It was the installation as you mentioned in your second paragraph.

The content file never had a chance to complete the download when her power was interrupted. When she checked the progress, it was at about 40GB capacity before her power was lost.

The next morning when my partner went to check the location at C>programfiles(x86)> steam> steamapps> content: All she could find was the primary target download folder that had nothing else in it.
It seemed as though nothing got through although at least 40GB had already been registered prior to the power loss.
So as a result, she had to pretty much start all over again.

Under normal circumstances if an update that is processing through the usual Steam channels gets interrupted for any reason, the usual download typically resumes pretty much where it left off when the connection gets re-established . (This has happen to me as well as my partner on several occasions in the past).

But this type of download is definitely not typical. It’s a full 114GB download.
I’m still unclear how this archive depot works, but it doesn’t seem to be the same way as a normal update/download occurs (the kind we’re most familiar with).

One thing of particular note is that this version is actually a completely separate installation from the version the majority of us are current playing (Age of War Chap 4). This version goes back before the 1st Chapter: Age of War came out. Although it still requires Steam to be open and running to be able to play the game, but with this there is no (3rd Party) FC Live Services connection associated with it.

So far, my installation has been running flawlessly.
