That's a Steam error rather than a game problem.

First clear the download cache in Steam.


If that does not help try a **clean** reinstall of Steam and game:


- Remove the game from Steam (uninstall)
- exit the Steam app entirely
- Manually delete all these files and folders, if still there:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BattleTech\
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Harebrained Schemes\
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\USER_ID\ 637090\
(first move the \remote\C#\SGS#\ folder elsewhere to keep your save games)

- delete everything in the Steam folder EXCEPT steam.exe and the SteamApps folder
- run steam.exe to rebuild all that
- Install the game again

- add steam.exe and BattleTech.exe to the Whitelist of your antivirus app, whatever it is


Good luck!
