    Every few updates something breaks, reinstall on console, and verify integrity of game files on steam

    It's after every update, EAC error, files been modified. When you verify your local files it takes like another 5 minutes and some .pak file(s) need to be downloaded again, last time it's like 1.8GB.

    I still have the exact same problem and I have to uninstall and re-download the game every update it has become a tradition and I'm not sure how to fix it, it keeps saying stuff like EAC error, files have been, and that the pak.chunks are not working properly and I have tried to troubleshoot this for weeks and I cannot find the answer to this problem.

    On PC after each DBD update or steam update I have to verify my files. It doesnt seem to matter if it add my icon packs or not there are always 3-5 files that fail to verify and must be reaquired. This usually results in 1-3 GB needing to be downloaded every update to play the game. If I forget to verify my files before playing I will usually be kicked out of the 1st or 2nd game I play due to files not being found. I just recently did a verification and 5 were found un-verified/corrupted. I have not played since I did the last verification so nothing should have been changed

    I've got the same issue from a long time now, at least the 10ish last update/patch and every time I have to retrieve 2 or more files (1-2 GB). Got used to it kinda xD

    For your EAC problem, maybe try this cause I had the same issue once : put the game AND Steam on administrator properties, both need to run as admistrator. Hope it'll help you.
