Can anybody help me / Steam issues.

[majogl 10]

It all began with trying to install the update throught steam. Nothing was happening, the download didnt even start so i tried uninstalling DayZ SA and then redownloading it throught steam. Having high speed fibre optics net i didn´t think it would be an issue, however, when i try to start downloading/installing it again, all steam does is put up the window with "preparing dayz files for install..." in it with the 3 dots flashing and nothing else happening...

I had the same issue, on 60 MB/s last night, it happens on alot of steam games, for me at least,. I assume its due to the high number of people downloading the patch all at once, just give it time. 

 

I might be wrong, but its worth a try right?

Have you:

 

Restarted Steam?

Restarted Windows?

Restarted Router/Modem?

 

I know they are obvious but.. have to be asked.

 

Have  you:

Deleted Local Content for Dayz?

Try..closing Steam... then Go to \Steam\SteamApps and delete everything in downloading & temp folder.  Restart Steam and try downloading Dayz..

 

Let me know if any of this helps of not.

^That, and otherwise, google a bit. If you really can't figure it out, submit a ticket to Steam service.

 

I've had it once or twice, just waiting a bit fixed it for me.
