Corrupt Disk after every update

[Buddha Fett]

Ever since they added the walking factories and flying bugs my game will not update unless I reinstall. Steam says corrupt disk. I tried moving to a separate drive (Switched between my internal SSDs), validating, completely deleting and reinstalling all files. Clearing download cache, checking the health of my hard drive on command prompt. Its only Helldivers 2 I have this issue with. Every other game installed on the 3 ssds run fine and update fine. Its only Helldivers 2 that does this. Im at my wits end with fixes

Bump.
Trying every fix possible, anyone else deal with this problem?

All Other games that have frequent updates like Lords of the Fallen, Path of Exile, Last Epoch and bunch of other small ones update without any problem.

SSD I'm using is Western digital 1tb with serial number WDC100T2BOC.

The only way to have the game to update is through complete reinstall.

I tried to repair via Steam"Repair Folder" feature.

Tried Verifying Game integrity.

Tried to delete game, Remove Library, restart PC and then recreate it again on same disk and redownload game

Tried CHKDSK and WD dashboard SMART diagnostics to see if there were any disk errors and none are showing up.

Wrong order.

The easiest way for you to avoid that issue is to explicitely RESTART your PC BEFORE downloading the update.

1. Set updates to non-automatic/triggered manually for the game

2. Whenever you see an update ready, RESTART your PC

3. Then download the update and THEN

4. Repair Steam Library Folder

5. Verifiy integrity of Steam Files

What you describe is not a disk issue, but a typical Windows issue, based commonly on bad power settings in combination of a multilayered app. Therefore best to check if you have ReadyBoost/FastBoost activated and deactivate it for the fuutre. But if you follow the steps in order, it should be sufficient to cure your issue reliably with the game.

Helldivers 2 is not the only game which has this kind of issue. As mentioned before: multilayered ones which e.g. come with launchers are prone to it.
