I'm sorry to bring this up but I'm experiencing a similar issue. 203 errors to be precise, and the first mission won't start because the laptop is "out of memory".
There have been updates to Exile since this thread, so I wonder, is it the same bug emerging again or a mistake on my end that leads to similar results?
