Easy peasy! Open up Steam, go to your game library, right-click the game that's acting up, and select 'Properties.' Head over to the 'Local Files' tab and click on 'Verify integrity of game files.' Steam will do its thing and replace any missing or corrupt files with fresh ones. Bam, you're ready to game on!

If you backed up your game files before, you can restore them through Steam. Go to the top left corner, click on 'Steam,' then 'Backup and Restore Games...' Follow the instructions, and you should be good to go. Remember, always back up your games!

Just delete the game and reinstall it. Fastest way to fix everything if you've got decent internet.
