Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

What's with files needing to be validated every patch?

Every patch released, if I don't validate my files first and go through practically a whole second update, I get booted out of the game at random times (anywhere from loading screen, to during a trial). Why does this happen EVERY patch?

    Take this with a grain of salt, this is what I assume cause Identity V does the same thing


    I think it is verifying the files to make sure you actually have the update fully installed and to make sure its on par with everyone else's files but I am still not completely familiar with how it works
