What does verifying integrity of game cache do?

My game keeps closing and websites are saying this is the best thing to do to stop this happening.

I just wondered if anybody knew what ot did and id it would affect my saved games at all?

Cheers

It's a way of checking that a game has installed properly, any corrupt or missing files will re-download. It's worth doing on a game which isn't behaving as expected

Thanks for the quick reply Neil. So it doesn't affect game or graphics or anything?

No , it will only affect files in the original install. For example if you delete any of the default edt files, verifying the cache will replace them but it won't affect your "My Documents" folder, only those files in the Steam folder

My gta 5 is modded and if i do verify integrity of game cache will it delete all the modded files with original??????
