Steam Issue

Hey all.

 

I've got a bit of a problem. On Steam, I am trying to update BeamNG.drive, however when I try to update it says 'Paused' and then 'Disk Write Error.' Anybody know what's going on or what I can do to fix it? I don't think it's anything bad.

Are you sure there is enough space to update?

Can you do a crystaldiskmark SMART test on your drive and post results?

This is what steam support suggests, I guess it wouldn't hurt to try: 

The first step is to verify that your hard drive is in good health and that all bad sectors have been marked as such by the drive.

To do so on Windows:

Click Start > (My) Computer

Locate the hard drive Steam is installed on. By default, this is C:

Right-click this drive and select Properties.

Click the Tools tab.

In the Error-checking category, click Check now...

In the dialog that appears, check "Automatically fix file system errors" and "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors."

Click Start.

If you are scanning the C: drive, you will be asked to schedule the disk check the next time you start Windows. Accept, restart your computer, and allow the disk check to start—do not press any keys to skip the disk check.

Allow the disk check to complete. This process may take up to several hours, depending on the size of your hard drive and the number of errors.

To do so on OS X:

1. Open Disk Utility.
2. Select your hard drive.
3. Click First Aid and follow the prompts.

Way more than enough.
