It's about 50c/ GB lately for a decent one, eg this crucial M550 512GB modelhttp://www.amazon.com/Crucial-2-5-Inch-adapter-Internal-CT512M550SSD1/dp/B00IRRDHVW Logged Bacchulum RestrictedRacing Hero Member Posts: 3403 Karma: 96 Re: Steam Expert Required « Reply #16 on: July 25, 2014, 08:07:50 PM » It would be nice Bird, but then I'd have to go through all that again.

All of that is on a 1TB WD Green HDD. My Windows install is just over 22GB and Program Files are a bit over 33GB, that's nearly 60GB for just windows and the main programs. « Last Edit: July 25, 2014, 08:46:58 PM by Davo » Logged Bacchulum RestrictedRacing Hero Member Posts: 3403 Karma: 96 Re: Steam Expert Required « Reply #18 on: November 05, 2014, 05:40:48 PM » Does anyone know how to reinstall a game in #@$% %$#^ Steam?I deleted everything AC and assumed it would give me the 'Install' option but no, just a play button (then it decides there's nothing there )Steam just has to make it hard.......

Then the "insall game" option may come back.

He seems to have done that already.Ha! I just had an idea; I reckon you can try this.First; copy all downloaded content (steamapps/common folder) to a safe location so you don't have to re-download it all. Make sure you delete the AC related things; (you can of course try and copy the steamapps part off as a backup to save the d/l again)- steamapps/common/asstto corsa- documents/assetto corsaThen uninstall steam, restart computer, reinstall steamThen copy the steamapps back. When you try to play a game it'll act as if it's downloading the game, but it'll go very fast - it basically checks the local files against the online ones, downloading anything that does not match.At this point you can either try it with the d/l'ed AC folder, or a virgin download.I'd also contact steam support in the meantime, they take notoriously long to pick up a case.

I had all notification stuff turned off previously as running high res triples the last thing you need is something else to take focus away from the game and make sure it staty out of window mode.I did notice a few odd beeps here and there with quite a bit of stuttering and then eventually in race 2 my fps turned to crap goig to about 10fps. I never normally drop a single frame with full AI or MP grids and really dont use steam much so better just to keep it in offline mode I think. Here is how the settings were tonight for notifications but I made sure to disable all this stuff a while back quite annoying that it decided to reset itself and help ruin my nite a bit.This is how I had it before the update and then no issues with the game losing focus.

Likewise, all my settings had changed, too. This is a reason (one of many) why I hate steam, it does shit you don't want it to without telling you it's doing it.
