I get about two minutes of gameplay now that I get this error constantly. Once I get this it just kicks me out of the game and tells me to verify files. I verify them and launch the game again. I still on my get about 2 minutes.

The only temporary solution I've found is completely uninstalling it and reinstalling the game. This gives me maybe 30 minutes of time to play. But since the game take 2 hours to download that solution won't work.

I've also tried to look for the fabled steam app id text file. Never found it. Tried moving one .dll file to another folder. That did nothing. Tried deleting everything but the packages folder and then verifying. That also didn't work. I've tried pretty much anything I can find.

Any help at all would be appreciated.

Edit: I have no idea what I did but I fixed it, somehow.
