Why doesn't it work? Why do we get "Error writing to file"?

After some research, I have a theory.

I went through the Change List to see what the last updates to go through were. It was 12 June 2016, when IceTea added Vissia Trovato and made a batch of other changes. Those show up fine. The next update on the list was 16 June 2016, where he made another slew of changes. Those don't update on 2.5 nor any others from that day on.

Looking at the Change List for 16 June 2016 I noticed something odd. Bear added three venues that day and they're showing in the fighter list. I looked through all 210 pages of changes and those are the only venues listed. I suspect the game is trying to add them as fighters then stopping the update and showing the error message when it realizes they aren't.

I don't know what, if anything, can be done about it but that seems like a likely answer to why updates quit working in 2.5.
