Taking advantage of the fact that we are in the “Downloads” section, as shown in the previous screenshot, we can review other options that may be interfering with the download of our games. The problems that it could generate will be solved. Simply by clicking on that button we can erase the entire cache and start from scratch. Within the Steam parameters, in the section « downloads»We can find this option. If we have stopped an installation or a download, the cache may have been frozen.

This cache should be cleared automatically when the installation of any game is complete, but it may not be the case. Over time, Steam keeps a cache of downloads with all kinds of temporary files. This also helps us to verify that we were not in disconnected mode by mistake, since if this option was checked, the games and downloads do not work. In that case, we can test go offline a couple of minutes, and then return to normal mode, to see if everything works correctly again. And that is why the downloads may not be working properly. There may be a specific problem with our account at this time.

You can also download the latest version of the client from here. And if we want, we can install the beta of the program to always be one step ahead and have fewer (or more) problems. When a new version is downloaded, closing and reopening the program will install it automatically. In case this is so, we can start with install the new version of the client so that possible problems that we have can be solved.īy default, Steam searches for and downloads new versions of the client automatically. The problems we are experiencing may be due to using an outdated version of this program. Therefore, we recommend reviewing all of this before anything else, and even waiting at least a day, before continuing with the next tests. It can even happen that the servers are down, or it is a specific error. Or because something, like a firewall, is preventing the Steam client from connecting to the internet. Is it really Steam’s problem? Many times we can find that the games do not download because our Internet does not work.
