I cannot confirm this to work with every update, nor can I confirm that this is more than a one time fix but it did work this time and is worth a try. Method 2: Set the Starbound folder to not be Read-only. There are still others for which this will not work and it is not a permanent solution as it will happen time and time again. With some Googling, it appears some people must reinstall post-restart while others simply have to patch. If this fails to work, reinstall for potential success. You must restart your computer first and foremost, and then go to your Steam library and force Starbound to update again by moving it to the top of the queue if it has not done so already. (Update: This is one method, but see below for a less irritating option!) Method 1: Rebooting. The game also claimed several files were missing during verification, but could not download the new update files.Īfter reinstalling and still being shot down, I did what manic would do: restarted my computer. I stumbled across this super simple solution after running into a wall where I could not start the game because it needed an update, but refused to finalize due to the dreaded disc write error.
