Kierax2016 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) Just moved to 10565, and noticed a problem that has occurred with Steam, and wondering if anyone could give me a help to overcoming it. Trying to run Left For Dead 2 which I have just downloaded, the game loads the Valve head guy, then minimizes to "finishing installation" this climbs to 100% then fails with Error 53. .I am running Steam with elevated privileges .It's a fresh install of Steam due to old external with library on dying ( boo ) .I've run malware/Virus scans and come up clear, and given exceptions within Defender, and disabled CCleaner and MalwareAntiBytes. .Rebooted a few dozen times. I am lost, either it's a problem Steam has with this build, or something I am missing? (also a 728kb screenshot is not 2mb which the upload is complaining I am trying to upload over it's precious limit!)screenshot Edited October 17, 2015 by Kierax2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Nite Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Have you looked for the error on the steam site yet? I found this and this with some steps to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierax2016 Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 Yup followed steps and same issue. Interestingly I can run TF2 no problems, it's only Left For Dead 2 having issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierax2016 Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 In addition I have not changed my software configuration since the RTM build. Yet this error occurred. I've ensured firewall and Defender are giving permissions for the folder. Totally stumped and I have gone over those guides before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierax2016 Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 .Installed Direct X, C++ X86 and X64 .Turned off Defender, given all permissions to access Firewall to both Steam, and Left For Dead 2. .Permitted Steam client to launch with Admin privileges. I still get error 53. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierax2016 Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 Finally fixed this. Turns out I had it installed (my library) on my usb 2.0 Seagate 1TB. Based on a whim I deleted this library (only two games installed anyways) and re-downloaded all of it to my usb 3.0 Samsung 1TB. For some unknown reason it now works just fine.
