Steam users with Orange Sidewinder after Update 4…. Possible Fix.

Verify your game files from within the LAUNCHER, not through Steam. It's under the OPTION menu at the top of the launcher.

I first tried verifying my files in Steam and the constant Orange Sidewinder error wouldn't go away. Doing it via the launcher worked.

Verifying the files resulted in a few downloads. Something appears to have gone wrong with the update downloading over Steam.

EDIT: Disable Virtual Cache in the options before verifying the files, not doing so can slow down the process a lot on slow PC's. Also, it may take a while for the launcher to get past "preparing for update".
I didn't disable the cache but I also have a very fast M.2 NVMe drive.

EDIT 2: ED have pushed a update to Steam (restart it). It should of fixed this problem.
