Steam - Verify Integrity of Game Cache

[DancZer 65]

In the Arma 2 times lot of my friends copied pbo-s to the <Path to Arma>/Addon folder to use mods. I just want to make a note that the steam verify integrity check doesn't recognize extra pbo-s in the Addon folder.

This can lead to starting the arma with extra pbo which the game load automatically and may cause the issue/crash.

Maybe you should add some cmd or bat file into to game folder for that. I think file name checking is enough because if the content changed(owerwrited file) then steam recognize it.

That's why most people keep their addons in separate folders and why it's the recommended method.

And I don't agree with the suggestion but I have to ask, what would you have Steam do when it finds files there that don't belong? Delete them?

Notify the user that those files not supposes to be there.

This is more of a Steam issue than an Arma dev branch issue. Moving to troubleshooting anyway. :)

Fair enough :) even though they should've known when they were placing those files there. But that aside, it's not hard to write a script for that. I know I said I didn't agree with the suggestion but I'll see if I can whip something up after I brush up on WScript.
