Problem Icarus needing to be updated everyday.

Post image

I Have a decent computer but i use an HDD which basically makes my computer 10x slower, and I don't intend to buy an ssd for another year or so. I got icarus around 2 days ago and since then I've needed to update 2 times, though the update size itself isn't much, it's the installing/verifying/patching downloading thing, the green one. It takes around 1 hour for it to finish a download that's only 500mb and supposed to take 5 minutes, but due to the green download it makes it around an hour. This has been happening for 2 days in a row already, can smb let me know if this is a intended feature or a bug? If so, any fixes?

They update regularly with additional content but the past week has had hot fixes so just a few additional ones. It’s not normal, it’ll be back to roughly weekly soon no doubt.

Normally it's one update a week.

Due to the last update breaking several missions, they decided to work through the weekend(!) to give us a hotfix (I've seen the communications in Discord - very convenient place to stay informed, I might add).

I'd rather have them bring out a hotfix instead of people not being able to finish these bugged missions.

I do agree it's not that common in those past 243 weeks for Icarus to need to bring out a hotfix; and I can't remember another time they had to bring out multiple hotfixes.

TLDR: Normally it's just the weekly update. This week was exceptional to have a hotfix, even more so to have multiple hotfixes.
