    I try to update it and I get "An error occured while updating Starbound (disk write error)"

    Anyone else been getting this?

    Same issue here.
    Never got past the initial loading screen after launch before attempting to update.

    I had this, just open up Task manger, go to processes and end Starbound.exe.

    Steam then updated for me and I could play fine.

    Go validate your files in steam

    Ensure you have no rouge exe files running, and you have no files from starbound open when attempting to update.

    ^ This. It means starbound or the launcher is running in the background, so it can't do the update.

    Thanks for the help. Update seems to be downloading now. 1mb/s. Gonna see how it works now after closing it in process and updating.

    Ending the process worked for me also. Thank you.

    Worked indeed. Explains perfectly why there is a disk-write error!

    Please Steam, change this to "cannot over-write file, file in use: ... "
