DCS World Won't Update to 1.2.8

[pdmarsh]

I successfully updated DCS World from 1.2.7 to 1.2.8 on one PC, but not on another. On the second PC, the update appeared to have occurred, but the main menu page still shows 1.2.7. However, some modules show 1.2.8 while others still show 1.2.7. I can't do repair or update. The install thinks it's at 1.2.8, but it isn't.

 

Any idea as to how I can get my install to update?

 

Thanks,

Paul

I have been trying a number of things to get the update to take. I have tried using the updater from the DOS prompt, but no luck. I used the updater from DOS to take my install back to 1.2.7. The notice said 1.2.7 installed. As soon as I opened DCS World it said an update was available and I let it do the update. The notice then said 1.2.8 successfully installed, but it actually did not. I was right back where I started.

 

Any help will be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Paul

rename your "DCS World\autoupdate.dat" and "autoupdate_log.txt"..restart..what happens then?!

I got the problem, too. OpenBeta updated to 1.2.8 without any problem, but 1.2.7 only update some parts.

The best way is to reinstall the whole game. And re-name DCS folder under C:\Users\<user>\Saved Games\DCS to DCS-1.2.7.

 

I know it is a lot to download, but it works!

Thanks for the replies. I ended up simply uninstalling 1.2.7 and installed 1.2.8 from scratch. All seems well now. It appears most if not all of my personal settings were retained in my "Saved Games" folders. No idea what went wrong, but I guess this happens occasionally.

 

Thanks again,
