PC version now downloading

The 3.0 update is finally available (not using steam for ED so don't know if it's already there too).

Oh and I'd really appreciate it if you'd all be so kind and let me finish the download before you all slow the download servers down.

Thank you [noob]
 
Steam started updating about 10 minutes ago. 10.1GB total file size.

If you have the game on Steam it is safer to let Steam handle the update. Especially with the required updated Launcher for 3.0. I had issues when updating ED outside of Steam using the Launcher instead of the Steam app. That was just doing a simple point update.

Something this big could be more problematic, so... let Steam handle your download if you bought the game on Steam.

Steam has it. Was just advised to exit the Steam client and restart. Worked. Downloading now.
ETA: 20 hours(ish) (I'm on DSL).

As long as you update it to the correct install location there shouldn't be any conflict.

WTH?! DSL is still a thing?!
 
About four hours left for me, which should be just long enough to start a thread or two about how Beyond is ruining the game and I'm never going to play it again.

Gotta do something productive while waiting to log back in.

That didn't matter. The path was correct on both apps, but Steam corrupted the ED application when it attempted to update over the Launcher's update.

It has something to do with file sync or something like that according to FDEV support. My ED app got corrupted when Steam tried to update itself after the update that was downloaded by the Launcher. FEDV advised to never use the Launcher and always use Steam.

I took their advice, since I had to reinstall the entire game to fix that problem. (This was at the 2.4 update)

or... You could roll the dice and hope that the same issue never happens to your installation of the game. ;)
