Make sure your anti virus is not blocking CoH2

try this


Since it says your art files are corrupt, you could try deleting them and have verify cache fix it?

Perhaps your hard drive is too full, delete a game you do not play anymore.

Ok I double checked your suggestions from the first comment and again, nothing.

And I triple checked my anti-virus (Windows Defender), still nothing.

Flushing as I expected sadly also doesn't work.

I deleted the "corrupt" files, I even deleted the entire folders, Steam just re-downloads the corrupt files again. Verifying the game cache doesn't work either, says some things are corrupt and need to be re-downloaded, it redownloads them and still says it has corrupt files in the download.

I have at least 40 gigs on both of my partitions.

Strange thing is I'm running into 2 additional problems now:

Bayonetta from my friend's shared library also tells me that there is something wrong with it's files and it doesn't also download.

And Dota 2 gave me the same problems a couple of weeks ago when I wanted to delete my items from there.

The other problem I'm having is that my disk usage stays at 100% most of the time and now I'm also trying to fix it as well.

It's really weird, the 100% disk usage and the download problems sort of came along hand in hand together like 1 or 2 or 3 weeks ago out of nowhere.

And I don't think it's my hard disk, altho this is an old laptop from 2011 I don't think it's that fucked up, unless there is dust built up inside it, but then again why and how would dust manage to fuck with the HDD, I think dust can only cause trouble for fan components such as the processor and video card.

Is this the only similar problem you encounter? Read/write errors may indicate corrupted RAM. You may want to run a RAM check, for example - https://www.howtogeek.com/260813/how-to-test-your-computers-ram-for-problems/

Yeah... Thanks for the suggestion but I doubt it's my RAM.

I have not heard this error before. Not to insult you, have you tried restarting steam, if so here is a quick google search results I have found that might help.
-run disk check
-check anti virus
-run CoH2 in administrative mode

from here you can try this Show Spoiler

*If you do a Steam install, be sure not to delete the Steamapps folder. For example:
a) MOVE the "Steamapps" folder elsewhere (don't copy), then
b) DELETE steam completely
c) DELETE the remaining folders for Steam
d) Reinstall Steam (point to the same folder through settings->library.. if not default)
e) MOVE Steamapps folder and replace the new one
f) VERIFY each game in Steam prior to launching.

Thanks, I'll try that when I have some time on my hands.

You can also double BAR.

Nevertheless, the OP seems to be unaware of how ELO and asking for advice works.

Well I couldn't double BAR or M1919A6s the last time I played USF, and that was Friday I believe.

I think Mortar pits and bofors guns should be able to be decrewed before they are destroyed like German Flak emplacements. This will start a slight manpower bleed if the positions are decrewed but the area is still defended, and in certain scenarios where a position is overrun the enemy can actually capture and use Bofors guns or mortar emplacements. And they can be re-captured, etc.

Either that or prevent Flak emplacements from being decrewed.

This was the case during and a little bit after the UKF Alpha and release of the Brits.

I have no idea why they changed it.

You mean how the USF got laser accurate pin point nuclear launching mortars and how OKW got the worst MG to ever exist to match? How long did it take to fix that nonsense? Seems like their wanting to round out the differences broke the game for a very long time even more than it already was.

The developers originally made the factions different, I think they did that to add fun to the game. Slowly slowly the game just becomes rounded and all the factions become the same.

Don't get me wrong I am all for the efforts of the community and the teams making the patches, but I prefer we focus hard trying to balance things best we can rather than out right altering things over and over until the game becomes just bland team vs bland team. I love switching form USF to Brit to OKW. Lots of great variety to be had.

So by your logic we shouldn't ever touch balance again, out of fear of breaking something?

The MG34's performance didn't change much since the beginning but it was always there, even if it was at first doctrinal but still remains better than the Maxim if you ask me.

You said it yourself, even with the "rounded" changes, they still offer great variety.

Just because each has the basic support weapon tools doesn't mean they're all the same.

I mean, why not have an Army that lacks mainline infantry or engineer units for example, or support elite units, or something else that we're so used to playing with then?

The only Army that ever did that was the PE, and Relic stopped that with them, because them and the Brits had very obvious draw backs and didn't work quite as well as the original 2 Armies.

I still believe that even if the basic tools that are the support weapons of each Army, they could still be very much unique and different, and not "team vs team" as you said, and that is shown gameplay wise.

Making this change to the Brits would not hurt balance but actually improve it, as I've noticed from my own playtime and experience with it.

You should try it yourself before you further comment on how it will break balance or how useless it will be, it might change your mind.
