the problem is that xaudio fails at the stage where it were not supposed to fail and the engine can't pick a different "driver" at that point. I will rework sound init a bit so this kind of a failure will be recoverable and the engine will just try with another "driver". Also this will allow to set the "driver" manually in the config file. FYI: currently these drivers are just 3 different versions of XAudio.

Hi new syntax is not a secret, but I preferred to not show the new syntax in full in the help dialog. The reason I changed it is that too many users did thing like "DCS_updater update ka50" thus breaking their installs. Hmm, I've just realized that they probably edited their autoupdate.cfg files and the new syntax won't help. The updater does check if the branch name is a valid one. Anyway, the new syntax is [version][@branch], like DCS_updater.exe update @release DCS_updater.exe update @openbeta DCS_updater.exe update @openalpha or DCS_updater.exe update 1.5.1@openbeta

апдейтер 2.6.9.43 должен исправить ситуацию. Проверьте, пожалуйста.

переустанавливать бету не стоит. "зависают" - это насколько долго? если минуты 3 не отвечает - то прибейте процесс и запустите то же самое заново - файлы уже скачаны, они просто установятся и всё будет ок. EDIT: на windows 8.1 этап "shutting the torrent down" иногда почему-то долго работает . дело в сторонней библиотеке, ищем решение. это очень сложно воспроизвести, поэтому поиск проблемы затягивается.

The priorities are: 1) dcs_local_source.txt 2) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World 2 OpenAlpha\Path 3) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Path 4) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Path Each existing path is inspected only once. I.e. if you dcs_local_source.txt points to the release install, then step4 will be skipped because this path matches the one from step1.

Можно, только Path в реестре исправьте - этим апдейтер будет пользоваться чтобы файлы оттуда брать, если у Вас больше одного DCS установлено.

оч странно. приложите autoupdate_log.txt плиз.

Just don't do a repair while an install or update is not complete. retry that operation first or you will lose what's been partially downloaded. Will fix that, but at the moment it is this way.

I'm glad it works for you as it meant to.

.34 brings in a couple of noticeable improvements for the download speed.

6881 но она сама пытается через UPnP и NAT-PMP.

10 restarts seem too much. Please post your autoupdate_log.txt file from the game install dir.

Please, cancel and run the installation again. It will update the updater and possibly pick a faster server.

Чувство вины штука такая, ей лишь бы повод найти))) Это стоило вменяемо до прихода невады и апдейтов по 8гигабайт.

потому что это было ОЧЕНЬ дорого.

Извините, была проблема с одним из серверов, он не выдавал метаданные для торрентов - у Вас качается по http, что есть очень грустно. Прервите и запустите ещё раз, должны торренты подцепиться.

Please, try installing DirectX 9c Runtime, it will install XAudio 2.7, which can be used by DCS if XA 2.8 fails to init.

hmm, same report on the russian side of the forum. looks like a false positive. just for you information: dcs_updater is digitally signed, and everything it downloads from our servers is digitally signed as well. so at least it gets from the servers exactly what we put there. files which are downloaded by torrents are checked even twice - once by the torrent code (because it works this way), and the second time - when they are decompressed.

it would be nice to see your Saved Games\DCS\Logs\dcs.log file.

OMG, what an unfortunate situation... Guys are right that an ISP should not be allowed to do this. Meanwhile, here's a quick solution: Please, put this file right near your autoupdate.cfg in the DCS OpenBeta install folder. This will disable torrents completely. Note for everyone else: I do NOT recommend disabling the torrents unless you have such an unfortunate situation as txmtb got into. We are closely monitoring how things are going and are working hard to give your the best possible experience. autoupdate_dev.cfg

torrents were seriously reworked in 2.6.4.30. please share your experience.
