    I got the issue today, that I wanted to update, but the updater wasnt able to do it and give me a error like:
    Too many files. Maybe .exe in wrong directory?

    Was in the right directory ;). I was able to skip that in taking out some user maps and install them again. But I think that should be get fixed ;)

    Are you sure you do not have any other files in there? The game is around 5000 files, and the limit is set to 20000 files.

    This check prevents users installing it in c:\windows\ and the updater would delete windows then x|

    Yeah I am sure...the game got an personal folder. I installed every map, which is aviable. Don´t know why its not updating. The folder contains 38.227 files. But no bullshit just maps/cars/objects. The limit should be set higher.

    ;)

    Hey,

    I'm having the same problem, its nice to know there is a limit. I have a bunch of community maps and car parts installed so this must be the reason why my update failed. When I moved some of the community parts out of the folder the update worked fine. Is there anyway this file check limit can be remove, or greatly increased? It will be quite annoying to move files every time we update, especially as more and more community content comes out. Keep up the good work devs I love this game!
