What do you mean by "linking to Steam"?

DCS Updater stops PM me if you are ready for a bit of testing: enabling additional logs, running tests, sending me the logs.

I’m glad you got it working! Have fun!

Incorrect file location, incorrect file name, incorrect file syntax, or all of the above.

It was updating to 2.5.6.54046 It just could not install the update: 00261.544 STATUS: Can't move C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\_downloads\Mods/aircraft/Ka-50/Cockpit/IndicationTextures/ABRIS_FONT.tga to C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods/aircraft/Ka-50/Cockpit/IndicationTextures/ABRIS_FONT.tga: (1392) The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable. This info was presented to you. Which part if it is unclear? You have a corrupt filesystem on your disk.

Just try. You will see this:

Thanks for the report and the logs. I've added a better detection of broken drivers. Meanwhile, you can force stereo output by placing the attached autoexec.cfg file into the Saved Games/DCS.openbeta/Config/ folder (create if necessary). autoexec.cfg

that's because it had to redownload some parts because of transmission errors. Should not happen on normal connections, though. Having your autoupdate_log.txt can be helpful.

Thanks. I still need the autoupdate_log.txt most.

Okay, good. If you ever have such a problem next time, please attach the logs, it may help to track the problem down and fix it properly.

2.5.6.52437 is the current stable (release) version. So it looks like you installed this one, not the OpenBeta. I've just checked the openbeta installer and it does install 2.5.6.54046 as it should. It may help if you attach your autoupdate.cfg and autoupdate_log.txt + autoupdate_log_old.txt files.

This won't come for the same reasons as noted here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=284531

Steam, for example, does not allow to set a custom download folder, neither do other distribution platforms (to my knowledge). This is for a reason.

Nobody prevents you from making _downloads a symlink; you will be on your own there, though.

May be, once I have a robust logic with all corner cases covered. It is not. It could point to, say, C:\Downloads, and checking if it is not root will help only in extreme cases. The download folder is mostly an invisible thing and making it custom puts an additional cognitive load on a user.

If this is a support request, please, provide the autoupdate_log.txt from the operation.

This feature was removed as it proved to be quite dangerous for some users. The rationale for removal was that the custom download location is hard to remember once set. You will never forget that the updater touches the game install dir, but anything outside will slip out of ones memory and may (and did) lead to unpleasant surprises when either that temp folder is used for something else, or the disk layout changes.

it does not looks like the last part. Probably was cut by the forum engine.

it is unpacking but still should download the rest until it is 100% done. I'd like to see the autoupdate_log.txt from the operation

no such cache. check your network config/routes.

or submit a support ticket.

I'd check AV/firewall settings for the DCS_updater.exe. Seems like it can reach the https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/ but not the https://cdn.digitalcombatsimulator.com/ which serves the downloads.

please, check if you can access this link: https://cdn.digitalcombatsimulator.com/

please, ask the support. they have a solution. the fix will be out early next week.

Just in case, the most recent public updater is always available for download here: https://updates.digitalcombatsimulator.com/ At the bottom of the page.
