I’m not sure which specific cache it was but whatever is in the Steam cache altogether.
I have a theory, I realized all my steam cache data was being saved in my C drive, which is my smallest SSD … I wondered what was taking up so much space. At the time I had this issue going on I was at 103 of 112gb utilization. I wonder if there simply wasnt enough space on the drive to fetch, write, and overwrite on the cache. I’ve since moved it to a different SSD and am having better luck. I swear I think I’m even getting better performance…
