Game is stuck in perpetual download
Can anyone help, ive tried clearing the steam cache several times but the game says its still downloading even though it already says 93g/93g I dont know what to do, I've left the my computer one for the entire day but the doesnt seem to completely download or something.

Ive tried uninstalling but it doesnt uninstall, I really want to play this game and any help to get it running would be appreciated.

its not downloading - its unpacking....steam issue.
Just let it do its thing or try pausing and resume it.

You may have to fight it - its just a pain in the ass issue.
Had to fight mine to get it to finish.

Also make sure you have admin rights, and you may need to disable your antivirus until you get an exception in for Steam / ME. I just know AVG had no love for DAI and ME3 for a while until it got fixed, and I had to disable it for them to run even with an exception in.

After that, try this:

it only shows the word "downloading" even tho its at 93/93g already, I've managed to have other 8 other games updated ahead of it just to see if its a connection problem, but Its the only thing that is "downloading" cleared the steam cache several times already, doesnt seem to have any effect.

the download page already has the "play" button in blue but everytime i click on it, it brings up a small window that has a progress bar that isnt moving and i already clicked the box launch when ready. still nothing.

how do you fight the install? the page on my library still has a blue pause button on it, and it doesnt seem to do anything even if i click it. its getting really frustrating all i want is to play this full game again and the install is killing my desire to do it :(
