100% Working Fix on Steam Download Queued / Steam Games Not Updating.


Ahhh! Steam Problem Game Not Updating:

So, you start your Steam today for playing and found some of your beloved games require an update. No problem, you will think - it requires a just a push of a button and it will update automatically, however since you have enabled auto-update the game should have been updated automatically but it's not... Something Wrong you smell!!.






You check the Manage downloads tab and you see some of your games are in update required (not queued) mode, you push the update now button - it starts to download for a brief time, however, you see no progress in games' update bar, and then download suddenly stops bringing the game to its original state of Update required (not queued) state.

FINDING PROBABLE SOLUTIONS:

You do it again and again and again... the results are exactly the same. The game is not updating at all period. Since you cannot update it, you cannot play that game (online) and it's really frustrating as the game needs to update to run.

You hit the Google for solutions and type " steam game stuck on update queued", "stem game not updating" Steam game stuck on update required (not queued) mode", " Stuck In Steam queue forever" etc, etc, and you stumble upon various solutions such as:

  •       Restart your computer.
  •       Checking the date and time.
  •       Logging out and then log in it again in steam.
  •       Flushing Steam config files and DNS.
  •       Adding exceptions to antivirus.
  •       Disabling Firewall.
  •     Restarting router manually or resetting router settings.
  •      Delete or clear Steam's download Cache.

     And many more...

While many above listed tips will or may not work for many games! the gamers do follow them and many times do not get the solution.

THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION 100% WORKING:

Now, There are simple 2 tips which work 100 %, if you have not changed any settings in your computer or router, these 2 tips will work and put you out of stuck misery!

1st:   

  • Go in Stem > Downloads > Clear Download cache button.



  • Hit that button and clear the cache.


  • The stem will restart and log into steam again.


2nd: 

  • Now go to again Stem > Downloads> Download Region.



  • From the Dropbox change the Download region to any other region.


  • Hit OK button


By doing this it is highly likely that the game will start downloading and updating just like before. 👍


However, if changing the download region to other region did not give any results for the 1st time, then try changing to different regions and keep on changing till your download won't start.


Guys, this is the only solution to update a game if it is stuck on update mode. Many times due to some regional servers problem, the steam unable to communicate to servers and due to this, the game update stops. By changing the servers to different region Steam can communicate and can update the games.

If you wish someday later, you can again move back to your original default region.
