Steam Beta Update Problem

Post by VAUXHALL »

It seems that something is wrong with the steam beta updater. When it tries to update, it gets to 99% and stops. I've tried restarting steam and my computer numerous times, but nothing helps. I've had this problem before (yesterday and about every other time it updates it seems), and it always fixes itself. My problem is that it could take anywhere from an hour to 2 days to fix (yesterday took about 2 hours).

So has anyone else had or fixed this problem before?

Yeah, that doesn't appear to be working. Steam just recreates the files and gets stuck at 99% again whenever I restart it. Any other ideas?

OK, got it working. Had to update it through safe mode with networking.
