Files existed, on another drive, but steam didn’t know about them. With new faster download speeds I saved bandwidth not so sure about time. It expected HD to have enough space even though files were already there. So I needed to make space available that wasn’t needed. Then Steam went through lengthy discover, validate, verify …

Install Steam & Torchlight II
I only mention this as a test on my computer with the new parts. Before I added a surge protector and replaced the power supply I was booting/running off a USB drive. The last day running this way the text became unreadable on the screen. Looked scrambled and weird. So I was concerned. All I …
