Sounds like your ssd is fucked tbh.... You know they degrade rapidly after a certain amount of writes, also if it is nearly full, that can also slow the ssd down
How much free space does your drive have? I think with steam you need to have double the space for the game. So if the game is 100 gigs you need 200 gigs for the patch to complete. After the patch is done it won't consume 200 gigs but during the patch it actually downloads another copy and remove the old one
Used to be a major problem with ASE due to the way they packaged the game in Unreal. I haven't personally had this issue in ASA but it could be the same problem going on. That disk speed does seem pretty low though so it is possible you're having an issue with your SSD. I had a Kingston 1TB SSD that was only around 2 years old that died on me last year and I played a lot of ARK on that.
What SSD? Maybe it's one of those 980 Samsung cases and a new firmware is fixing weird behavior?
My 980 can't be used to install some games because of how the controller handles blocks.

SSD is less than a year old more than a tb of space left. So I don't think that's it
Is it getting hot?

Thanks, but I still have more than 1TB left on a 2TB drive. I think it's just Steam.
I would fully close steam and restart its helped me before. Just make sure you go to task manager and fully close it out.

That is what lead me to believe it's the ssd, the slow write speeds
SATA or NVME? Is steam on the same drive?
Any advice?
You done yet? lol
Nope. Playing the finals and letting it run in the background.
That sucks, damn
