Cant install game via Steam, appmanifest.acf error


 Share

Hi all. I wanted to update the game, but I couldnt even download the update. It always showed me some error with appmanifest.acf file. So I uninstalled the game, hoping it will solve my problem. Now I cant even install game. It shows me   appmanifest_236390.acf  error. Any suggestions?

Right click on game's installation folder (War Thunder folder) and uncheck the Read-only option.

Let me know if it helps.

No it doesnt help :/

 

Repair the game using steam (check game files).

Also, use game's launcher if you can.

(Can I also have the error's screenshot?)

Can you right click on your Steam's and War Thunder's folders, and open properties?

Give me a screenshot from Security tab.

In the 2nd picture, in the security tab, you can find one marked in blue (selected) select ones under it and give screenshot of each of them.

I think that I cant do it. It looks like everything is already checked

Ok, thanks for the update.

Can you make sure everything for this one are checked?

If yes, do the following:

Press Windows key + R (RUN) and type the following and click ok:

steam://flushconfig

This will delete download cache, and steam's cache, you will need to re-login to Steam.

If it doesn't help, go to steam's directory and open navigate to steamapps, right click on "downloading" and check security tabs and make sure everything is checked, also in the properties' general tab, make sure Read-only is not checked (not filled with a black square as well, the check box must be empty).

Glad to hear that!

The 1st solution to your issue was downloading official launcher, I thought you wanted to stay with Steam:lol2:

Always make sure this folder is not Read-only and all users have access to it:

Steam/Steamapps/downloading

When i uncheck it, click on Use and OK and open it again, the box is checked again 

If the issue with writing data happens, uncheck the folder and check the security folder.
