Download stuck at 100% for icarus Beta

[Hedwin]

Hi, I'm playing Icarus beta and my download is stuck at 100% everytime a new update is downloaded. I tried everything I found on internet about download stuck (restart steam/pc/clear download cache) but none worked. On the download it's write "Reorganizing". I've never had this problem with another game before so maybe it's more an Icarus problem than a steam one? Any idea ?

Commonly if you're getting issues like this, the first port of call is what you've tried already - clear the download cache, so if that isn't working there is something else.

Many people make the mistake of not quite realising how Steam works as it's a bit different to other services.

First off, you should NEVER run your install drive over 90% usage. Also games are downloaded both encrypted and compressed, so when you download something, you should allow up to THREE times the total file size so it can do it's work.

For example, if you have a 1TB drive and you've used 850GB then you're cool as you've used only 85% of it, and you have 50GB left to play with. However, if you then want to download a 50GB game, you likely won't have enough space as that would need up to 150GB and would take you right to the limit.

The common symptoms when you fall foul of these is STeam starts behaving weirdly. It will randomly stop downloads, or start downloading them on other drives, or sundry other weirdness.

if you click the status bar where it says 100%, steam will then show you the patch status, which is not the same as the download. I had the same issue and I guess it's because other games dl and patch so fast that we're just not used to waiting. for whatever reason, patching takes a while for this game
