RedRockRun Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I'm trying to access the CE through Steam by choosing it in the Betas tab. When it tries to update, I get a "Disk write error" message. It's not something I've encountered before; has anyone else seen this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llunak Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Try deleting the whole game (not from Steam) and verifying local files from Steam, which will re-download it. You can try deleting only assets/mods/ first, maybe that'll be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRockRun Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 I had deleted it from Steam and am now trying to install it again; only now when I first try to install it, I'm told I don't have enough free disk space (99+GB are free). The second time I try to install, it allows me, but near the end of installation, I'm given the disk write error again. So far I haven't encountered this with any other games on my Steam library.

It could be a critical disc error at your computer. You can make a hdd checkup to see that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milskin Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) I've got exactly the same problem, and I believe it to be related to Xenonauts specifically. How I got myself in this state? I had the CE beta version installed, then opted to go back to vanilla. It updated something like 86 MB if I remember correctly. I then decided to go back to CE, and it would not update. I tried uninstalling completely, and now Steam thinks I don't have the disk space. I have two drives, both with at least 100 GB spare, and Xenonauts will not install on either. I tried installed another large game as a test (Dragon Age: Origins at at least 5 times the install size), and it was fine. I have also run disk check and defrag on both drives with no errors. I also noticed that the CE beta branch is 5800 MB versus 2800 vanilla - is this expected? Edited October 5, 2015 by Milskin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
