LcSummers Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Hi, its funny, DCS does not recognize my OS as a 64 bit system. When i installed the A-10C beta many years ago, i had a 32 bit system. But now i have Win 7 Prof 64 OS but the optins menue does not recognize it. Any ideas why? This lead me to alter the optionsdb.lua S!

DCS 1.2.8 wouldn't start on a 32bit system, so it does recognise your OS. Serious uglies Discord 4YA - Project Overlord WW2 Server My DCS Videos

What options menu? ... and what did you change in that .lua file ... to archive what exactly? Edited May 6, 2014 by Flagrum
LcSummers Posted May 6, 2014 Author Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) TX for your answers. Version is 1.2.8 What i mean is: You are at the main menue, then clicking options and there are several settings for your system. The first is Textures Scenes Civ traffic Water and so on. Every time when i get an update, i cant select HIGH for Civ traffic, textures, scenes, HDR, MSAA is only 4x. So i have to alter the optionsDb.lua file manually to get all those points. Fortunately it works very well on all settings set to HIGH but i think DCSW should recognize it automatically but it doesnt. If you look at the lua file you can read "only 64 bit ()" or so. As i have an 64 bit system, it should be done automatically. Hope this is understandable. S! Edited May 6, 2014 by LcSummers

What does the command line look like that is used by the windows shortcut you use? And perhaps post your DCS.log here - at the top there is a line stating what kind of system DCS assumes it is running on. I.e. mine shows: 00000.085 INFO DCS: DCS/1.2.8.27203 (x86_64; Windows/6.1.7601)
LcSummers Posted May 6, 2014 Author Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) I have the "normal" DCS shortcut and the command lines read target "D:\Programs\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\DCS_updater.exe" and "D:\Programs\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World" for the execution. And i am the admin. Edited May 6, 2014 by LcSummers
joey45 Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 DCS is 64bit anyway now... The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

lunaticfringe Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Which version of the GeForce drivers are you using? Given that Windows 7 x64 can handle 32-bit drivers for hardware when required, I'm wondering if something on that end wasn't registered correctly, and that's what is throwing off DCS.
LcSummers Posted May 7, 2014 Author Posted May 7, 2014 Hi, its nice too see that i get some answers.:) I have the beta driver 337.50. I like it runs fine for me. Its not too annoying this "kind" of problem, because i can handle it since yesterday i think. It was frustrating when i didnt know where and what to change manually but i got it. "Given that Windows 7 x64 can handle 32-bit drivers for hardware when required" thats interesting, didnt thought about that but its possible. Maybe when i installed it on the D:\ drive. I looked at DCS its more then 38 Gigs so i dont want to make a new install. Thank you very much to everybody :thumbup:
