Kimberlee Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I have no idea why this is happening, but I would like a final answer to what I can do about a problem I have been having for a VERY long time now. Quite simply, New Vegas keeps needing me to reacquire files. I can verify files and steam will think I need to reacquire 3.8 GB worth of files. If I IMMEDIATELY ask steam to reacquire files again - not even launching the game, it will say I need to reacquire 5 GB of files. (These are 2 real world examples.) Aside from the numerous problems I have been having with New Vegas modwise, I would really like this fixed up. Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions.

McclaudEagle Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I think this happened to me, and the only way I fixed it was to use Revo Uninstaller to uninstall the game, wipe out any and all traces of its existence and install again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberlee Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Man I was so hoping there was a setting or a change I could make to steam that would fix this instead.... Thank you for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberlee Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 SO after deleting ALL Fallout New Vegas files from my computer (Including everything from my documents including save games) using revo uninstaller, I did a fresh install of New Vegas. Launched the game, created a character, saved the game at the vigor tester and exited the game. Immediately went to steam to see if steam thought I needed to reacquire new files for New Vegas. Said I needed 10 files at 5.4 GB Deleting and reinstalling New Vegas did not fix my issue. Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
