Everytime I restart steam, It likes to just screw over all my games and say they are not installed, but all the files are still there. But you know, It still fully redownloads the whole game. Anyone know how to fix this or is it a problem with steam hiring 3 year olds with autism to code their program?

I have similar problems with Steam. Its really really annoying, I feel your pain. I have yet to find a solution to this, I will usually restart Steam once or twice and if that doesnt work usually rebooting my PC works.

I've never have a Steam issue. I've been a user for a long time and I've never once had any problems like this.

then you've done something, the only reason that would happen is if you played around with the steam directory. I've never encountered such a problem, and i haven't heard of one either.

Does the steam suport webpage have anything to say about this? Have you tried deleating your .blob files? Steam should recreate them... make backups before you delete.
