📌 Issue Description:
If the game encounters a corrupted file error (vpk.dll) while the player is still in a match in Deadlock, Steam does not properly start the file integrity verification. The verification progress remains stuck at 0% indefinitely, and it only begins after the match ends or when the player receives a penalty.

🛠️ Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Launch Deadlock and join a match.
  2. During the match, an error related to vpk.dll being corrupted occurs, triggering Steam’s file verification process.
  3. Steam displays the verification message, but the progress remains stuck at 0% indefinitely.
  4. The verification only starts once the match ends or if the player receives a penalty.

⚠️ Expected Behavior:
Steam’s integrity verification should immediately start after detecting the corrupted file, regardless of the match status. This would prevent players from being unable to fix the issue promptly.
