Updater messing up the installation

[Bushmanni]

Multiple friends of mine have had corrupted DCS install that DCS updater thought is OK and solved it by re-installing DCS. I have not reported it as there's no solid evidence of the cause but now after the new IC implementation the IC will fail your installation even if updater clears it OK in some cases. The only way to clear this issue is to delete all the traces of the module in all installations (release, beta and alpha) causing IC fail and then reinstall. If you don't do this the updater will copy the mutated data from other installations and the problem persists.

 

Obviously the file integrity check in IC is superior to the one used in updater so it would make sense to use the new IC technology also in updater and maybe DCS users would have fewer odd bugs and problems and fixing these issues would be less of a chore.

If you could zip your whole logs folder and attach it we would have some clues.

 

also your autoupdate_log.txt.

 

Most of the problems happen if users do not remove private mods before updating.

Sorry, I'm not having this issue myself but wanted to bring it up as there's definite issue with the updater ie. presumably correctly installed game according to updater (doesn't do a thing when attempting a repair) doesn't pass IC.
