so i did the thing to bypass the 7gig download, and right now it says, "Validating Steam Files" 100% complete

--but--

its says under that "validating Steam cache files" 0 of 1,


and under that at the load-bar it says "validating elder scrolls skyrim files 1 of 1


the bar appears to be full, but not doing anything...theres no done button, only a cancel button... sooo.. how long does this take? been looking at it for about 5-6 minutes

i tried redoing it, and the same thing, its like its still trying to download it / wait for it to get done downloading b4 it installs/validates

finnaly got it to work.. 3rd times a charm
