DOWNLOADING ERROR

[✩]

ok so I've been trying to download Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5.
I've downloaded plenty of games on steam before with no problems, but now it's saying "unsupported file system" every time I try to download KH.
I've tried restarting my computer and clearing download cache on steam.
The place I'm trying to install it onto is my USB, which has plenty of GB
what can I do to fix this?

is this because APPARENTLY my USB uses a FAT32 file system? The only way to be able to play now is if I get a USB with an NFTS system?? I know if I change my file system from FAT32 to NFTS, it'll erase all the data on my USB, so that's not an option.

Do I just have to get a new USB? This is all kind of confusing to me because I only very recently got into PC gaming and idk much about computers and this stuff in general..

If I'm not able to download it, man ... I spent $40 on this 😭 PLS HELP

FAT32 has a file size limit of 4GB and a certain filename length limit.
If the file system is unsupported for the game, it means that the game uses files that are bigger than 4GB.

Steam, so far I know supports exFAT and NTFS file systems, as well as ext4 (on linux). It may support others as well.

You need a storage device formatted with a file system that supports file sizes that are larger than 4GB.

I do not recommend using a USB device unless you change the settings on your computer to keep the USB device powered at all times. Windows will otherwise shut down the power connection when it thinks its not actively used enough). See power settings and 'device manager'.

You might be able to create a separate partition on the USB device using the free disk space. That partition can be formatted to another file system (exFAT or NTFS).

Thank you! I might try the partition thing.
