Download stuck at 97% on Steam!!

Hello everyone,

I have been installing the game from time to time, and played around 95h, never had issue with downloading, yesterday I wanted to play it again, but at 97% of download I get corrupt download, only POE2 the rest of games can be downloaded normally. I tried from EPIC Games launcher, I downloaded it and launched the game without issues, yet on Steam, I tried clearing cache, repairing library, updating graphics card, bios, restarted windows, used Epic games files as backup for Steam nothing solved the problem
I have space on my NVME around 300 GB Free.

If Steam is repeatedly downloading files only to label them corrupted, try changing your download region in the Steam client. It's possible they've a caching problem in one of their data centers.

  • Open Steam
  • Open the Settings window
  • Switch to the Downloads tab
  • Change the Download Region to an alternative that's reasonably near to you
  • Restart Steam when prompted, then try installing Path of Exile 2 again
Today… by divine decree… your patch of Excel, begins.

Hi, thank you, but I fixed it by reinstalling Steam.
