Open Beta does not exist anymore. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/2024-01-26/

If you don't select any terrain during installation game suggests to "GET TERRAIN". Button leads to NTTR map eshop page https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/terrains/nttr_terrain/ I think it would be better to use link to select from all terains https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/terrains/ or some other available terrains promoting page.

When you want to add or remove group of modules, for example "Terrains, A/C Jet, etc." and you click on checkbox when group is collapsed, the sub-items don't get added/removed.

I can confirm it's fixed in DCS 2.7. 2.7 switches to default audio device resolving the issue. 2021-05-05 20:52:30.275 INFO SOUND: Opening audio device "{0.0.0.00000000}.{b61839fe-309c-4198-8a44-a861b06d8432}" 2021-05-05 20:52:30.275 ERROR SOUND: Failed to open device "{0.0.0.00000000}.{b61839fe-309c-4198-8a44-a861b06d8432}": 0x80070490 (?) 2021-05-05 20:52:30.275 INFO SOUND: Opening default audio device. 2021-05-05 20:52:30.277 INFO SOUND: Speaker layout: auto 2021-05-05 20:52:30.278 INFO SOUND: Driver reports 8 channels with mask 0x63F 2021-05-05 20:52:30.278 INFO SOUND: Using 8 channels at 48000 Hz 2021-05-05 20:52:30.278 INFO SOUND: Channel layout: FrontLeft FrontRight FrontCenter LowFrequency BackLeft BackRight SideLeft SideRight 2.5 ends with failed to start SND_Renderer. 2021-04-09 18:32:08.868 INFO SOUND: Opening audio device "{0.0.0.00000000}.{a61839fe-309c-4198-8a44-a861b06d8432}" 2021-04-09 18:32:08.868 ERROR SOUND: Failed to init IAudioClient on device: 0x88890004 (AUDCLNT_E_DEVICE_INVALIDATED) 2021-04-09 18:32:08.868 ERROR SOUND: Failed to start SND_Renderer. 2021-04-09 18:32:08.868 ERROR SOUND: can't start renderer

I had set DCS audio output to sound device which got removed from my computer. DCS gets stuck during startup. Log and config attached. dcs.log options.lua

Still reproducible with 2.5.6.50979.

You need to contact your antivirus software provider and they will analyze file and fix their software.

Caucasus is made using old technology and won't be updated as it would break old missions. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4288498&postcount=316

Year ago we had stable updated once per month. Now we will have open beta updated once per month. It looks to me like we are all moving from beta to stable... I am worried now we will have archaic stable version and beta will contain random bugs which won't be fixed for months if they won't affect most popular modules.

FIXED

It may work other way... Deka and ED could have been motivated to release JF-17 and other new modules in stable much sooner, if they could not depend on sales thanks to users running open beta.

Bugs which are both in stable and open beta are not good argument against stable as you will suffer from them in both versions. Problem is when bugs are fixed in open beta and not in stable and it's for long time. Problem with open beta are those bugs which cause crashes to desktop and unsuable features. People should push on ED to make sure bugs breaking features are not allowed in stable version so it's usable all the time.

That's great idea... ED should just rename it to open alpha and problem is solved. :music_whistling:

@BIGNEWY... there is undocumented change in Mi-8. Added two new options in Special tab. COLLECTIVE THRESHOLD... and COLLECTIVE BRAKE MODE. Also it seems it does not work as expected, at least in Hydro lock mode.

Last two options:

@BIGNEWY... MP open beta is not compatible with stable, but netcode change is not mentioned in changelog.

@nickos86, that's release/stable version, it is updated when build is "stable" and "bug free". Before 2.5.6 "mess" it was actually updated once per month, but online community still choosed to use open beta...

You forget to provide track or miz file for reproducing purposes. Attached it for you. AI units are able to accelerate towards hill, but units controlled by player are not able to. CA_Test.miz

@PE_Tigar, if I understand correctly you are comparing Deka's missiles with ED's missiles... but ED rockets may be far from reality too. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=248394

Kaspersky won't whitelist automatically after you submit it, they will do exactly what you describe as "check your house before accusing smoke detector" and after that they will somehow resolve it. By the way you can also check suspicious files using online services if you have doubts: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload

Someone from you Kaspersky users should report false positive, so it get fixed for all. https://support.kaspersky.com/1870

Torrent was disabled on purpose because it was not working correctly. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4300298&postcount=6 You should provide more info to ED so they will be able to determine why HTTP download is not working for you.
