Kierax2016 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) Just moved to 10565, and noticed a problem that has occurred with Steam, and wondering if anyone could give me a help to overcoming it. Trying to run Left For Dead 2 which I have just downloaded, the game loads the Valve head guy, then minimizes to "finishing installation" this climbs to 100% then fails with Error 53. .I am running Steam with elevated privileges .It's a fresh install of Steam due to old external with library on dying ( boo ) .I've run malware/Virus scans and come up clear, and given exceptions within Defender, and disabled CCleaner and MalwareAntiBytes. .Rebooted a few dozen times. I am lost, either it's a problem Steam has with this build, or something I am missing? (also a 728kb screenshot is not 2mb which the upload is complaining I am trying to upload over it's precious limit!)screenshot Edited October 17, 2015 by Kierax2016 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1275656-10565-and-steam-error-53/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Nite Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Have you looked for the error on the steam site yet? I found this and this with some steps to follow.

Kierax2016 Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 Yup followed steps and same issue. Interestingly I can run TF2 no problems, it's only Left For Dead 2 having issues.

Kierax2016 Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 In addition I have not changed my software configuration since the RTM build. Yet this error occurred. I've ensured firewall and Defender are giving permissions for the folder. Totally stumped and I have gone over those guides before!

Kierax2016 Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 .Installed Direct X, C++ X86 and X64 .Turned off Defender, given all permissions to access Firewall to both Steam, and Left For Dead 2. .Permitted Steam client to launch with Admin privileges. I still get error 53. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1275656-10565-and-steam-error-53/#findComment-597093386 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierax2016 Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 Finally fixed this. Turns out I had it installed (my library) on my usb 2.0 Seagate 1TB. Based on a whim I deleted this library (only two games installed anyways) and re-downloaded all of it to my usb 3.0 Samsung 1TB. For some unknown reason it now works just fine.
