No mods, clean system with minimal background tasks and can't even install the update on Win 10, Australia servers. I keep getting a "disk write error" halfway through the download of the patch. This has NEVER happened before. Can't play my $60 spitfire right now...... fix pls.

Disk write error is a hardware problem as far as I am aware, have you checked your disks for errors?

thanks

There is more possible reasons. Check the no write protection is turned on. Try to disable your antivirus/firewall software if you use any.

Windows 7 needs the windows update listed above.

Bare in mind Microsoft will stop supporting windows 7 in the near future.

thanks

Windows 7 support ends January 14 2020. For the companies they can extend the support to January 2023. But only for security updates. For Windows 7 enterprise it is 25 USD per computer for first year, 50 USD for second year and 100 for third year. That means for the full 3-years ESU for windows 7 enterprise costs 175 USD per computer.

For Windows 7 Pro it is 50-100-200 - 350 USD total per computer.

You should not have closed my thread. I still have issues with the game (it still won't even start). But I have made a ticket.

Also, that update is not compatible with my windows (?)

My Windows7 can't update

No, my "disk write error" while trying to download your update is a Steam/DCS problem. I can download and update everything else just fine, have no SSD or HDD issues on my PC whatsoever and i was playing this very simulation without issue, the day before the patch. Yes, i've verified the files, yes i've ran chkdsk, sfc and DISM, updated windows, updated drivers, defrag, Malwarebytes scan, rootkit scan, removed peripherals, updated periph drivers, firewall exceptions, modem security/firewall checked.....

I can game play Fortnite, Company of Heroes and web browse all at once, while checking these things. Maybe it's the patch and not my HDD....
