Download stuck at 2%?
Yo anyone by any chance know a way to fix the update? It's finished patching but now its "installing" and its stuck on 2%... I've tried doing a few methods suggested on the steam forums such as deleting the steam download cache but none seem to work but it does say that my SS is putting in work so im unsure as if its installing but the % isn't changing or if its actually just stuck

It's a known issue. The game is installing it just doesn't show progress pass 2% for some reason. Just let it sit and it will work.

I left it there, it's been like 2hours and it's till not moved by 2%. and no disk is being used. it's all at 0%. don't delude yourself it's not gonna move from 2% ever. only choice is to uninstall and reinstall.

Did you try and delete your download cache?

Just open steam, in the top corner click "steam"-Settings- download and there's a button that says clear download cache

Alot of people claim thats helped them a ton (didn't for me) so i'd give that a shot

When you say the SSD is putting in work, did you look at Task Manager to verify? If Task Manager shows the SSD is busy Windows might be scanning the content before writing to the drive.

You can help avoid this by running Steam in Admin mode or turning off your firewall and antivirus when updating games.

(I just run Steam in Admin and tell my protective programs to ignore Steam and the directories it uses)

It's because you're downloading the entire game again :DSTskull:
