Harrysound Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 So I haven't played DCS in a good while, maybe 6 months. I thought I fancied some flying so I strap on my dusty Track IR , boot to Windows and i'm off. Soon enough i'm crashing Ka-50s like a bad boy in single player. Then I want to play with a friend. I realise I have version 1.2.7.xxxxxx. He has 1.2.8.xxxxxx I have the open beta installed which is 1.2.8.xxxxxx but it's still a few versions higher than his so probably wouldn't work online? His version came down from an auto update. My auto updater doesn't update anything when I use the updater from my 1.2.7.xxxxxxx install note the open beta. I think GAH DARN IT!!! I just want to play. Ok maybe i'll just reinstall everything. Then I realise I have to download 6 files from the download page just for DCS world. Then Download the KA50 upgrade version for my Black Shark steam purchase which would also need downloading and installing again from steam. The SU-25 module, the MI8MTV2 module, A10c, A10a, Huey, and the stang. Then i'd have to install them all and probably use yet another bunch of licence keys which I would have to dig out. Then I have to redo all of my keymaps, but wait I could just copy over my current ones but then i'm thinking I have to go search around for the correct folders and files. Then there is my custom missions which would also be the same issue. I just kinda give up :no expression: It's soul destroying.
joey45 Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Just use the Updater. Does everything for you. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Harrysound Posted July 7, 2014 Author Posted July 7, 2014 :doh: Yeah I tried and tried. No updates ZERO Stuck on 1.2.7 If I just give up with that and use the 1.2.8 beta then I have a whole world of setting up to do.
txmtb Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) Trying to find it but there is a way to force an update to a particular version. Can't find the thread it was in though. Still looking.... Found it, lot of reading but it works. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030 Edited July 7, 2014 by txmtb Win 10 64 Pro, MSI Z390 I7-9700K @5ghz Kraken Z63, 32Gb Corsair Dominator, MSI RTX-2070, 1TB NVME 2TB SSD's, TM Warthog, Pro Rudders, OpenTrack w/ IR Clip

ENO Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 In your position I would uninstall ALL of DCSW, including the saved games / DCS folder and start from scratch. You can't just slide your existing controls over into 128 and need to reassign everything anyway. Just grab the torrent file and do it that way. Easy. As mentioned, the module manager takes care of the rest- all your keys are registered to your username... "ENO" Type in anger and you will make the greatest post you will ever regret.
