Downloading stopping after reaching 8% completed....need help.

May need to 'Delete Local Content", restart your computer, and try again.

Reporting the same problem too. I guess I'll see if the issue can fix itself tomorrow, but then I suppose I'll have to uninstall.

This seems to be a wider issue. I have at least three games (incl. Octodad) that load up to the last MB and then… nothing.

happened with another game. there may be some issues with steam servers. switching to another europe server did not fix the problem, but switching to a US one did.

Validating the game cache worked for me. All files validated, however seemed to download just fine after the validating was done.

edit:
For those that need instructions on how to do this:

1. Right click on the game in your *Library* -> *Properties*
2. Select the *Properties tab* -> click *Verify Integrity of Game Cache*
3. Wait.

Also. Be advised. Verifying the game cache should be among the first things you try if a game suddenly stops working. Among with restarting your computer and/or Steam.

Thanks for the info. This worked for me as well, didn't have to re-install anything.

Weird. I verified the game cache last night and it didn't fix this issue. But I just logged into Steam for the first time today and the download completed no problem.

Technology is odd.

for me it just said it couldnt install
EDIT: I got past after I installed slime rancher (I have no clue why)
