I recently had a fresh install of windows, and I had to re d/l dod:s and all steam stuff. I wanted to start DOD:S up to try the new maps and got that error:

dod\gameinfo.txt is not a valid format

I went into my dod:s folder and found the txt file, there's nothing in it, its just an empty text document. I tried deleting it and start dod:s again to re d/l the file and it says the same thing. SHould I just delete dod:s and re d/l it? or is there something i'm missing?

ps. I got this error even before DOD:S could load. So its not an ingame error.

if you mean manually going to in the file to 'verify' that its there,then yes. If you mean something else, then no

Try right clicking on DoD:S in your games list, going to properties and clicking "Verify..." under the local files tab.
