Steam Only For A Couple Seconds Free To Ask

The good news is we have Steam Play, which means that when you purchased your game on Steam you get a copy of this game on each OS that game supports.

You will still be able to play these games on macOS 10.14 Mojave and earlier, Windows and in many cases Linux as well.

This will allow you to flip over to macOS 10.14 on restart of your computer where you can continue to play all of your 32-bit Mac games.

All trademarks are property of their respective owners in the US and other countries.

If the game was already downloaded, it would not be in queue.

The download will start normally when i open Steam then a few seconds later it will stop.

On the download tab there will be a note besides the game (Scheduled for h:mm AMPM) at that time the game will download again for a few seconds then stop, there will be a new scheduled for xxx) message, it will go on like this till the game is fully updated or fully downloaded.

No matter how many time i restart Steam, no matter if i click on the download now button it will just keep doing that.

Its to a point where updating a 500Mb update can take an hour to download, since steam will download 50mb then rest for 5mins.

Im downloading a 13GB game right now, ill let you guess how long this would take with this issue.) It started since summer sale i believe, when steam as the brilliant idea (sic) to put a clicker game on its front page.

Since most people were experiencing problem at that time i didnt really bother, but now.

Also one thing, the steam icon on my task bar, when its downloading this way its yellow instead of the standart green.

I hope you can understand my problem, feel free to ask some questions if you need more details.

I once had real crappy internet and I had to do a factory reset on my computer because it was nearly broken so when I downloaded games, theyd pause and get rescheduled.

My internet isnt the best, but its 10M, I used to download games between 700kbs to 1Ms.

But since you said it might be my internet I checked my download settings on the Steam library to verify my download region.

It was set to Beijing (1400Kms away), so I changed it to Shanghai (230kms away) and restarted Steam.

It started downloading normally at 1024kbps, i had hopes, but it just stopped again:( Originally posted by wuddih: is the message displayed busy writing to disk Where is this supposed to be displayed I dont have it, it seems.

I have done virtually everything there is to try and remedy the problem.

Cuz there was one fix which required some prompts but it worked for Win 8 users.

I added steam to exception list on my anti virus software, I have limited my speed to 10 MBS.

Kind of stupid to do since I can download games from other clients as much as 21 MBS (OriginBattlenet).

But I limited it.

It still stops. I changed regions, uninstalled and reinstalled, upgraded my hdd from 5400 rpm one to new 7200 rpm hdds.

Its been very frustrating as I have asked for help from anyone in the steam community but to no avail.

Seems like it doesnt bother anyone else so they dont offer any kind of tips or help (with the exception of a few).

The only way I can download the games is to hit the arrow to download now, forcing the game to dl.

The problem still comes out sometimes but its not as bad as before since when its downloading instead of a speed of 750kbps its downloading at a speed of 89Mbps.

Someday ill have this problem, someday it will just download flawlessly.
