Now open steam and it will reacquire a new clientregistry.blob and try to download again. DO NOT DELETE THIS FILE as it is recommended not to delete the Old.blob as it may be used later to determine recurring issues. Now locate a file called clientregistry.blob and rename it to clientregistryold.blob. To refresh these files you must first exit steam completely, then go into your steam directory (defaulted to C:/Program Files/Steam). Refreshing the clientregistry.blob and winui.gcf files in your steam folder. Delete the folder and any state_570_#.patch files to restart the download again. 570 is the steamid number for Dota 2 (as seen on the dota 2 store page). To remove the downloaded files that might be causing the game to no longer continue to update/download correctly all you need to do is to open up your steam directory (This is usually defaulted to C:/Program Files/Steam) and open steamapps, downloading and locate any folders associated with the number 570. *Make sure you pause any downloads before you attempt* Removing the Dota 2 files from the downloading folder. Wait for this to complete and then resume your download. Click the local files tab and you should see an option to verify integrity of game cache. Make sure that the download is paused and right click Dota 2, click properties and a new window will open. To verify the integrity of the game cache simply open steam to your library where all your games are, locate Dota 2. Verify the integrity of the game cache. If I have left any out please PM and leave a message below for me to add it to the guide please.
