Can't toggle into 3rd person PoV

[Neyjour]

I can't toggle into 3rd person PoV. I've tried the F key and the mouse wheel and neither will work, so I'm permanently stuck in 1st person PoV.

 

Note: I just got my game (have only been playing for about 20 mins or so) and I haven't messed with the key bindings at all, so I really don't understand what's wrong. And I have no idea how to fix it. Can someone help, please?

I would first try verifying the cache files on steam, maybe it was a problem with the download.

Okay, thanks. :smile: How exactly do I do that?

 

EDIT: Nevermind, I found their FAQ on how to do it. It found 1 file that it said would be reacquired. Hopefully that's what the problem was. Going to check it now!

 

EDIT2: Logged back into the game and nothing had changed. Still stuck in 1st person, so I ran the validator again and the same message came up:

"1 files failed to validate and will be reacquired."

 

From the way that's worded, I thought it would happen automatically, but apparently not. So, what do I have to do exactly, to get that file? I don't see any options at all to download or reacquire. There's only a "Close" button for that message and the Properties window.

 

EDIT3: I just noticed that every time I run the validation, there's a quick message at the bottom of the window about an item downloading, and then the "Items Complete" number goes up. But after that, I still get the "1 files failed" message, so I run it again, number goes up, same error message again, etc, etc, etc, etc. WTH? Is there no way to see the total number of files? And why aren't they all being downloaded in one batch? How long am I going to have to sit here and do this, over and over and over again?!!! :mad:
