Iam running my DCS World installation on an SSD and still get these stutters

You do know there is an update roll-up that does a large amount of updates in 1 go ? Or if you want to be even lazier use the wsusoffline util to do it all for you ? You can even slipstream it into a windows 7 iso or usb key I take it like me you do some IT releated work and have to do a lot of windows installs ? So you set up one windows 7 machine put all the updates on it, sysprep it then take an image of it You can then put this image on any machine in 5 mins reboot run a couple of driver updates and you are done ?

7 still gets security updates until 2020

Which worth while new features ?

so the dcs updater knows where your install folder is

yep, the stuttering feature was introduced in dcs 1.5.7 1.5.6 works fine (I have both installed and can choose which to run)

Dunno about you guys, but I am all ready and set for an "Early Access" server

fingers crossed after 7 weeks we can have no crashing MP again

pretty much everyone else apart from ED gives you a free dedicated server for hosting and none of them require you purchasing any DLC to host (not actually playing on the host copy)

copy the dcs world alpha folder from your ssd to your hard drive and edit the registry path

Windows 7 still runs fine on the latest coffee lake based systems I just built a new 370 based system and windows 7 installed ok, mobo driver disk had all I needed

noice

1. Depends on how any programs you install on your OS drive for me I use 100Gb for win7 , rest of my drive is for games 2. Depends on how many installs you have, I have 3 DCS installs works out at about 150G (i think) 3. Depends on how many you pay regularly I have 1TB 100G for OS, rest for games (steam and DCS)

Guess if Raz could comment on if it is a mistake or not ?

Yes this is indeed factually correct

+1 My days of buying early access are over, experience has taugt me to wait and see

Yes I have used various cloud sync systems But of course there is no cloud just someone elses computer/server, and they never go down right ?

not many at all 1.5.7 229 players on one map 2.1.1 92 players across 2 maps

I am getting zero crashes per day with weapons.dll Then again Havoc server is running 2 versions behind current release 1.5.7

-1 , adding another central point of failure I dont think is a good idea

Hope the timeouts get sorted soon, it happens a lot even on a not too highly populated servers

Suggestion: Make the test go a bit quicker ... how ? Could you edit the mission to have 1. Planes already armed ( saves a few mins) 2. Planes be ramp hot start (saves more mins) Or ..... if you are feeling very kind 3. Make some planes armed and air start above the airfields ? That way we can get up in the air quicker and crash the server ?

Maybe this has pointed out a logging or error handling defeciency?

Thanks I will add this for better logging My first post stated I was not looking for the debug build

Need a bigger boat
