Trouble Downloading and Updating Games
Since last night, I have been having major trouble downloading and updating games. At first, I thought it was just a server issue, but as it persists, I am beginning to believe it's something worse.

One game, Squad 44, refuses to download at all, constantly giving me one of these error messages:
  • Content Configuration Unavailable
  • No Internet Connection
  • Content Servers Unreachable

However, the first two are the most common, although my internet connection is as healthy as it can be. I have been able to download other games, although I have to tell it to retry multiple times. However, some have started downloading without any problems.

I have searched for solutions online and have attempted all the fixes others have tried, but none of them have worked. This includes

  • Clearing the Cache
  • Deleting everything in the Steam folder except for the application and Steamapps folder.
  • Changing Server Locations
  • Changing to the Beta Branch of Steam
  • Computer Restart

I don't want to believe this is a problem with my anti-virus software as it has not been giving me any trouble with Steam and similar applications, and I don't see why it would start now. I even have Steam excluded.

Same thing happened to me when I tried to download Squad 44 earlier today. I tried the same solutions as you listed, but nothing has worked so far.

Ok, I think the issue is only with Squad 44, every other game seems to be downloading normally on my end.

Yeah, I've noticed that every other game does just fine when I am not trying to download/install Squad 44. Also, there's a thread for Squad 44 with people saying they're having the same problem, and someone said that OWI is aware of it and that it is a Steam problem.

I am facing this issue with another game, Divinity Original Sin: Enhanced Edition.

It may happen with games installed previously. That game was installed til yesterday. I tried to reinstall today and giving this issue.

Meanwhile downloading another game that has not been installed on this machine works as expected.

No solution either so far.

I have the same problem I can't download squad 44

The issue is based on our steam because there was even issues with downloading content such as addons for gmod, updating and downloading.

This issue is happening on my GF's account with a game called Armello. Done every single step I could find on the internet, snd every other game downloads except for Armello. Weirdly enough, if I try to download Armello and then switch to downloading something else after, the other game won't download either and will give a weird error until I spam the button and then it'll start.

I'm having trouble downloading Divinity OS EE too.

Other games download OK, but not this one. I'm getting the same random error messages ("content servers unreachable", "content configuration unavailable", or just "no internet connection").

I had a similar problem where I couldn't download other games either, until I uninstalled what little bit of Divinity OS EE was installed and changed my download region to a different one.

I'm having the same problem, except for the games 'Analogue: A Hate Story' and 'Hate Plus'. Likewise, I've tried all the steps above and nothing has fixed this so far, including reinstalling steam. All other games in my library seem to download with no issues.
