Edit<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is important to clarify the distinction between the regular Feb Steam update and the beta program. The issues experienced have been with the beta, and not the standard update.<\/p>\n

Original<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since Valve overhauled Steam’s user interface yesterday, multiple users have reported facing serious issues with the application.<\/p>\n

The most common problem is that upon opting into the beta and updating their Steam client, some gamers are losing their game files.<\/p>\n

Somehow the update causes Steam to lose the installation files for previously installed games. This has resulted in a number of gamers reporting that Steam is detecting the game as uninstalled, and initializing the download from scratch.<\/p>\n

It is therefore recommended that gamers avoid installing the Steam update for now. If it is already too late and you are a victim of this problem, then uninstalling your game, and cleaning out all its files from the Steam Apps folder, and then reinstalling the game seems like the best solution.
