The Steam client offers a feature that verifies the integrity of your game cache. Follow the steps below to do so.

Please note: Do not run this process while performing other system-intensive processes, such as defragmenting your hard drive or scanning for viruses.

1. Load Steam.
2. From the Library section, right-click on a game and select Properties.
3. Select the Local Files tab and click the Verify integrity of game cache... button.
4. Allow Steam will verify the game's files. This process may take several minutes.
5. Once the process is completed, the Check Window will automatically exit.

Important! One or more files may fail to verify. This is normal for most Steam games. The files that fail to verify are local configuration files that should not be replaced as part of this process. You can safely ignore this message. 

Deleting the Battle.net Cache Folder

A corrupted cache folder can cause issues with some Blizzard games. Deleting this folder will not affect your game data and may resolve issues caused by outdated files.

1. Close all Blizzard processes.

   2. Select the Processes tab.
