How Nuclear War Simulator nuked my computer

I have a Steam version only, and the game never finishes installing, and then becomes impossible to uninstall via Steam. I need to manually delete the 100,000 or so files on my SSD drive.
Now, this never happened with any game in all my years on Steam. I can refund, of course, but wondering if I bought from Matrix direct the same thing would happen?
No big deal, but figured I should report it. I guess I'm the only one.
Best wishes to all!

Are you installing in an external SSD drive?

Almost exactly the same thing happened to me: made a Steam purchase that hung up installing at 99%. I was able to get a refund which removed the files from my machine (I'm using a hard drive, not an SSD). I double-checked and they were all completely gone. I then purchased from Matrix, and everything installed and works with no problem.

Thanks for chiming in on this, guys. Yes, I tried installing to two different external SSDs.
The annoying thing is Steam keeps on trying to re-install the game. So, that's really a Steam issue, and I'm pretty sure a Matrix download would work.

It might be related with the type of FAT you have in your external drives. Are they both formatted in exFAT?
