Bug last update 2.5.6.59398 Open Beta

[H2owing]

Sorry I don't know where to put this subject ...

I can't do the last update because I don't have enough space. 28 Go instead of 50 Go required for this update (see screenshot)

How heavy is this update ?

I'm downloading 51 Gb of stuff... and it's extremely slow.

It's a PITA, to tell it frankly...

I had to move other game installations to a different disk to free up space.  Apparently, the downloaded file is huge, but it must overwrite a lot of existing files, because I have plenty of space after the installation.

 

BUT WARNING - all my authorizations got wiped out (every single one) and I haven't gotten into the DCS beta yet.

Its very sad that the update process insists on using the _downloads folder under the main game installation folder. It would be helpful of we were able to choose another destination for update downloads. I have had to move my entire DCS installation to another drive just so that I could update it. Poor show ED.

AFAIK you can create a windows symlink in Windows 10 and redirect the temporary update files to another drive with more space.

Yup, just put one or two theater maps folders on another drive, they're the biggest folders of all, and symlink them back into their original folder, instantly gain 100+ gigs by doing that.  Game can't tell the difference if the drives are similar speeds.
