This issue may be low priority or very difficult to fix, and has been put on the back burner for the time being.
Descriptive Problem Summary:
When there isn't enough disk space to download resources required to play a game, the loading popup will hang there instead of reporting the problem.
Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
1: Fill up drive
2: Try to play a game (SS13 has a lot of required resources)
3: Loading popup hangs, displays continue button that doesn't work

Expected Results:
Lack of space is reported
Actual Results:
Hangs on loading popup

I don't think this is something that easily can be handled gracefully. When a disk gets full the whole OS runs into trouble.
It's certainly not a big deal, but surely it would be possible to check remaining disk space against the size of the resource package?
It'd be possible, but rather pointless. Only one in a billion times would it ever be likely to come up, and it doesn't solve the problem of so many other places where running out of disk space would be an issue. When this is an issue you can expect the OS to start puking at any moment, if it isn't already.
Fair enough, better to work on something of more consequence.
