.\bin\DCS_updater update 2.8.3 will update to the most recent 2.8.3.xxx version

That's possible to implement. Noted.

Hi! Sorry for the delay. We fixed the installer some time ago.

We found out there was one more problem, apart from incompatibility with LG Screen Splitter and we solved it as well. Next openbeta should be ok.

There's a more than one problem with the start. On of them is LG Screen Splitter software. We're working on a workaround atm. All other problems seem to be already resolved in the internal builds.

Do you guys use LG displays and the Screen Splitter software?

a quick update: we are testing another fix.

Thank you for testing this idea out! It's a pity it doesn't help. We are searching for the solution.

Okay, can I just post a zip with the file? Unpack into the install folder DCS-exe-local-file-unzip-to-install-folder.zip

The list of files reads 'DCS.exe.local Text Document' - it means that the real file name is DCS.exe.local.txt - you need to remove the .txt part

Please, create an empty file DCS.exe.local, for example in the Notepad (mind the extension when saving the file! it should be .local) Run DCS.exe after that. Thanks.

from the next update, DCS in the dedicated server mode won't use hardware ID for encypting the nerwork.vault file anymore. This should solve the issue with cloud-based servers. The only thing you have to do is to log in manually once.

Looks like the same issue as here: Please, try the workaround and report.

Can you please, create an empty file DCS.exe.local in the bin folder right near DCS.exe and try to run - it should work (I hope).

Thank you for the report. Installer fixed. Most probably this is a local issue. Please file a support ticket.

the solution is being tested.

Please update the install again. It will be the same version number - that's normal.

Just FYI, we are following this thread. Indeed, we need be a better solution to "mods vs cheats problem", not like the current all-or-nothing one.

DCS_updater.exe creates files and folders with default access rights, which means inheriting these from the parent folder (drive). Please check those.

Please, file a support ticket. They will provide you with diagnostic URLs.

Agreed on plaintext storage. We definitely won't implement any vendor-specific auth management. However, we can, for example, add support for reading login/password from lua, where you can load your own code (even a DLL), implementing your specific requirements.

Makes sense. Will add as a feature request.

This brings up a pretty old idea of client-side mission caching. Will add it as a feature request.

Mmm, we can add an option to have login/password in the open. Either via the command line or via a file. I think the file solution is better because it won't expose the data in the process list. What do you think?
