Witcher 2 Updating Problem

[beewood]

I'm at 15.5gb d/l'ed and it needs to update. Every time I try to update it, I get:

An error occurred while updating The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings Enhanced Edition (disk write error)

See the Steam support site for more information.

There is no more information. I don't see anyone else having the problem here. Any ideas? I ran Steam as admin, that didn't work. I don't want to have to download it all over again because i'm on ♥♥♥♥♥♥ DSL. Thanks for the help a head of time.

I had the problem, that the download stopped at 2,2 GB and it said, that an update is needed. I clicked on the button "Set on the top of download list" (?) and the download continued.
Maybe this helps you guys.

Well, It seems that for some people this happens because their drives are FAT32 and not NTFS (filesize warning on the store page), so if you're one of them, you need to reformat your drive.

I've read a few older posts, but besides this, I haven't found anything that might explain why the download doesn't continue after a while, especially if your drive's NTFS... someone get me a wizard who has the solution for this.

Ok, so here's a stupid fix on how to download this game:

Run steam as an administrator and start downloading the game. Whenever it stops, don't resume it, but send it to top of the download queue. Sometimes it will seem like it doesn't do anything, just stops the download immediatelly, but it actuallly gets a few megs. Keep sending it to the top of the queue and eventually it should keep going without any problems. Leave the downloads window open, and If it stops, just repeat the button pressing again until it continues.

Do note that I've also deleted all my progress from before, and started a fresh, you might wanna try like that. The download also always stopped whenever I moved away from the downloads page, either browsing steam or the web, playing a game, or even minimizing the window (honestly wtf).

Enjoy.

Is there another fix? Everytime got addition 0.1 GB after 15GB always stopped. Even when I got the window on the screen, and did nothing at all.

Seems like it was a good thing I got the game off GoG.

Sometimes you need to set a limit to steams download speed. For what ever reason sometimes it tries to use more then what there is and gets confused. At least that's my understanding of why some games I need to lower the speed for just to update.
