GTA 5 Will Not Download

[[PGN] B. Ironfoot]

For some reason, GTA 5 will not download. It completes the download, then the STEAM Icon goes yellow, saying paused. I click resume then it bugs out and stays paused. I think it's installed, but it says "MIssing Game Files". Can someone help me?

Do you use an antivirus or any security program on your OS?

There's a few things that can cause this behaviour.

First off, if it bugs then goes that files are missing, then it's likely that your antivirus is quarantining some game files. Go to the antivirus suite and make an exception for them.

It may however, also be a disk space issue. If you are using more than 90% of your drive, wonky stuff like this will happen.

I have 111 gig, then after GTA 5 installs, you can do that math I am to dumb to know LOL

Yes, but as I stated, what is the original hard drive space because you need to allow BOTH these things:
NO more than 90^ of the drive used.
and
THREE times the total file size.

If you have a mere 111GB left on your drive then I can be fairly certain that isn't enough, because three times the total file size of GTA is probably larger than that.

You don't need to do the maths - every PC has a calculator.

No I have a 111 gigabyte drive. Thats how much space is on on the freaking driove because thats as much space as I get.
111 - 97.37.
My spare drive is what this is being installed on.

+ it has downloaded before, but steam magically removed it without telling me why.

You may be misunderstanding this.

As I said, if that's ALL your drive space, then I've never heard of a 111 GB drive. I don't know what that is.

YOU WILL have to be within that 90%, and the file youre trying to download havs to be at least THREE TIMES the total size.

Now if you're downloading GTA5, I wouldn't be at all suprised if that's your problem, becuase threee times the total file size will maybe be more than 111GB.

So make sure of this. Because if it si, that's why Steam is opting to choose another drive to download on.


And if this is the case, what you can do, is let it download to that drive it has chosen. THen when it's finished, unpacked and everything, choose options under downloads in steam to move the file where you want it.

for the last time, IT HAS DOWNLOADED BEFORE. Your starting arguments for no reason. Please get out of here, unless you can ACTUALLY help. + It IS downloaded, just not updating. Ever heard of a 2002 Secptre? No? Right.
This post is useless cause this always happens




Edit: Shut up

No, please calm down. I'm not starting arguments. I'm trying to make things clear as it wasn't from what you claimed.

I can't offer further advice until I get things straight.

BUt as you're being rude unnecessarily, I'll leave you to it.
