Report Crash & Bug VPK Files corrupted - Getting unfairly ban .. Any dev help ?

[S7v7N]

Hi guys,

I'm opening this thread because I've repeatedly encountered a game file problem indicating that a content file is corrupted (I've attached a screenshot).

This problem has occurred several times; it first happened when launching the game. I couldn't launch it and consistently received this error code. I verified the integrity of the game files through Steam, and no problems were found, yet the bug persisted. So, I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it on a different hard drive.

The game worked again, but after two matches, I was disconnected by the same bug, and since then, I haven't been able to launch the game.

Thank you

I saw that quite a few players had this problem in January and reported it on the forum, but I don't understand why no admin or dev is responding or providing a solution? We're not responsible for this bug, so why is there no answer?

If you get a corrupt .vpk error, disable XMP/EXPO in your motherboard BIOS/UEFI. If that fails, update/reset the BIOS/UEFI to defaults, lower RAM frequency in 500-1000 MHz steps from stock, and if problems persist, test and/or replace the RAM. This issue often indicates unstable RAM and occurs in other Source 2 games.

As you already told, it seems that i have to replace RAM ? It's not realistic at all, there are many players which has the same Bug, and for all these players, the problem only affects Deadlock, so it's clearly not the RAM directly involved. My RAM was changed 6 months ago, and I haven't had any problems until now. I don't understand how a bug like this can persist when it was reported by players a year and a half ago.

The bug keeps happening, sometimes with other corrupted files now, and I'm now banned for several hours... This doesn't even allow me to do any further testing...

I've noticed that I often get the error message when I launch the game, but also when I change instances, for example when I join a game, or load a menu; that's when the game crashes with a message about a corrupted file (it's not always the same file).

your best bet is my comment in posted thread above.

open game
if no errors, spectate games for 1h
if no errors go play - only solution out here

for some reason developers completely silent on this topic
