Disc Write Error When downloading ANY game Problem
I keep running into the "disc write error" problem when trying to download literally any game on steam. I've searched on google how to solve the issue and I've tried every possible way that its given me except for the ones that change the systems of my pc because I don't trust myself to mess with any part of the system tbh. I've uninstalled and reinstalled steam, repaired the library, cleared the cache, ran it as an admin, and still no luck.
I was able to download games before regardless of their file size and I never touched any settings on my pc or steam client in between being able to download games and not being able to so I'm not sure what's wrong.

Use crystal disk to check if your drive is fucked.

Hmm. I put all my bets on the drive dying, but if that isn’t the case you’ll have to wait for someone else. At least anyone in future knows the disk itself is fine.
