Best way to update?

[keithb]

Hi

Coming back to DCS, have v1.2.5 but the update to 1.2.7 was going to take many hours so I cancelled it.

 

Would it be best to download the full 1.2.7 (twice the size of the update but maybe more efficient?)?

Or is the 1.2.8 beta due out within a week or two?

 

Thanks

Keith

you can try to download 1.2.7 via torrent..you`ll see if it is faster.. and 1.2.8. na..I would say 2-3 Weeks (for the final release..the beta may be available earlier)

I find downloading a full install faster than using the updater if you are making that large of a jump in versions (even without using torrent).

Thanks, will try the torrent.

What happens with activated modules if I install a full new version?

Do they stay activated or should I deactivate first?

Cheers

The modules stay activated.

You only have to deactivate modules when you are changing your hardware or install a new OS.

Sometimes it helps if you shut the download down and restart it. The server assignment is dynamic and it seems that at times it gives you a server that's slow for your location or currently bogged down by users.
