Results for "disk write error" :: Steam Community

If I had a wish for christmas from GabeN or Valve in general, it would be actually meaningful error messages from steam.

If I had two wishes, I would like a community tool to share configs to make games work that require tweaking.

But I’d be very happy if I got better error messages.

    If I can look up what the error was with the disk access, in a log, then steam can do that too. It can parse that, and present it to me. That’s what I expect.

    And if that fails, it can at least point me to the correct log.

    I can not stress enough that the client tells me nothing:

    • it doesn’t tell me that there are logs
    • it doesn’t link documentation on how to read them.
    • it doesn’t tell me where I can look for it.

    The only approach I have to solve is, is to use a search engine for “steam disk write error”. That’s it.

      Too much risk, I worked with win32 and it was wrong about the reason for failing a lot in the case of drives. If windows can’t diagnose and handle drive failure properly, I don’t think Steam will have a more reliable answer. Again, I’m assuming a vague error is better for them than a verbose error in this case.
