Almost ever game in my steam library said "requires update"

Perhaps something's wrong with your Steam. Or you didn't launch it for multiple decades.

It uses markdown instead bb.

Happend to me when Steam support told me to change my account's language to English. It downloaded language packs and I wasn't able to stop it. I hope you have a good internet connection :/

Its just a bug try to delete everything on your steam folder except Steam.exe file and steamapps folder and then start Steam.exe let it update itself (this might take a while). Well, that should solve your problem actually this method solves lots of problems. Also I've had that problem once with my Half-Life games every single one of them wanted to update itself even though I didnt install any of them and when i try to stop/delete those games they just pop up after a restart. Anyway like i said that should solve your problem

This could happen if you change the language in Steam. Have you looked in the downloads tab how much Steam wants you to download? Let one download start and look how much you need to download. You can also try to verifify the game files.

I think something on valves end went all screwy because when i got on today i had to reenter my password and all my steam settings were back at defaults.

bump. Because I have the same problem
