When I start downloading the game ( Launcher was launched from steam with proton experience)
but there is disk space
well how i can fix that?

I had this with wineâŚnot sure how to fix this with SteamâŚmaybe similarâŚ
My problem was that the installer is installed in the wine directory as per defaultâŚit doesnât ask for a location anywayâŚand then during the install it asks for a SharedCache location that i put on another partition with enough disk space. However the installer evaluates all space starting with Z:\ as the base drive as this is the root directory.
My solution was to define a drive X:\pathtoanotherpartition\EVE in winecfg and then move the files over with the move function inside the launcher.
So in the end i am not sure about your setup and if my problem applies how to solve this in Steam. However i suppose you have a similar problem that your root partition is too small and the launcher takes this info a base, ignoring the final location of the Shared Cache.
Yeah, my root partition is too small, Iâll try that if there are no other options until a certain time.
I would like to have access to steam so I can calculate how many hours I play the game <3
PS - If there is an option to temporarily swap the memory from one partition to another and then back again then maybe that would be the solution to my problem, but Iâm too much of a noob at this ;d
Is this on Linux? You shouldnât be installing it in Root anyway. It should be in Home.
Open your file manager and look at the list of partitions, the one with the most free space is the one you should install it in.
I
I am not trying to install it in root, the game should be installed in the home directory where free 300+ gb but it writes that there is no space. 
You are trying to install to drive Z: and that drive is supposedly set to root and therefore the size of root is evaluated by the launcher and found to be not enough. I would not change that as it will break your other programs.
Also I donât know about Steam. In wine i have just defined another drive X: that doesnât originate at root but at the place where i have enough space. Then i used this drive in the launcher and created the EVE folder and every is fine.
Like so:
The problem here is the windows evaluation as drives where we have underlying a Linux filesystem tree with mounted partitions in several places.
EDIT: maybe this helps a bit further:

I had this issue because of the way I partition my disks. If you have the OS on a separate partition from the games partition or the games on another disk, the stoopid client reads only the hidden WINE directory size. Here is what to do to fix it.
$ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
sda 8:0 0 931.5G 0 disk
ââsda1 8:1 0 500M 0 part /boot/efi
ââsda2 8:2 0 50G 0 part /
ââsda3 8:3 0 880G 0 part /media/john/Games
sdb 8:16 0 931.5G 0 disk
ââsdb1 8:19 0 930.9G 0 part
ââsdb2 8:20 0 522M 0 part
sda2 is where the Linux OS is stored and while it has plenty of wiggle room for the OS the game is residing in sda3 880 GB currently over 500 GB free.
When you or Steam installs the WINE always defaults to the $HOME directory. I donât use Steam but you will find the hidden .wine folder there in your home directory. I installed this game from the terminal prompt from the /media/john/Games folder.
$ export WINEPREFIX=â/media/john/Games/.EVEâ; wine eve-online-latest+Setup.exe
This makes the virtual drive directly on the correct partition without any hassles. Not too sure how that works in Steam.
Actually now when I start the eve launcher I just donât choose where to place the game and then it is installed in the wine folder, otherwise it writes that there is not enough space.
