Is anyone else having this issue? Most of my games update automatically (as they're configured to) but every once in a while one of them shows as update needed and queued, but it doesn't start until I force it. That's irritating because it invariably happens when I think "Oh hey, haven't played x in a while" and then I can't.

I have my downloads set to the right region, and to allow during gameplay (even though this also happens when I'm not in a game).

Thanks.

(No hidden giveaway, sorry folks)

Might be that you have, "Limit auto-update scheduling," checked on the same page. It would queue until it is scheduled to start.

Nope, all looks like it should be clear to download at any time, and most games do.

I speed read a thread about this. Some people claimed that switching from WiFi to wired stopped it and another person said that they turned down their connection speed in the Steam settings because it was writing too quickly and Steam was throttling it. I don't know exactly what is causing it, but those seemed like popular answers.

I'm on wired, but I'll try and turn down the speed limit a bit and see whether it recurs, thanks. :D

Only happens to me when I'm idling cards. What I get is updates not download because of 'NOT ENOUGH DISC SPACE'. Latest Payday 2 update is 114.6MB and won't download even though I have ~10GB free disc space

Payday 2 is special with update it needs the near the same size as the main game for updates free

Could be disk space because updates sometimes require a full upgrade of the original game files, so it depends on the particular game the update is for and the amount of space available. 10GB isn't much. Some games require over 50GB which means double the amount when an update of less than 200MB comes in.

I don't think it's disk space because if I go into my downloads page I can click "update now" and it happily goes and does it.

Yes, this happens sometimes. And then I need to manually update them, but it doesn't annoy me that much.

It used to happend a lot to me too. I don't remember how did I solved but I remember that it didn't solve suddenly I mean like itself. I did something and it stopped I'd add here if I remember but it might be something about "Desktop optionals" you know there's something like "choose the programs that you want to be open when you start the windows" I don't exactly remember as I said but you can check those settings if you know where there are :p
