    in the latest patch i did what i normally do i put steam on update so the game will patch then i go do something else but when i got back it said "Starbound - update required" so i went into my downloads and it said it had finished the update so I restarted the update it only took a moment and it said
    "An error occurred while updating Starbound (disk write error)"
    any idea of what i have to do?

    Disk Write error means you out of hard drive space and/or your hard drive is corrupted.

    The update requires 500MBs at least. o.o

    I had the same problem.

    Your best bet is to just uninstall/reinstall until it works
    Took me at least 4 times; no kidding.

    Same error happened to me. A Steam log clearly indicated I had multiple starbound_server.exe processes running (headless). I killed those and the error cleared.
