Steam downloading messing up

[Atsza]

Hello!

I have been playing Path fo Exile for many years and I can not upgrade to the latest version. I have a 16.3MB update, I download it and steam starts installing it.

What happens is that it says "installing" for a couple of minutes and restarts the download from 0.

I know the problem is from disk space but I can not upgrade my hard drives or my ssd atm.

My ssd is 256gb ADATA SP920 where Path of Exile is installed. Previously I would just cut all of my other games from that drive to another one but now PoE is the only game on that drive.

I have 39.1GB free on that drive at the moment which is completely fine and isn't resulting in any performance issuses.

Any way to remove space requirements or fool steam into installing the game?

Previous update a few months ago where I fixed it by moving games: 

 

 

Thank you

OK, so you have a 16mb update that won't fit in a 39GB space?  I don't think space is the problem.  Maybe try reinstalling the game since you should have enough space to fit the entire install in the space you have.  Either that or buy another drive.  A 1TB HDD is like $40 these days.

Space is the problem. Last update I had about the same free space. I emptied the drive to about 60GB and then it installed on the first try.

Today I don't know what to copy to another drive because I have that game, windows and program files on the ssd.
