agentdarnell Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 OK I am getting quite annoyed. I am running an older version of dcs beta 2.5.2 because I can never download enough to update. Every time i dl and install it restarts then has more 38+ gig files to download and install. It will never not ask to update to 3.5.5. or actually update to it. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
David OC Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 " It will never not ask to update to 3.5.5" ? Latest Open Beta Hotfix 2.5.5.33184 How much drive space do you have...? The large downloads are compressed and need to expand when finished. The down loader should start off where it left off if interrupted. It has for me in the past.

agentdarnell Posted July 8, 2019 Author Posted July 8, 2019 I have enough room left.. Have about a tb left on my games drive. It installes then goes into another update. If I had internet other than my phone right now would not be an issue, but unfortunately I dont so it takes forever to download each update. I am uninstalling stable version and only going to run Beta I think as it will free up 100+ gigs. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
cthulhu68 Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 When updating it first upates the installer then goes into your DCS update and if you havent updated in a while it will be big download. Does it freeze up or stop downloading or are you just cancelling it?

Stable and Beta This is then linked to your account and depending purchases and the ones you install is how big the full install is, Beta or stable. Persian Gulf map is 32 GB on it's own for an example. I'm up to 170 GB with all the maps and most of the modules. i7-7700K OC @ 5Ghz | ASUS IX Hero MB | ASUS GTX 1080 Ti STRIX | 32GB Corsair 3000Mhz | Corsair H100i V2 Radiator | Samsung 960 EVO M.2 NVMe 500G SSD | Samsung 850 EVO 500G SSD | Corsair HX850i Platinum 850W | Oculus Rift | ASUS PG278Q 27-inch, 2560 x 1440, G-SYNC, 144Hz, 1ms | VKB Gunfighter Pro Chuck's DCS Tutorial Library Download PDF Tutorial guides to help get up to speed with aircraft quickly and also great for taking a good look at the aircraft available for DCS before purchasing.

Does it freeze up or stop downloading or are you just cancelling it? Neither. It just keeps downloading, unpacking and installing, then downloads more and more. It will install say 10gb then download 39gb more, then another 38, then 15. So on and on. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
