Important Notes Before Starting
- Verifying game files will remove all mods. If you have any mods installed, back them up first.
- This process may take time. Depending on your internet connection and how many files need to be repaired, verification can take from a few minutes to several hours.
- You'll need sufficient disk space. Make sure you have enough free disk space for temporary files during verification.
- Be prepared for large downloads - this can range from 1GB to 50GB+ depending on how many files need to be repaired.
