Blue Archive: Download Failed Error (Workarounds)
Short answer
No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: I thought my game was broken, so I uninstalled and reinstalled it, but it still showed a download failure.
The problem
Error massage with "Downlaod failed" appears upon loading and 'bootloops'. VPN does not help, cloudflare one client refuses to work as well
What players suggest
I thought my game was broken, so I uninstalled and reinstalled it, but it still showed a download failure. And now you're telling me it's because of maintenance until 5 o'clock? lol
Yeah. Its also sucks that reinstalletion and file check does not help with games like BA, because it downlaod most of the game files after installation, outside the steam's control. So steam can perfectly verify the files, but the game itself will not let you in
Did this work for you?
