Wait until Steam Console says that the depot download is complete and take note of the stated file path.

For those that have the associated DLC:

No this won’t give you the DLC if you don’t have it moron.

Go to the noted folder steam console said it downloaded the files to and select all of them and copy (or cut) them.

Go to your Skullgirls files (Right click the game in steam, click properties, Local Files, Browse) and paste all the files you copied from the downloaded depot. If it asks to replace files, just let it replace the files.

To make sure the game stops trying to auto update lock the update file in the steam client folder to read only.

To do this:
-If you have the game installed on your C: drive go to your Steam folder in Program Files (x86) and open the folder labeled steamapps
-If it’s on a different drive just go to the SteamLibrary folder and open the steamapps folder

-Find the file appmanifest_245170.acf, right click it, go to Properties and clock Read-Only under Attributes

Steam should say that the Skullgirls update it’s trying to download is stopped due to a DISK WRITE ERROR

In order to make the game launchable again put Steam into offline mode in order to turn the update button back into a play button. Going back online will have it try to download the update again only to fail again. Unfortunately that means the game will only launch and be playable in offline mode so there’s no multiplayer.

Hey if you wanna thank me for this or have something I should add let me know in the comments. I don’t play fighting games really and the only reason I’m making this is because I care about fixing PC games like a big nerd. Check out my Steam profile if you wanna drop check out my YouTube and Twitch channels if you’ve ran out of content to watch. Only if you want to tho.
