Slime Rancher refuses to install
i keep getting "internet connection not avalable" even tho the connection is there and "content configuration unavailable" i tried every solution i found on internet for the content configuration problem and i even uninstalled and reinstalled steam... slime rancher just doesn't install... am i the only one who's currently have the problem or the devs of the game did something?

This is what worked for me, though note that I only had the issue on my Steam Deck. First open up the game properties, go to installed files, then browse. Go up until you are in the steamapps folder and see a bunch of appmanifest files, Delete or rename appmanifest_433340.acf and restart steam. Finally, redownload the game to the same drive/library location it was originally. Steam will recognize the existing files and start validating then download the update.

I'm having the same issue. It also cancels out any other Steam downloads but every other game will install like normal

idk about the "cancelling out steam downloads" part but pretty much looks like you're having the same issue

if i'm not alone it must mean the devs of slime rancher did something

Nope; we haven't touched anything. You'll want to contact Steam's support:
https://help.steampowered.com

Hey, did you figure out what to do or did it just solve itself with time?

I've been having the same issue for a week now since I'm finally installed the game after buying it on Steam ages ago "Slime Rancher refuses to install with errors "no internet connection" & Content Configuration Unavailable". I already deleted all the files in the xC:\Program Files (x86)\Steam folder except steam.exe and steamapps. Then I re-opened Steam and signed in again in my Steam accounts. I'm admin on my ethernet and wifi and my Win11 OS. I'm guesssing it's server side? I will contact support. I also changed download locations to 2 different cites and got the same errors.

What regions are folks seeing this in?

Also, is this direct purchase from Steam, or a different retailer?

I'm having the same issue and am seeing it in the UK(London) and France(Paris). All other games are installing fine:(

(I've also reported it to steam support. I tried all the normal tricks and they didnt help)

I tried to install Slime Rancher today on Steam (after having previously played on the Xbox and Xbox PC versions) and I encountered the same error. Sometimes it says "content configuration unavailable" and sometimes it is a no internet error. Other games are installing without issue, so the problem seems exclusive to the Slime Rancher install process. I am on Windows 11 Pro x64 and from Seattle area of the United States.

i'm on windows 10 in italy... at this point it might be slime rancher engine the problem idk
honestly I wouldn't have expected so many people with the same issue, and surely i didn't expect 2 comments from the devs...
