File system not supported: Steam?
Hello! Today I tried to download Red Dead Redemption 2 to my external hard drive via Steam, but the following error occurred: File system not supported. Could someone please help me…
Thank you in advance for all your help!
You should not store games on external GPS in general, but always on internals, otherwise you slow down your system. This is especially important for such large games as RD, GTA and Co.
In your place, I would delete RD2 completely. Before you can try to fix the game via the Stream application. Of course in reverse order. And then try again.
Much success.
If he can’t even install the game, then of course it made little sense to recommend it to delete it completely.
Right, it is that it was created by a first-instalation folder, in which there are still data.
But it’s bullshit, because the question is clear in connection with the file system.
Its hard drive will probably be formatted in FAT32, which limits file size to 4 GB. Such game has several files that are over 4 GB.
I always go out with all the possibilities so that, in case of doubt, the answers already given can be recourseed. This can be prevented in the event of a doubt that the questioner has to catch a thousand times.
What initial installation?
Where do you read that he had installed the game before?
If the file system, which means the way the hard drive is formatted, does not support the game, how should it have installed it before?
It is generally anything but rational to install games on an external hard drive.
The error message may come from that your external hard drive is formatted with FAT32, whereupon no files with more than 4 GB can be installed.
God
If FAT32 is used to format on exFAT, and try again.
If that doesn’t help … internally install where NTFS is the standard.
I tried to change it when I noticed that NFTS is the standard
