Clearing Download cache option doesn’t clear preload process ?

[The High Seraph]

I am preloading “Tales of Arise” now , my internet sucks and causing preload download bar to completely stop and pause itself like 4 times .

I don’t like the situation and want to preload from completely new when my connection is stable again .

So I tried clearing download cache , restart the steam and ya .. Preload process is still there and still downloading .

- Is that normal ?

- One more question is that can I get corrupted data because download process stopped like 4 times due to bad connection ?
Now it’s still downloading and 60% complete . Should I start a new or just let it finish ?

clear DL cache has nothing to do with install if work as intended.
its a way to delete local cache if it get buggy and dont match server cache.
and thats why we clear it to be sure its match whatever Game devs has fix or newest content.

and thats why use check intergrity of files is alot better for you, it fix broken or missing content.

and why 1 time clear cache and then validate files is best option for you.

pre-allocation has nothing to do with install, that pure reserve of disk space so room is made and can install there.

please read all 2 times its tech stuff, dont forget this is learned over many years in how steam works

so all that fresh install is same as validate game intergrity of files.

ps.
do note previous mods can still effect current install , thats the only exception, and many forget that little part sometimes.

ps.
so no matter how bad your isp line is into isp , you check files and dont have to reinstall it from scrates.

and
yes let it Finish, whats the point if this keep start over then you have issue or into isp and steam.

Hi thank you so much for detail answer . and yes I finished downloading this preload . However after downloading I have weird problem. The steam icon in "task bar" have yellowish color and it won't go away unless I restart the steam . After restarting , the icon turn back to normal but after playing one game and cloud saving , steam icon color changed to green and it wont go away unless I restart again . Sorry for offtopic but do you know the reason behind this ?

Yes I also asked in Tales of Arise Sub forum and it’s smth to do with pending updates . Since game is not released and I just download a preload .. ppl said that it will stay like this until game is officially released . Ty again for confirmation .

and ty for confirm , game not released yet , even that make better sense.
and also make sense why all other dont see it untill they got a new game that has that issue.
