"Race07:AndyPriaulx...Raceway" download with 0 bytes/ trying to start results in error info/ SteamSupport and community tips do not help

[sebastianveith]

1. I have "Race07" as part of "GTR Evolution" plus "FormulaRaceRoomAddOn" installed and running correctly ("RaceOnDVDVersion", which includes "Race07", too, is actually installed as a offline version outside Steam).

2. I tried to download/install "FreeDLC" "AndyPriaulx..." quite a few times - first with a former notebook maybe two years ago.

This always resulted in a "finished" download with "0 of 0 bytes" ("AndyPriaulx..." is shown in the library as a separate game and NOT as a DLC of Race07 - just that the logo is misssing - , a desktop icon is created).

Though said to be "ready to start" this results just in the error info "actualization incorrect: file '... SteamInfoApp ...' missing.

3. SteamSupport gave me some advice, none of which did help. Their last idea was about the server (change download region) and emptying downmload cache. Deinstalling and another "0 of 0 byte"-download/installation did not help for a few times. Neither did the community "SOLUTION" with "steam://install/8650" - just resulted in a "download finished: 0 of 0 bytes", too. The track is not included in Race07 when starting Race07 later as one might hope (cause it is officially called a "DLC")!

4. It seems similar problems with this AddOn are quite common. Neither does HelpFAQ nor SteamSupport on an individual ticket ... nor the community "solutions" solve the problem - with the SteamSupport answers looking like quite uninterested standard text passages, not caring about the long description and numerous screenshots I gave them.

5. SimBin got bankrupt.Though the guys of SimBin started Sector3Studios/R3E, though I heard about a SimBin restart, there might not be much help from the developers.

6. I hope someone might have an answer as I WANT it to run - estimating it to be an interesting bonus track to a still quite realistic simulation.

Thanks!
