 Quitting a game requires a full re-download. I spent the better part of two hours downloading Panzer Dragoon, as well as Tomb Raider. I finish downloading Panzer Dragoon, and play it for a bit. I quit, per usual and go on to look at other things. When I head back to Panzer Dragoon, I'm faced with a "Resume" instead of a "Play" button. Apparently I'm having to sit through the third download wait time. What happened here?

Re: Quitting a game requires a full re-download. UPDATE:
After downloading and playing Panzer Dragoon again, I found that 11.6GB of 11.7GB allocated were used when only two games were currently listed on my advanced storage management list. Uru for 2.1 (or so), and TR:L for 1.2. This leads me to believe that maybe GameTap is losing track of where the previously downloaded content is. Anyone concur?

Re: Quitting a game requires a full re-download. Gametap usually does a fair job of keeping up with the content. If for some reason part of a game is lost in some cases the whole game will be remove to prevent corruption. If you keep having trouble with lost games you may want to check your free space in windows if it is less than 12-15GB you may want to try to free up some space.

Re: Quitting a game requires a full re-download. it has to reserve neough space to mount those games as cirtual disks, both the game cd and the hard drive installation space. so it usually keeps about 5 gb reserved for that purpose

Re: Quitting a game requires a full re-download. I have my system disk and my "gaming" disk seperate. C: and D:
What is frustrating is that while my storage management shows only 3.2 or so of disk space used, I have more than a total of 22.2 GB used according to the allocation and used numbers prior to the advanced control. This is cleared out when I remove game file fragments, so that's okay I suppose, but it's frustrating to do each time I'm looking at playing a game.

Re: Quitting a game requires a full re-download. Is there any way to actually FREEZE the automatic deletion of data? I just lost Panzer Dragoon after having played it less than two minutes ago. Not exactly an "Old" game in terms of use.

Re: Quitting a game requires a full re-download. that doesn't sound like something gametap would do at all... what kind of antivirus are you using?

Re: Quitting a game requires a full re-download. indeed, whatever AV software you're using, it needs to be told to let the gametap.exe do anything it wants. some of the kludgier AV programs may need to be specifically configured not to touch GT's virtual drives as well (you'll have to task-switch to do that). McAfee and Norton both play well with GT when properly persuaded to do so.

Re: Quitting a game requires a full re-download. I'm still pointing towards a disk space issue. How much drive space do you have on the partition that Gametap sames the game data to?

Re: Quitting a game requires a full re-download. 21.7 of 95.7GBs are free, though more than 10.5 used when the "advanced management" shows that I have only 9.7 in downloaded content. (More game fragments, yay!)
