Long Update Validation Times Regrettably, some users experience long periods of "validation" after Steam has downloaded even a small update. This is not to do with the download size but is due to how the Unreal Engine data is packaged and how Steam’s updates are distributed. We're talking with Steam and Epic about ways to improve this. We will limit our updates to important fixes and not do them too regularly, although in our launch week we plan to do them almost daily.

Verify your Updated Files to prevent crashes After you update the game, use the "Verify Game Files" option to check your game files. A number of players are reporting Steam did not correctly apply the updates, causing their game to crash. Please note we have no control over how Steam applies updates. We have reached out to Valve about the issue.

Step 1:

Right Click on ICARUS in your library



Step 2:

Select Local Files and Verify Game Files, as below.
