Steam update stuck: "file content locked"

Issue Type (Required):

Installation

Issue Description (Required):

When updating for Traitor Curse part 1 and 2, the Steam update has been stuck at the end of the process: download & installation goes allright, then at 98% it fails with the Steam error message “file content locked”. It is possible to relaunch the update, it goes back to the reorganization step and a few second later same failure and same error message.

Download cache clear, file integrity check or turning off/on Steam client do not help. Only solution available: uninstall Darktide then reinstall fresh.
