I need some help to understand why this happens. At least once every other month, when I get off the game and try and play the next game, I go to open it on steam, but it's greyed out. When I try and look at the files in the steam folder, they are all there, but once I open the game, it deletes all of them, and downloads the entire game again. I have terrible internet, maybe 5 mbps on average, so downloading takes an entire day. Why does this keep happening and does anyone know how I can stop it? It does it on any drive I have, whether it's an HDD or SSD, and I can't copy the game from an external hard drive since when I try it on Steam, it does the Allocating Disk Space thing, and then redownloads it, even if it discovered every file. It's super frustrating and I can't keep doing this.
