Hello,

I have a problem with Steam. Everytime I start Steam some Games download 0 bytes sized updates.
What I tried:
-Reinstalling Steam
-Reinstalling the Games
-Clearing the download cache
-changing the download region (/server)
-updating Steam client
-upgrading to the beta version of steam

I am using Kubuntu 18.04 (64Bit)

Hello @Liemaeu, this is most likely the same issue as #5644. Closing as a duplicate.

Hello @kisak-valve
No, the linked issue is only about Proton games, but I have the problem with native games too.

@Liemaeu You should say which games.

  • Batman Arkham Origins

  • Dishonored
  • Doom3 + Resurrection of Evil

There are others that I don't have installed at the moment, but I could have just listed every single Windows game I have as they've all had the 0byte update when installed, that's 700+ Windows games.

The amount of 0 byte updates seems to be slowly growing. It's been only one game in the beginning and now it's 4.
All native games, no Proton games since the fix

Hello, is anyone still experiencing this issue on an up to date system?

ZZamundaaa 2021-02-26 github

I haven't seen it happen in a long time

LLiemaeu 2021-03-01 github

I still get 0 bytes updates for some games (e.g. Heavy Rain) every day.

Maybe a shader pre-caching bug?

I just saw this on two games, Void Bastards & Prey (2016).

Nothing extracted yet.
