Note: This guide covers content from Schedule 1, a satirical video game set in a fictional world. All items, recipes, and references are entirely made up and exist only in the game. Please don’t try any of this in real life.
If your full game download keeps getting stuck, bouncing between percentages, or just refuses to install after downloading, you’re not alone. A bunch of players are dealing with the same issue, and thankfully, there are a few workarounds that actually work.

Fix Option 1: Steam Support Ticket (Fastest Fix)
Go to Steam Support
Submit a ticket describing the download issue (just say the full game won’t install properly)
Once the ticket is processed, your game should instantly finish installing
It sounds weird, but for some reason, triggering support kicks Steam into gear.
Fix Option 2: Uninstall and Clear Cache
If the support method doesn’t help, try this multi-step method:
Uninstall both the demo and the full version
In Steam, go to Settings > Downloads and click Clear Download Cache
Change your download region to somewhere else (example: Washington DC)
Restart your PC
Launch Steam again and check that your new download region is still set
Try downloading the full game again
Fix Option 3: Pause and Unpause
This is the simplest one and a last-ditch effort for steam games.
Let the download run until it seems stuck
Hit Pause, wait a few seconds, then Unpause
Sometimes it jolts Steam into finishing the install. Sometimes it does nothing. Worth a try if you're feeling lucky.
Final Blurb
The issue isn’t with Schedule 1 itself—it’s a Steam-related problem, especially for people who had the demo installed. Until Steam patches it properly, these fixes are your best shot. If nothing works, that support ticket trick seems to be the magic bullet.
