Assetto Corsa not enough disk space

[Pops64]

I just bought Assetto Corsa but I can't install it. When I try ti dl/install it a small window pops up telling me "not enough disk space".
I have over 900G disk space. Steam i installed on E and that's where I have lots of space. Just installed Project Cars, on Steam, no problem.

Any suggestions what to do to solve this problem.

you need a good chunk of free disk-space on whatever drive your global windows temporary-files folder is located.
Usually that is inside "C:\" or whatever drive-letter the partition is named with that your operating system lives on.

Windows-Gurus would know how to move or re-direct the temp-folder pointer to a different drive or location. Sadly I am not one of those people. Easiest way out: move some unneeded files off your system-drive. If that is not possible, I suggest you research the option to fiddle with the temp-folder or it's pointer respectively.
Sooner or later you would have faced this kind of error message anyway. I'd call it coincidence that it happened while you were trying to install A.C.

It's a Steam glitch or a system problem with a few possible solutions.

First is as above, make sure your OS drive has plenty of room for files to be dumped in the system temp folder.

Try simply running Steam as administrator.

Could be an anti virus problem.

If none of the above gets you sorted, go to the steamapps folder where the game is downloading. Go to common. Delete the file Assetto Corsa....if you have it. It will be 0bytes in size.

i also am having a problem mine is saying "disk error prbblem", i just updated raceroom which had a larger file with no problem. i know less than nothing about any of this stuff , i learned to fix cars and need help . thank you for any possible help

[Pops64]

Thank you for trying to help me but nothing seems to actually help.
The Temp file is big enough, running Steam as admin didn't help, I shut off my anti virus program, and finally I went to the Common file in Steamapps and there was no Assetto Corsa file to delete.

In the same place, before entering Common, there is a Downloading folder. I think Steam first puts there the files before installing in the game folder. You could delete that Downloading folder, restart pc, then check on steam library - downloads to update the game.

[Pops64]

I'll try that.

[Pops64]

Didn't work. :( Thx anyway. This is quite frustrating really. I wish Steam could do something about it.

If you have a steam shortcut on your desktop, close steam and right click on the shortcut - run as administrator. Then try to install the game. Or if no shortcut, close steam, go to the Steam folder, scroll down, and right click on the Steam file to run as admin.

Sometiems Steam isn't allowed in the Firewall, so you could check there to give it permission.

Double check that AC is trying to install on your E drive and not on C.

Google steam not enough disk space, or google steam installed on another drive not enough disk space

[Pops64]

I've tried all you said - not working. Thx anyway for trying to help.
I mailed Steam about it, and they said it's their installation script that's causing problems, not Assetto Corsa. Nice to know but I still can't play the game.
Please Steam, fix it.

Check your steam library folders under the downloads menu in settings. Check that there is only your E: install location listed, its possible AC is looking at another install location.

[Pops64]

Mr Crisp, OK, I checked that, and I have only one install location there.
I installed Project Cars the other day, and it went just fine. No problems at all.
This is so weird.

Same error here, I'm trying by deleting the files at the downloads folder and making it redownload the update again, will report back in a few minutes


EDIT: It didn't work

[Pops64]

It's pretty tough deleting the downloading folder.

Are you guys first time installers?

Anyway, try browsing to the logs folder in your Steam (not the game) install and open the content_log. Find the disk write error in there and see what is mentioned.
