## At a glance

In Steam, open the game’s Properties, select Installed Files and choose Verify integrity of game files. This is Valve’s general installation check, not a guaranteed Hood Warfare 2 crash fix.

## Use Steam’s verification tool

Open your Steam Library.
 Open the game’s Properties.
 Select Installed Files.
 Select Verify integrity of game files and allow the process to finish.
 This is Valve’s general Steam workflow. It is not a guaranteed fix for every Hood Warfare 2 crash.

## Check the same symptom again

After verification, repeat the action that produced the error. If the issue persists, keep the original error and note that verification did not resolve it; that detail is useful in a support report.

## What verification does not establish

It does not show whether your hardware meets the requirements, whether a server is available, or whether a specific patch contains a bug.
