Space required display bug

[Sir KillkingDS]

Hey Folks

First of all sorry for my english ;P

I have a strange bug in my Steam Library. When I click on a not installed game, where normally the "time played" shows up it says "space required". On my SSD is about 800 GB free space so that's definitly not the problem. Also installing games is just fine, no error message whatsoever.

It's just a display bug but I cant's see how many hours I've played my games anymore and that's annoying.
Does somebody know how to fix this?
Thanks

That's how it looks for me.
Are you running stable or beta branch of the Steam client?

[Sir KillkingDS]

Yes, that's it. I remembered it wrong, I CAN see my time played, it's at the right side of the bug message

I'm using the normal steam client, did a complete reinstall and started it, nothing else.

That is not a bug.

Library

• Game details screen will now show disk space required for games that are not installed

Nothing to fix, OP, that's a feature that got introduced in a patch not too long ago. Not installed games list the space required should you want to install it.

[Sir KillkingDS]

Oh ok, but why does it always say "Space required" and doesnt show how many it needs even there should be enough? Like Bioshock needs 5 GB and I have 800, so...

[Cathulhu]

It says how much free space is needed for the game, not how much you have to free on your disk to be able to download it.

That is the requirements for the "game" itself. Instead of checking the store page system requirements.

It says "Space required" because the listed amount it the space required to install the game. Space required and space needed are the same thing.

[Sir KillkingDS]

Oh I see the problem!
It's a translation error. I'm using the german version of steam and there it says "mehr Speicherplatz erforderlich" (more space required) which implies that I don't have enough. Also it's freaking long, like wtf. The original is pleasantly short

Thanks guys for your responses. I'm closing this discussion now
Cheers

Can anyone else confirm this?

[Cathulhu]

I can not confirm that using the Beta branch client of Steam:

Erforderlicher Speicherplatz is a proper translation of space required. The word "mehr"/more does not appear.
