Wont finish the installation.

[JeepJZ]

Basically gets the the very end of a 16.5GB game and says there is a Disk write error. Meanwhile I continue to use the hard drive to download other games/play and enjoy life. As of now I have purchased this game and cant get it to finish install. Download Paused, Disk write error. Any help?

Log out of Steam and restart it and try again.

Done attempted already. at a 50GB a month download limit threw Cable one, I only download 2 times. Already tried Steams help guide also. Including all my regular knowledge. I jock it up to a Steam bug at this time.

Bump, still looking for advice. I have done all the simple basic things, I refuse to move/reinstall all of Steam/ my games. Other games have installed and played perfectly on the HD that supposedly has a Disk write error. I did the steam steps on their help section to clean/clear or search errors. As suspected everything is perfect and this game simply wont download. Anyone think I could hunt down a temporary installed file and delete to make this work? I cant find it and have said remove from local drive already to recieve same error. at 16.5GB I cant afford to do this too many times per month. Cable one only gives 50GB/month.

You use Bitdefender Antivirus? It might give you such a message if it keeps deleting/Quarantine files. I also thought I had error on the HDD's some time back, but it was Bitdefender ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up. It does that to alot of steam games.

I have already allowed all Steam files and associated folders passage for my AVG, it is an option I will continue to diagnose. Thank you for a lead and I will reply back if it does not fix it.

Still unable to get this specific game downloaded. Have added 4-5 games to the HD since. Any help would be appreciated. Also update, minimum Cable one package is 100 speed, at a 300GB/month limit. They did raise the price $5 more a month tho lol.

Also having this issue. :/

The problem fixed itself with the latest steam update for me

I've had similar issues with other Steam games in the past, mostly caused by lack of HDD free space. Have found that I've needed twice the amount of free space than what the game requires to install (probably space for the install files, until it is installed & space for the game itself).

Of course if you have plenty of free space then you should be ok.

Also, sometimes changing the download region & getting the files from a different server can fix it.

If your out of space, Steam will tell you so.

I'm on latest steam and have >200gb free on the installation drive. Still not able to install after cleaning local files and re-downloading.

I have thought about this one. Im glad you brought it up because I dont have a TON of space left on this HD. The other games I have downloaded even tho this one wont are much smaller. I believe also that the game requires much more space to be available on the HD then the game really needs, who knows why but I do believe. I also havent tried since updates. Going to give it a shot today.

An update, I have tried again since the Patch. Again the game Disk/write Errors. Other games get installed and play without problem, Steam steps only further prove my drive is more then fine. 83.9GB of free space on the HD, 16.5GB required for the game.

Fixed the issue for myself. I was originally installing the game on my secondary drive but now with my last attempt I tried my primary C drive and it's worked fine.

Has anyone tried and succeded on their secondary drive? Its true there are some games that are stupid and have to be placed on the operating systems HD. Can anyone confirm they have installed and played this game on their seconday?
