I have tried 2x to update with 2 known to be good USB sticks and it fails everytime.

Gonna get another stick any try yet again.

I will try this also. Thanks for the possible tip. This is very frustrating, esp when it takes so long to download, unzip, load on stick, go to location, and have it fail 20 times in an hour.

mine attempts to update but keeps failing at different spots with message of "failure to unpack"

I picked up another new usb stick, formatted correctly, and now trying your precise method of download > unzip on local desktop > then drag and drop to get on stick. Heading over after work with this attempt to see if it helps.

If not then, I will try second USB port on the game like others are suggesting.

If still not, then Chas can come figure it out himself, lol.

mine finally worked.

Download to local desktop
unzip to local
drag all 3 files and drop on USB
safely eject USB
insert USB into game and start update process
"fails at unpacking" 2 or 3 times at various stages in the process
cuss a bunch after blowing 20-30 min each time it fails.
turn off game
remove an insert USB in other available port
same issue
cuss some more
try one more time and finally it worked!

Stern has an issue with updates. Whatever they are doing, it needs refinement.

Finally worked but took way too much effort to make this happen.

New code is great!
