Steam – Can’t update Steam games, due to “corrupt update files”

steam

I have an update for CS:GO and Dota 2, but when trying to update the game it pauses abruptly, normally near the end, with the pause message "CORRUPT UPDATE FILES". Here is an example of what they look like:

An image of CS:GO and Dota 2 in my steam queue being affected by this problem.

How can I fix this?

Currently I have tried the following ways to resolve this, none of them have worked:

    1. Navigate to the steam library that CS:GO is located in.
    2. Enter the downloading folder, steamapps/downloading/.
    3. Delete all files and folders with 730. This is as 730 is CS:GO's app ID.
    4. Try updating CS:GO.

  2. Verify integrity of game cache.

  3. Clear download cache.
  4. Update the game from another account, as a forum post suggested this.
  5. Reboot PC.
  6. Update game from a fresh OS.
  7. Uninstall the game, and then re-install.

There seems to be a problem with installing a game on a ntfs-partition with Steam on Linux. Try to mount your ntfs partition with these options in your /etc/fstab file:

defaults,exec,uid=1000,gid=1000
