Jun 5, 2015 at 10:56 comment added akir_ Tried running Steam as an administrator, and to no avail. It works exactly the same as always. Didn't know if this would be useful at the start; it says it's downloaded 6.8 gb but in the Steam properties it only says 36 mb. I also just found out that TF2 is the only game I'm having this problem with.
Jun 5, 2015 at 0:35 comment added NBN-Alex I assume this is happening in a Windows PC? When you reinstall TF2, does the Windows UAC popup show up? Since the files are not getting touched, I have to assume it might be a permission issue with the Steam client when trying to update the folders. You can test this out by running Steam as an administrator (completely not suggested normally) by holding SHIFT and right clicking on the steam icon.
