Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When downloading FEAR 2
Steam tries moving 2 files from the "game" folder instead of the "Game" folder, which causes steam to report Disk Write Error

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Try downloading FEAR 2
  2. Disk Write Error

Temp Fix

This can be worked around by creating dummy files (adjust to steam library path)

mkdir -p "~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/downloading/16450/game"
touch "~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/downloading/16450/game/gameclient.dll"
touch "~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/downloading/16450/game/clientfx.fxd"
