For the past 3-4 patches, i have been getting file validation error every single time... it’s unbearable

This time, after a 2 GB update, the EAC again detected change in file, so i validated the file, and i have to download 16 GB just for replacement...

I uninstalled the game, and check how large the whole game is. It’s 26 GB. How can it mess up 16 GB (60%) of the file with only 2GB update!?

This is already several times, and I’m getting very annoyed. Please fix it.

    Ikr, it is super annoying. I am getting 3 GB verification download for a 35 kb hotfix.

    I've been told by mods this is not DBD / BHVR related...

    My ass is not...

    DBD is such built different, you know?

    While other EAC games work, DBD just needs a wheelchair

    It’s definitely related to BHVR. After all it’s their patch that ruins my game files.

    Even if it’s EAC problem, they should take the responsibility and fix the issue with EAC

    i have the same thing. 4.6 gb file needs to be replaces. it's more than 2 times the actual update.

    and to makes things even more fun. my game did not even run before. sooo....i had to reinstall the game (two times, also verified integrity few times) did not work, i reinstalled steam, and installed the game again. It runs, but now i get this validation error every time i get hooked, now i have to fix something AGAIN , when I already have everything newly installed. i just dont know at this point.

    and for me it is like this every update. i have to reinstall steam every update, not sure if it's my laptop or what but it is like this only for dbd update.

    i'm very much frustrated at this point. send me some love, guys. I'm tired of this dbd bullcr*app
