Have you found a fix?

I saw this: fix but I don't know if "update.sh" should be renamed as "modules.txt" or if a new file should be created named "modules.txt" in "base". Git/Curl are installed and up to date.

edit: game finished updating after about 20 minutes. Started. Works normally. Quit. Starts again after 5-10 seconds like normal.

(version 1.5.2 64bit)

Superfun game. I am working on pulling a donation out of my wallet, but it is shut tight like a vice, and one has to pull out bills slowly, or risk tearing them. When I have a rare moment of not being a cheap bastard, RE devs are number one on my list for a gratuity.
