Hi, I think I am just going to run a repair, check that I can actually still open DCS, and wait for ED to work their magic, and fix the mess. Thanx for all your help its been a learning curve of note and much appreciated Regards

Skatezilla is not seeing the 2.9.5 version autoupdate_log.txt

ok, will do

I Have done the revision...but DCS will not open. Must I change to Desktop Target to the older bin file...not the bin-mt file ?

A Man after my own heart...epic work buddy

With a lot of help from chaps I finally figured how to do this, quickly and safely. Its a handy procedure to know for as and when we have an update that goes very wrong. Have a look on the Thread about a big loss of performance as well. There is more Info.

Holey Moley...its working !, thanx so much This was my closest option, Windows Power Shell, I Hope this will help other guys, at least we can run servers and home grown missions again , and then have this procedure for as and when ED does this to us again in the future.

I dont get an Open in Terminal option ?

Thank you, will try now

I have been trying the Terminal option a lot keep getting , " not a file path", tried making sure its asking in the right drive...mine is F, just not winning, I would sell a Kidney for a connection onto Anydesk When I use the Release Branch option, I get , version is not available. At my wits end, lolol

I get these 2 responces, ...feels like I am missing something silly !

Thanx a lot for the details. For me I keep getting the Notification that the version is Not Available...consider updating I also tried SZS DCS Updater, with the same results, version is not available.

Trying to use it...puzzling, lolol

Can someone please post a step for step procedure on exactly how to go back to 2.9.5.55981 I have looked at previous threads on this and they just dont work or make sence to me Pretend I am almost PC illiterate, just so I dont create more carnage. The short video, shows how at around the same time in a mission, the stuttering and FPS has increased . Prior to the last 2 upgrades at this point in the mission I would get tiny spikes and stutters, and an almost steady 100 to 110 FPS. What does restore the FPS and reduce the stutters, is the Time frame...1/2 is much better, 1/4 is good, and 1/8th is perfect. Something new has hurt my systems ability to cope with the load of DCS, and also Chaps with more updated CPUs and GPUs, so the drop is not Rig specific. Thanx 20240904_141431[1].mp4

I have gone from Bomber missions of 24 plus escorts....in total around 40 aircraft airborne with 1000 + units, do 20 aircraft airborne and 300 ground units....this is NOT PROGRESS from ED

Is that all we need to do ? Please give us a step for step....where is the bin directory ? Thank you so much ...definately going back

This is what ED need to give us...a Safe and tested...Step by Step procedure to roll back to 2.9.5, or Do it for all of us the next time they touch anything. Then BETA test the hell out of the latest patches ,figure out what the heck went wrong...fix it, then we can move forward. I dont care about pretty pictures....Because for me the Sim is BUSTED

ED MUST enable a roll back function on the LOAD page. It should not be up to us to have to puzzle for days to try and recover a broken Sim. Or the other option is to bring back OPEN BETA and STABLE. what ever they do, this mess needs fixing, for me DCS is in the Bin until it becomes playable again.

Exactly, Improving DCS by going BACKWARDS !!! in the old single threads...I never saw this, only when speeding up time in the ME

I have spent days testing Missions, and agree, its 100 % related to the Ground unit count. These are a summary of my tests results. NOTE, Prior to these updates the mission ran very well with the 1024 Ground units....and Prior to that and the even older version of DCS, with over 1200 Ground units. AIRCRAFT VEHICLES QUALITY 0 = BAD : 5 = GOOD 131 0 5 12 1024 0 131 249 5 131 60 3 12 1213 2 51 1126 0 51 508 2 51 301 3 51 213 4 51 126 5 In Summary, for my system and the same mission, had to cut 1000 Ground units to run it with the quality I could before the " Update" !! i7 8700K 2080Ti 64 GB

This is exactly what I have seen, all the missions I could pre Mod run easily on my system, which doubles as a server I have had to reduce the Ground units and airborne AI by 50% + and still getting stutters I can do the same

I have done countless hours of testing over the last 10 days to try and understand why missions I made from a few weeks ago to a few years ago are all basically UNFLYABLE. For me I am 1 small nudge from stepping away altogether. ED just does not GET IT !!! the CORE is BROKEN

Thats exactly where I am at for now....just that the going back seems dangerous unless you really know what to do

Have you resolved this issue ? I might need to move to 11 when I upgrade to an new CPU.Dont want to fix one issue and break one !

I think you are seeing exactly what the problem is...and thats what mission builders and servers are all experiencing
