Download Reset fix found!

[Drl136]

Like a few of you with slow connections, i found that my Arkham Knight download had reset to 0% after pausing the download at well past 90%.

I searched google and found a fast fix. All credit to FreshFTGrave.

All you have to do after completely closing and exiting the steam client is:

1) Find the steam download folder for Arrkham Knight.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\downloading\208650

Check the folder to see what the size of all the files is. If it is around the size of your previously download amount, you are golden.

2) Copy all the the files in that folder to the game folder.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Batman Arkham Knight

You will need to create the "Batman Arkham Knight" folder with that EXACT NAME.

3) Use the search box WHILE IN THE FOLDER C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam to find "208650"

The search will provide a list of results consisting of:

-one folder (The game download folder you just copied)
-one .acf file titled "appmanifest_208650"
-several .PATCH files starting with title "state_208650_"
- two .bin files starting with title "UserGameStats"

Remove all these files from the steam folder. You can either delete them or do what i did and move them into the new folder on your desktop to be safe. Just get them out of the steam folder.

4) Restart Steam. The Arkham Knight install will be gone. Go to the game in your library and click the "Install" button that should have returned. Steam will discover the files and then figure out what is missing. It should start you NEAR where you were.

I was at 31GB when I paused my download and after following this method, I am now at 29.5GB. WAY better than restarting from scratch.

I've tried this twice and it doesn't work, can someone please create a video for it? I don't know what I'm doing wrong...

How much did you download the second time before you tried this. The second download may have reset the download folder if you let it run too long. What's the file size of the "208650" folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\downloading\

[๖ۣۜInvincible ๖ۣۜThor๖]

37.8 GB :(

Did not work.Download progress reset again and it says it discovered files. When i browse local files the files with my game at 95% are still there.

Hello I am here to confirm that this indeed works, I had to do it twice since I did it wrong the first time, I was 27GB, got me back to 21GB.

Heres a few clarifications:

-When he says copy the files in the 208650 folder he means that you have to copy/cut the CONTENT of the folder not the folder itself and dump it into your self created Batman AK folder in your steamapps

-After that just delete all the files that come up when you search 208650 on the Steam folder.

Try again and if it doesnt work I can provide pics

Okay, will give it another try before I pull my hair out.

Though, a quick question, do I delete the local content before I exit Steam?

mm not sure what you mean by local content but heres a quick recap of what I did:

-Exit steam before doing ANYTHING
-Go to steamapps/common and make a folder called "Batman Arkham Knight" it has to be exactly as you see it otherwise steam wont recongnize it
- Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\downloading\ and look for a file called "208650" should be around 37 Gigs
- Copy the CONTENT of the folder NOT the folder itself and deposit it in the Arkham Knight folder you mde earlier, it should looks like this : http://tinypic.com/r/2d0je2u/8
- Once you do that go the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam Folder and search for "208650"
- It should show you the reslut mentioned by OP, delete ALL of em
-Restart steam and press the install button
-If you did it correctly steam should give you a discovering files thing, and the allocate space
-You download will resume NEAR your progress

>_< Should've been a bit clearer about how to move the downloaded files over. Sorry peoples.

[๖ۣۜInvincible ๖ۣۜThor๖]

Still hasn't worked for me.

Also I meant delete the local content via the properties.

Didnt work again says discovering files and it just resets again.

[๖ۣۜInvincible ๖ۣۜThor๖]

This is a joke, why does Steam think it's a good idea to reset our downloads when a patch is released. It's insulting.

[Drl136]

It's likely a result of the way they store download data.

[๖ۣۜInvincible ๖ۣۜThor๖]

I don't suppose you or someone could make a step by step video of it, I don't mean redo the process, but just show me exactly what you did.

Didn't work for me either, I did it exactly as it said, it did the whole discovering exiting files and then *bam* starts from 0. But hey I have a 128 KB/s max download speed so it's only gonna take me 3-4 days, no big deal right? F*** Steam, f*** Rocksteady and f*** whoever ported this to PC. This has been my first and last preorder ever. If this fails one more time I'll refund it, it just ain't worth it.

EDIT: Sorry for the aggressiveness and language, I'm just angry at this.
