not completely resolved, i still can't find appdata, but i checked hidden files and everything, im glad for the help tho, on steam when i scan the integrity of the files it just redownloads all of them, it doesn't work even after that because it happens every time i scan the files... im wondering if it's just my laptop, im on a surface-pro and that might be the problem, i will keep trying to problem solve and update you if i figure it out, that way if anyone else experiences this i can be helpful to them as well :)
