Carbonautics Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Although, I think someone already has posted this somewhere, but I think this should be much easier to find in case anyone gets this problem in 'Modern Times'. First off, *turn your hacks off* man, i mean, just play like a human. All jokes aside, I won't try and explain everything, but this link should be much more helpful than my huge explanation. Link: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2117-ILZV-2837 This is an official troubleshoot from Steam for this issue, if none of these , i mean not even the smallest one solves it,................ Then you will have to reinstall Windows because your windows files are corrupted. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, executables from unknown people is not trusted by many people, so if anyone does use it and gets a virus or something, becomes too much to bear :P . I mean if you trust the source, and it does solve the problem sure, less time to waste right? (Also i'm not responsible if something like that happens using somebodies' executables, i'm sure you would say the same thing? ) Thanks for sharing :). Have a good day.

DoubleDragon Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 You can simply copy the .bat file to a text file and convert the .txt file to a .bat file by changing the extension of the .txt to a .bat and run as administrator he simply explained what each line does in his video it disables steam removes steam and then turns it back on steam does all the work for simplistically this is the link he provided not my work but I will confirm it's safe https://github.com/brokenw1nter/VACErrorInstaFixer/blob/master/VAC Error Insta Fixer.bat enable hidden file extensions https://www.howtogeek.com/205086/beginner-how-to-make-windows-show-file-extensions/ do turn extensions off after making a bat file just follow the instructions in the bat file when it pauses just be sure to log in to " your steam " cause it's not downloading it or using any one elses. @echo off title VAC Error Insta Fixer - Written by w1nter echo What's that?
