Yükleniyor means installing , onaylanıyor means verifying.

This update loop deletes files of the games , only way to play these games is ; nuke them from Steam and reinstall them again. Until a new update arrives and put your game into that loop again.

Steam output:

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. A Turkish Steam client installation
  2. An UE4 game that just got an update
  3. Watch this loop after downloading update process ends

Hello @Leopard1907, what filesystem is the game installing to? Do you have multiple libraries and if you do, what filesystems are the others on?

LLeopard1907 2018-10-28 github

@kisak-valve Hi , filesystem is ext4.

I have two libraries , one is on a 128 gb ssd which is also used by system. Only Rise of The Tomb Raider installed there.

Other library ( which i'm downloading all other games in there ) is on a 1 TB HDD , which that is also ext4.

Also have a 8 gb swap partition. Which is on that 128 gb ssd.

Output of lsblk:

`NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT

Hello @Leopard1907, are you still experiencing this issue on an up to date system?

LLeopard1907 2021-03-20 github

Sadly none of the native UE4 games i have and noted when i opened this issue doesn't receive updates anymore , as in that issue was reproducible when already installed games got an update later on.

So i can't reproduce that anymore. Issue can be closed.
