Exorcet Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 I noticed that after I tried to update the OB branch of DCS, I would get the update prompt repeatedly on launch. When I checked version my OB said it was the old version. The DCS update log said that update was "terminated by user". The update would stop when uneeded files were listed, which I usually just exit rather than delete. The update would only proceed when I selected delete. I've not seen this happen before, so it seems like a bug to me.

silverdevil Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 @Exorcet i suggest posting the autoupdate_log.txt file in the root of the DCS install folder. i believe all you need to do is empty the _downloads folder of its contents. also found in the root of the install folder.

Exorcet Posted September 1, 2022 Author Posted September 1, 2022 Yes, this appears to be the case, choosing the option to clear the downloads folder allowed the update to proceed. I'm just not sure why I had to do it this time and never in previous update attempts. The auto update log simply says "Cancelled by user" in all cases until I accepted the delete option.
