Corrupt Files Crash

Getting constant file corrupt crashes, even on freshly downloaded and installed game.

This has been an ongoing issue for several months for many players.

Game is impossible to launch and indicates "downloading content 0%" for several minutes - same with game files integrity verification; stuck at 0%. Relaunching Steam, clearing download cache, uninstalling + reinstalling the game all leave the game unable to be launched for 5-10 minutes. It is to a point where nearly every published patch causes the issue.

Many community members, myself included, keep eating exponential leaver penalties as a result of this crash.

Again, this has been happening for a very long time, with seemingly no acknowledgement from Valve.

Pictured here is the magnitude of the penalty I have eaten on my second crash in 2 consecutive days as well as the corrupt file error message returned. This was on a newly installed game following the same crash some 5-10 minutes prior.

I remember troubleshooting a similar issue with street fighter 6 on steam. When I try tried to verify integrity of game files for that game, it was stuck at 0% for some reason. I remember searching for fixes and there were specific files I had to delete to fix it, but I can't recall what it was. Can't seem to find the post anymore either..

Try to reinstall the game on a completely different drive for now if you can.
 
Bumping as this occured to me again in the middle of a match after verifying files integrity.

This is beyond reasonable and the lack of acknowledgement and support for an issue happening to several users constantly for at least a year is getting tiresome.
 
Bumping this AGAIN as it occurred post patch in 30+ minutes into a game.

Did what the above poster suggested, but it does not fix the issue.

Still no acknowledgement. Still no word on a fix. Still no word on patterns.
