PGA TOUR 2K21 Not Downloading / Downloading Error Fix

I know it could be really irritating when the download gets stuck. We are all in a hurry and we definitely don’t want to start all over again. So how do we get this download problem fixed? Just follow these simple steps :

Restart Steam and Computer:

You can start off by restarting Steam only. If the issue is not fixed then you can try restarting your system once.

Restarting the system would seem weird but trust me it is not.

Restarting your system clears out all kinds of system caches and resets the system state along with the programs.

Clear Download Cache:

This would help the Steam client on clearing locally cached configuration data and receive it from the Steam servers again. Here is how you do it :

  • Open Steam Client
  • Go to the Steam option located on the top left of your client.
  • Click on Settings.
  • On the Left Panel click on Downloads
  • Then Click on Clear Download Cache

Repair Steam Library Folder:

Your steam folder needs user permission for steam to access it. It has to be writable by all users. Sometimes these user permission don’t work and it needs to be reset. Here is how you do it .

  • Open Steam Client
  • Go to the Steam option located on the top left of your client.
  • Click on Settings.
  • On the Left Panel click on Downloads
  • Click on Steam Library Folders
  • Right-click on the folder you have Steam installed and select Repair Library Folder

Change Download Region:

Steam has servers divided into specific regions which help the users benefit from fast download speeds and better performances overall. Sometimes the servers in that region could be blocked due to a technical error or maybe overloaded or slow.

In such cases, steam gives us the option to change our servers to get better performance. If the download is stuck, you can change the server and see if it resumes or not. Here is how you do it.

  • Open Steam Client
  • Go to the Steam option located on the top left of your client.
  • Click on Settings.
  • On the Left, Panel click on Downloads
  • Under Download Region you have a drop-down arrow that you need to click and scroll. Select a region of your choice (you have to try multiple regions and see which works best for you)
  • Restart Steam.

Reinstall Steam:

If the issue still persists then Resintalling Steam might help. Here is how you do it.

  • Type Control Panel on your windows search bar.
  • Select Programs and Features
  • Look for Steam and Right Click on it and select Uninstall 
  • You can Reinstall Steam from here

Hopefully, these fixes will help you fix any downloading errors for PGA Tour 2K21.
