Do u have enough space to download it?

[nlnlOeO]

Yes, I still have 709GB to download it.

Having win 10 is known to have issues with old gen games. Try si ng this Make sure your harddisk has enough free space and that it's not formatted with FAT32 but NTFS.

Deactivate any anti-virus software during installation (go off-line before if you feel unsafe).
You could also try installing the game without the downloader, by downloading the files directly from your game shelf. Save them all in the same location and run the executable setup file.

DISK WRITE ERROR every 10 sec when trying to download Witcher2. I can download any other game without problems except Witcher2

I have done almost every steps except redownload Steam, but none of them can solve this problem.

check antivirus log? might be blocking steam/game.

some steam logs in ...\steam\logs. see if anything in the newest logs

change download servers? maybe the one you are connected to has a problem.

antivirus - never used,
download region - changed from belgium to native default city,
clearing download cache and folder - done.
solved for me, downloading works fine now.

I don't think so, I can download every games only except the witcher2, and my Windows Defender can't find the witcher2 's files, which means it can't blog it either right??

steam is doing the downloading/installing. if blocked by firewall, you will have problems.

my install is about 25gb so you are partway there. try changing download region.

if that dont work, try clearing the download cache. then go to folder
...\steam\steamapps\downloading. folder should be empty. once in a while, a file/folder does not get removed. delete manually. restart steam/download.

I don't know why I haven't clear the download cache that the folder has already empty,even though I have downloaded 15.8GB.
By the way, I had delete it and download it again at once, but it still can't work....

if you downloaded and installed other steam games then your steam/windows/antivirus permissions should all be okay. the download folder is empty so no corrupt folder/files causing problems.

did you change steam download region?
did you check logs in ...\steam\logs?
maybe even check windows event viewer - maybe windows is having a problem.
