Updating to 1.2.11

[LordWizard]

Hi.

I have a problem... I'm stuck with 1.2.8 version and my updater wont start uploading new files.. I tried with ''Update DCS World'' exe file but only checks for update - window pop up for few seconds than disappear... I tried to repair the game and didn't help...

 

Should I uninstall the game, than download new 1.2.11 files? Is that the only way?

 

I have a bad internet, so Im not happy to download 8gigs again :P and I want to fly new Su-27 :)

 

Please :helpsmilie:

 

 

Salute

It happens to me when ever a new update is release. I am not sure but I think is because to many people trying to download at the same time.

[mwd2]

The update is live, now. Go into the start menu / ED / DCS World / Update DCS World

 

DCS World check only once a day after updates!

[Archer7]

I can't update either...

Something happened the first time I launched DCS but the version number is still 33866 and now attempting to update does basically nothing.

[mwd2]

last version is 1.2.11.33866

[cichlidfan]

Starting DCS World will only check for updates if it has been 24hrs since the last check. Windows Start menu entry (Start>All Programs>Eagle Dynamics>DCS World>Update DCS World) does it whenever you run it.

Nope. Try again.

[LordWizard]

Ok, downloading update right now :)

 

Tnx for all replies, Salute

[cichlidfan]

Nope. Try again.

 

I downloaded the complete set of install files for World and all modules already, instead.

[Archer7]

What is the latest version? I have 33866 at the end but Su-27 asks for 33921.

I'm not sure how that's going to help... install everything all over again?

 

Edit: it seems I am updated already (electric switches are in A-10A controls menu)... it's just that the Su-27 module asks for a newer version.

 

Edit2: Ah... it seems I have all the new documentation and missions and everything so no need to install the module as well but it's still strange.

Yep, same here

Yeah this is wierd i downloaded the update after starting DCSW. It appears the download went thru as usual started the game an could'nt connect to servers in MP. Left game checked my game version is still @ 1.2.10.32582 for update that should be 1.11.... Attempted update thru root directory(start menu) ran updater there an same thing.

[DackSter94]

I was having trouble with updating after 1.5 hours or so since update was out. I don't know if it was a coincidence or not but I set my computer clock few hours forward and it worked after that. Still Su-27 won't install on that

 

Just did time forward trick again and it worked once more.

In that C:\Users\?????\AppData\Local\Temp\DCS folder you can find autoupdate log. There i found this line "Skipping update check, only 0.1 hours passed since the last one." i guess thats why it works

Yes, but we're trying to get the updater to work.:)

 

Me neither. Updater just starts DCS in version 1.2.10.

 

 

Edit: Working now I deleted the DCS Folder in C:\Users\????\AppData\Local\Temp and run again the update

 

That works, thanks!

This is new

 

What is this about?

[Vespa]

I got no message or window liket that one....

Did you do a fresh install of v1.2.11?

[Archer7]

Deleting DCS Folder in C:\Users\????\AppData\Local\Temp\DCS and updating again did the trick!

[Art-J]

Nothing like it here either. I was surprised though to have two updates downloading, first a couple of hundreds of MB and the second one, 30-something MB an hour later.

 

Not a fresh install, but updated old one.

[rjetster1]

What is this about?

 

Wish it said completing the DCS 2 World Setup Wizard.

if the installation is completely fresh (include dx and vc library), it could require reboot.

but if only the refresh install of dcs itself, I didn't see this window

[cichlidfan]

Just DCS World.

[Abburo]

Looks like you just reinstalled your video drivers... oops, but they are not requesting restart anymore since some time ago... well... maybe is the Ubuntu version of DCS :D, with worms embedded :)

[outlawal2]

I guess I don't really get the question. NEarly every windows application in existence asks you to reboot when you install the app...

 

Sooo???

(If you had done an update I could understand the question, but you already said was a scratch install so I am not getting your question..)

DCS has never done this, not even a clean install on a new OS, and most modern applications don't do it either.
