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.

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

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.
