I posted on the Steam forums and got 0 response so.. I figured to post here and hope for some better luck and ideas.
Basically what happened started from yesterday. I decided to re-download CS:GO just because my friends were asking me to re-download the game again. The download went smoothly, finished in about 15+ minutes give or take. So, I closed Steam after that. I think 1-2 hours after or something around that time, I reopened Steam and had an update, so I updated and didn't think 2nd about it really. Then closed Steam again after it finished doing all of that. A little bit later, as I was about to sleep, I checked up Steam one more time, for friends etc and found that DotA 2 had a patch. So I tried to patch it and it was stuck on Queued. I figured this was a bit weird, so I tried to force the patch to go through and it then gave me the 'An error has occurred while updating DotA 2. (Download Corrupt)' I kept trying to no avail, until I finally forced it through by doing the 'Verify Integrity Game Cache' After doing it, it still was stuck on Queued but I forced it once or twice and the patch finished.
So after, I thought this wasn't normal but I closed it and went to bed. I woke up today and before working, I turned on my computer and checked Steam. I decided to test if the issue was on going and deleted DotA 2 and attempted to re-download it. It failed, being stuck on Queued, then 'An error has occurred while updating DotA 2. (Download Corrupt)' if I try to force the Queued to download. Then, I went through the usual Steam help for that, nothing worked. (I have had this issue once before so I know the general steps). I tried switching regions, checking my settings (none of them changed), even reset my internet. So as a last resort, I uninstalled Steam completely along with every game I had in the library. I used CCleaner to clean out the registry and all that after.
After I got rid of everything, I rebooted then freshly reinstalled Steam. Again, when I attempt to redownload DotA 2, it is forever stuck on Queued. I tried CS:GO (which I just re-downloaded a few hours before sleeping), same issue. Stuck on Queued and the Download Corrupt error if I try to force it. Same with Skyrim, etc.
So here I am, I have lost everything in my library for Steam in trying to fix this issue out of the blue. It has happened before, but it was very wide spread after Steam Update messed up something on a lot of computers. This time, I don't see the complaints, although I see a few people who can no longer log in.
What should I do? I did everything, should just wait and hope Steam/Valve fixes this?
