Constantly fighting corrupt VPK files.

[Siyavash]

Does anyone have any fix for these Corrupted VPK files? I've tried reinstalling multiple times, deleted files than verified, tried changing from vulkan to direct 11. Nothing seems to have worked.

I see reddit, forum, and steam hub posts from a year ago with this same issue. Does valve just not care?

Did you do a complete uninstall. Sometimes steam doesn't remove all the related files to a program when it is uninstalled. I would uninstall via windows, which roots you to steam. Then go to the steamapp file location and make sure the deadlock file has been removed completely before reinstalling.

*EDIT* Also, make sure the VPK file isn't a modded file. Might be out of date.
