azraal: I might be wrong here but it really feels like E9 appears when you are downloading and an update happens. (That and the odd server is saturated on launch days)
It generally mess my download and no amount of retry seems to do the trick. My only option was to uninstall a re-launch the download from scratch (which was bad because I download at 300ko/s when the connection is good)
However, while I lost a lot of time because I'm downloading mostly at night, I found a way to at least keep most of my downloads when retry doesn't work
- Go in the download folder.
- Rename the game's folder (for exemple cyberpunk2077 ==> cyberpunk2077e . The name doesn't really matter).
- Go in galaxy and uninstall the game. It will throw an error, which is normal since the folder doesn't exist.
- Now the install button is clickable again, so click it
- When you are at the screen where you select the installation's location, select the place where the game was previously but
Don't start the download - Go in the download folder and rename the game folder to what it should be: cyberpunk2077e ==> cyberpunk2077
- Start the download.
The game should read the file and what was downloaded but it should work. You might loose a few go in the process but at least you won't loose everything.
I noted that sometime when the download is marked as done you must check the file, it download a bit more (for cyberpunk it was 20 gigs!) and then you can play.
I agree it's not ideal but I wouldn't be playing the game if not for this workaround.
In my opinion the reason we lose some of the files we downloaded (It actually used to happen to steam at some point), is that sometime a partially downloaded file that is corrupted or do not match what's on the download server, it's simply deleted and redownloaded.
And since most game engines are big fan of packing assets in big bloated archives, that means it redownload a chunk of the game each time.
Now I'm not cdpr or gog so those are speculations.
Hi 3 years later and I'm still having the same issue. However I found an alternative way that doesnt require any renaming/ potential file loss. If you go to the games setting and click repair, itll attempt to read your files. It didnt get anywhere for me so I x'd out of that, and when I went back to update, it didnt give an error and is actually installing now
