Steam doesn't download DayZ

Hi everyone,

 

I bought and installed DayZ with Steam a few months ago and was able to play with no problem. I just formated computer and try to re-install DayZ with Steam.

 

The download stops all the time, and clicking the "Download now" button starts it a few seconds then download stops immmediately (sometimes without downloading any data).

 

If I directly launch the game from desktop, I get an error message saying "Error with DayZ update (corrupted file).

 

I don't know how to solve this neither find answer on the forum. Someone please help me?

 

Thanks to everyone

First I've heard of it. Go to Dayz properties and delete all local data then try to install again.

 

You can try reinstalling steam.

 

Try installing some other game on steam, do they have no issues?

Thanks for your quick answer ;)

 

I tried first step, didn't work. So I uninstalled Steam and try to reinstall, but I get now NSIS Error (Installer integrity chack has failed...) I had the same trouble installing Steam the first time but now I can't install it at all.

 

Really don't know what to do...

Ok, try installing all available windows updates. install all of them, check again, install, check etc until no updates are available.

 

Uninstall steam if you still have it.

 

Disable antivirus and any firewall you might have.

 

Download steam from here http://media.steampowered.com/client/installer/SteamSetup.exe

 

run the installer as admin

 

run steam as admin and try to install Dayz
