The DCS Updater / Launcher GUI Utility Version 2.0 (2023+)


Recommended Posts

One thing I find strange is that the Utility doesn't always reflect the 'Latest Versions Available' correctly. For example, today, it is still showing 26552 as the latest Release Version.

Because it pulls the version numbers from my server which doesnt update immediately, it should update by this afternoon EST.

New Version Released in Update Server and Attached to First Post.

 

Changelog for v2.10.2019.1 / 1.1.0.1019:

-Added Enemy Within v3.0 Assets

-Added Change Localization Options to Adv. Update Options Screen

-Added Custom DCS Launch Scripts (WIP)

-Cleaned up some Network Code

-Added Exception Catch to Versions Refresh

-Updated Tab Indexes

-Adjustments to Application Settings Screen

-Adjustments to minimizing and restoring behavior

-Fixed Code for Scanning User path to TeamSpeak Client

-Adjusted Startup Build Code and added Exception, if DCSPath Changed App No Longer Locks w/ Exception.

 

There are a few things I'm looking to add, but might not make next public version.

 

Right now Custom Launch Scripts is a Large Text Box, you type or paste the script like you would when making a .bat file.

 

The App when Launching DCS will Generate a .bat file from the text box and save in /Saved Games/DCS Updater Utility Folder, it will be overwritten everytime you launch DCS.

 

Contents of textbox will save when app is closed.

 

for example, if you wanted notepad and calculator to open before DCS when launching DCS then you'd paste:

start c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe
start c:\windows\system32\calc.exe

I get a .NET error message when trying to run the latest update. If I elect to continue, the updater hangs with the second message.

 

Any ideas?

is the system tray menu available?

 

also, on my end it takes about 30 seconds to show up the last week or so, likely due to script pinging servers.

I found if I "Maximize" the icon, it pops up as it should. Why would it need that to be done? After maximizing, the app is at "Idle" and nothing can be clicked open.

Theres a System Tray Menu Option to restore, that sets position to 0,0 and maximizes.

 

There might be an old or corrupted settings string in the user.settings file. that was starting the app off the screen.

Apologies if this has been answered already... but this is a n 82 page thread.

 

 

How can I set different graphics settings for VR and non-VR launch?

 

Watch Skate's video on the utility on the first page. Basically, when you first install, the utility takes a copy of your existing settings and puts it in the presets which show on the drop down list.

Select each one in turn and launch DCS, make your changes and then you will have different setting and builds to choose from each time. Change the names from the default so that you know which is which!

I have 2 builds - stable and open beta - and 4 presets Stable 2D, Stable VR, Open Beta 2D and Open Beta VR.

Any reason mine is not updating to 3.06.2019. I have 2.10.2019. When I tell it to check for latest application, it states the NEWEST build is 3.06 but that the Current build id is 2.10.2019.

 

DO I need to just do a manual update?

Yes, the auto update didn't work for me either. I just did it manually.
