Are you experiencing poor performance while playing your favorite Steam game? Verifying the game files might just be the answer you're looking for. Here's a step-by-step guide about how to verify your game files on Steam to resolve game performance issues.
Launch the Steam application installed on your PC. Make sure you’re logged into your account.
Once you’ve logged into Steam, access your Library. Navigate to the game that you’d like to verify. If you have the game installed, it will appear in your Library tab.
Once inside your Library, right-click on the game that you’d like to verify. This will create a pop-up menu. Select Properties from the menu.
From the Properties page, select the Local Files tab. Now, select the Verify Integrity of Game Cache button. This will initiate the process of validating your installed game files.
Once the verification process is complete, re-launch the game and check if the performance issue has been resolved. If not, try repeating the process again.
