Nealius Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I tried to run the hotfix update today, and my DCS Updater is telling me it's a 31569.7mb file. I canceled and ran a repair. Repair file size is exactly the same: 31569.7mb. This doesn't sound right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oban Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 delete everything in your _downloads folder. I just ran the hotfix, and it was about 1.3 GB and now it says I'm running the latest version.

QuiGon Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Still giving me a 31gb file...this time increased from 31.5 to 31.6..... Well, seems like your installation is missing some files that it wants to download.

Nealius Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) But...what? I installed the full 2.5 with Caucasus. I tried to install Nevada (which was somewhere around the same file size) but canceled because it was taking too long--I need to wait for a day when I'm not around the computer for it to finish. It wouldn't make sense for the update to try to download Nevada when I didn't tell it to. Edited February 7, 2018 by Nealius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might have cancelled the download, but if the Torrents are still there, they will keep trying to download it, and that's it's still showing 30GB + AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX with Radeon Graphics 3.00 GHz 32 GB RAM 2 TB SSD RTX 4070 8GB Windows 11 64 bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muehlema Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I wonder if I already have the hotfix.

The download size is determined by exactly what modules you have installed. If it is saying 3 odd Gig, then that's what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muehlema Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) Actually it is not showing anything for download. For me it says I am current. Can I force the hotfix?

Nealius Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 Weird...I deleted that folder to get a new torrent/download and it didn't change anything. Maybe my install thinks it needs to download Nevada or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robgraham Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 basically because you told it to install NV it want to the autopatcher goes out and looks for it, there is a work around for it but your editing a file that ED actually say not to edit If you open Autoupdate.cfg in Notepad ++ (don't use standard note pad) you'll see a line looks something like "modules": [ "WORLD", "NEVADA_terrain" ], to eg all the modules it wants (that's my servers cfg area my main comp has a lot more there so if you didn't want nevada to install during an update "modules": [ "WORLD" ], should do it as it's those lines that tell the autoupdater what modules to check and go grab, but you edit at your own risk because as said the file has "WARNING": "DO NOT EDIT this file. You may break your install!", at the top. i7 13700k, 64gb DDR5, Warthog HOTAS, HP Reverb G2 VR, win 11, RTX 3070 TGW Dedicated Server Admin, Australian PVE/PVP gameplay.

Nealius Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) Yep, it was the Nevada terrain. BUT, after removing it from the autoupdate.cfg, I am now getting a 59gb update via torrent, and 88gb via HTTP! What in the hell is wrong with my install? At this point I'm just going to do a full reinstall....which is great because now I can't do anything fun for the next two days as I wait for the download to finish.
