file and folder within it gets it's read-only properties (if was locked in previous) removed. Then remove the Read Only checkbox from the General tab and apply. Now select both the Admin and Your User and give those accounts full control and apply. Simply right click the root Steam folder > Properties > Security tab > Edit. that's how i had this issue before, had to reformat completely and reinstall to fix.ĭoesn't matter if u reformat OS and then copy stuff over and the users are different. Originally posted by Pepper:normally stuff like this happens when you've used the drive in other windows installs or systems without reformating it before switching it to another system, so you're no longer the user with the proper permissions for the drive. I'll run an error check, and post back here with the results :) Thank you! I do have a spinning HD, as you properly suspected. If it's an SSD, by the time you get a disk write error, you're already screwed. from my experience even if it "works" once, it'll just start failing again two weeks down the road. I don't share KillerB's faith in a HD's ability to repair errors itself. If it finds more than a couple dozen, ensure your backups are up-to-date (you keep backups right?) and buy a new disk because it's going down in flames. If it finds and fixes a few errors, you're probably ok. It'll probably take a couple hours unless your disk is tiny. (Unless you're running Windows 2000 or XP, defrag is pretty much useless.)Īssuming you're running a spinning HD, you need to run a full error-check (make sure you check for bad blocks as well). It might even make them worse by having your HD chug without accomplishing anything meaningful. Originally posted by Mecha Gamera:With respect to KillerB, Defrag won't do anything about disk errors. I'm not sure why this suddenly happened, I'd never encountered this in over 25 game installations. Then right click your Steam launch icon and click 'Run as administrator". In Windows Explorer go to your Steam directory (C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/) and make sure the directory is NOT read only. Right clicking the games in the library, clicking properties, and then clicking "Browse Local Files" did nothing either.Īny suggestions? Anything I should try? Thank you! I wasn't able to locate either the War of the Roses or the Chivalry folder before I deleted it, so I'm not sure where it is downloading the files (ie. I exited GMod, and downloaded Chivalry (with no other downloads occurring). Garry's Mod had no trouble installing, launching, and running. After deleting both games from my hard drive, I proceeded to download Garry's Mod to test if it was the games or something wrong with my hard drive. So I figured somewhere along the line the download had become corrupted, so I went into my library right clicked each game and clicked "Delete local content". The issue persisted after both a Steam restart, and a computer restart. Left4Dead managed to update successfully, but I wasn't able to launch either Chivalry or War of the Roses, both games gave me this error: ![]() So, feeling in the mood for some Medieval fighting, I began the download for both items concurrently, along with an update to Left4Dead 2. I purchased War of the Roses during the Weekend Steam Sale, and Chivalry during the Holiday Steam Sale. The problem I have is with two games, Chivalry: Medieval Warfare and War of the Roses. ![]() I've searched the forums for solutions to the error I'm having, but nothing has worked. ![]()
