Rust seems to be stuck in an endless "Validating" loop, several hours for now. Steam client restart did not fix the issue.

This the part that keeps repeating in:

Hello @sorsasampo, what filesystem are you using at /prefix/SteamLibrary?

Ssorsasampo 2019-04-05 github

@kisak-valve ext4, mounted with noatime.

@kisak-valve if you need further information to debug the issue, now is the right time to ask, because I'll probably uninstall Rust soon to get rid of this issue.

I'm having the same issue, including the "update canceled" message regarding "Rust/Bundles/shared/assets.bundle". My Steam library is located on a separate EXT4 partition.

Ddubigrasu 2019-05-14 github

It does the same for me if I have the games installed on more than one Steam Library.
Specifically I have 3 Steam Libraries, on three different partitions; say A, B and C, with Rust installed on C.
When Rust tries to update, for whatever reason it downloads the necessary files on partition B and keep failing to move the downloaded files to C (where Rust resides).
I have two options to solve this:

  • Temporarily unmount the partition B before the update (or remove the respective Steam Library). In this case Steam is downloading the files on the same partition C next to Rust and the update succeeds.
  • Delete the game entirely and let it installed again from scratch.

As a side note: I have more than enough space on all partitions to complete the downloads, so is not about space.
Also this seems to happen only for big updates, workshop updates and similar are working fine.

Possibly fixed by this steam update?

Yep, this fixed it!

@kisak-valve: initially it seemed like I still had issues, but after pausing and resuming, Rust seems to have completed downloading now. Thanks! I'm closing this issue.
