(and don't worry that is fine to do, I have a 14TB rotary drive with my complete library) There are a few things to check: I'll have to devise an experiment to check the theory, so that is a clue. I have a 1tb SSD and about 8TB of rotating rust that doubles as storage, but by default, games install to the 8TB of spinning stuff. Originally posted by zaphodikus:The sleep mode might be a clue. (it displays steam fine, but when I click things the lag is terrible, or it doesn't work) I've found closing and reopening helps. Question for you: does any of this happen after your device sleeps? I get a weird glitch like that once in a while on my laptop if I leave steam open but the device sleeps. Is it an SSD or Rotary? Full greater then 80% or no? Suggestion 2, something is hinky with your hard drive. Suggestion what AV are you using and can you add an exception for steam? (I've had hangs like this because a virus scanner was prechecking the install file)
I've two suggestions for you to look at and one question. I can't speak to the others but your comment contained enough info to possibly be troubleshootable.
Not started to look into causes, since it's rather random, only occurring once or twice per day. it started doing this around a week or two ago. Not just on starting a download, when opening chat it will simetimes jsut freeze for a moment or two, sometimes. so not a complete hang, but it freezes for a while and then resumes. Originally posted by zaphodikus:Most of the time, starting a download causes "The application is not responding" and 20 seconds later, its as if everything is fine in the world of steam.
