oh ive been there lol cheap high capacity cards from unknown sellers are often fake: they report a big size but fail once you write past their real capacity. test it on a PC with a tool like H2testw or F3 before trusting it. lmk how it goes

long time lurker first post lol reading this at 2am instead of sleeping, no regrets pls help 🙏

also check the service status page for the store or downloads. if theres an ongoing issue, nothing on your side will help until its fixed. reading release notes like its a horror novel

if youre installing to an external USB hard drive, try the internal drive as a test, slow or failing external drives are a common source of install errors, and Series X S games optimised for teh console must run from internal or expansion…

been there man exact same thing happened to my old thinkpad last month

oof try turning off teh fan curve first, fixed it for me. any update on this?

same issue here on my work pc. no idea whats going on

ok weird one i swear 163.71 is cursed the real fix was the friends we made along the way

oof if artifacts persist after DDU and an older driver, and even appear in BIOS, back up your data and look into warranty, dont keep stress testing a card that shows artifacts in BIOS.

been there man bump... still happening with windows install for me worked for me anyway 🤷
