This time, the Steam allocating disk space stuck should be fixed. Re-launch the Steam client and finish your game download/install. Then choose a different server to download from.
#Steam download preallocating Patch#
I don't understand why this hasn't been an issue before when i first moved the game, but it keeps screwing up lately with every patch of the game. Switch to the Downloads tab and click the drop-down menu under the Download Region. What does it mean when the Steam Downloads screen says Preallocating Best Answer. So i have to delete and redownload over and over with every new update, which isn't as simple with a slow connection. Steam What does it mean when a Steam download says Preallocating. I deleted and reinstalled the game but whenever a new patch comes up, it tries to retrieve the new data on the old Downloads folder in the FAT32 drive even though the game is NOT installed on that drive. In the Steam window, click the Steam button again and click Exit to quit Steam completely. The game used to be on that FAT32 drive but i moved it to an NTFS ages ago when that problem occured. Navigate to the Downloads tab and check the bottom of the screen for the Clear Download Cache Click it before clicking OK. For a specific game (Dead by Daylight) Steam keeps trying to download the new data on the Downloads folder in a wrong drive which is FAT32 so it keeps getting stuck at unsupported file system. The first stage involving pre-allocation and validation runs at -max-downloads parallelism.
We now report when this is happening, as the program would previously be working on this process but not report any progress. Since my HDD is busted and the SSD doesn't have a huge storage, i tend to run my games from external HDDs. The application has always pre-allocated new files.
