Update modules to 1.2.14

 

Hi all, how can I update the modules to 1.2.14? On the download-section at the website, the modules are still 1.2.12. I logged into the module manager, but I don't have any options to update from that place.

[NeilWillis]

The modules don't update, the base program DCS World is the item that will update - when the latest version is released, and it should include any updated files for individual modules - if they are needed.

 

To update, just let the auto updater run the first time you start the program, and it should ask you if you want to update. Be sure to uninstall all mods and run a repair before running the update though, and also back-up the input files unless you have them installed in your C:user/*your name*/saved/games/Eagle Dynamics/DCS folder.

 

You can also run the updater program from the Start Button/Eagle Dynamics/DCS folder.

 

However, I haven't been able to update to 1.2.14 except in the Beta version yet, although I have seen on the forum that it is supposed to have been released. Just be patient with that, it might not happen today - or before Xmas, who knows?

[J7G]

I just checked it and it's downloading now. I didn't have the beta, either.

[fox2bravo]

OK, I'll give it another try when I'm back home from work

[NeilWillis]

Nothing here yet, I guess we have it released in batches. Thanks for the info J7G.

[NRG-Vampire]

my beta is already on the 1.2.14 but the normal/public version does not update - still on 1.2.12

forced updater does nothing too :(

 

anyone in the same shoe ? :dunno:

[CHSubZero]

I don't see the torrent for 1.2.14 online... Maybe it is not ready as posted ;-)

[NeilWillis]

Nothing here yet either

okay, i just updated

"update" parameter was missing from my force-update-shortcut

 

so here is the fix:

go to your dcs/bin folder

make a shortcut of dcs_updater.exe

open the shortcut and add "update" parameter like this: "C:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\DCS_updater.exe" update :smilewink:

[Art-J]

My normal install was updated yesterday (although I had to use shortcut from programs menu, 'cause autoupdater was not eager to cooperate ;) ). I wonder why the package still doesn't seem to be available for some folks, it's not like ED uses multiple servers for different countries, do they?

 

BTW, Neil, why do You suggest "uninstalling all mods and running a repair before running the update"? I'm rather new to DCS (playing it since the spring '14), but I never had to follow such a procedure, nor did I feel like I would need to do it.

DCS 1.2.14.35605 Update 1 - Change Log

• Crash when tank kills Reaper after taxiing to hangar is fixed
  
• MiG-29S. Payload marks, T1 and T2 symbols will not move with the targets in TWS2 mode on the HUD
  
• Multiplayer. The expended weapon will not be visible on the client AC for other clients
  
• Su-25T. Restored missing waypoint numbers on the HUD
  
• Ground units. The issue with absent opportunity to assign the target point for some vehicles is fixed
  
• Bf 109 K-4. LODs are corrected
  
• Crash when damaged helicopter tries to land by waypoint action is fixed
  
• The issue with flickering of ground textures that is visible from AC cockpit is fixed
  
• Input settings. The incorrect name of input layer ($aircraft) is fixed

It's nice to see fixing waypoint on HUD and flickering ground bugs.

 

Actually there is also a bug very very loyal to us. We still can't see player names in multiplayer A/C selection page (with multimonitor setup). Hope to see a fix about it as well...

As fast as the updates are being put out now it shouldn't be long?

 

Great job Team. This is the best update progress I have seen put out sense I've been here. Lovin' every minute of it.

 

And again I have noticed a great deal more FPs sense these have been coming so rapid, I do not stutter as before. True for others? could be coinkidink.

[Devrim]

No. Beta for now.

Hi guys,

 

I hope i'm posting in the right place, i thought it would be logical to post in the 1.2.14 discussion since my problem is due to the update.

 

I built a new PC Configuration and re-installed DCS World.

However, when i try to connect to DCS World to download the mods i bought, i have the following error : "Invalid login or password".

 

I tried to change my password and connect again, but the problem is still here.

I can connect to the DCS Website with the same login/password but it is impossible to do it within the game.

 

Do you guys know what the problem could be ?

 

Thanks a lot !

 

Kamaroth.

[Devrim]

I'm very familiar with that problem. Definitely I encountered with it.

 

You can log-in via website, in multiplayer page, but can not in Mod Manager.

But, I don't remember how to solve it. I think via quitting and re-entering or something solved it.

Hey Devrim, try searching for Kuky's multiplayer fix (can't link to it, on my phone at the moment); this fixed the issue for me. If you can't find it I'll provide a link, next time I'm at my desktop.

[Devrim]

Thanks so much Tone. I think I remember that mod, I'll look for it. Thanks. :)

Anyone know if there is or could be a torrent for this update (1.2.14.35734.604) I've downloaded plenty of things on my slow internet connection, but the dcs update... Keeps talking about server capacity.

 

So annoying. :sleep:I'm getting a slow 30kb/s on the updater. It would do that in 1 - 2h, maybe 3 which is fine as you can let it run while doing other stuff.

 

Or with the torrent I could set it to run on my nas as it could take all week if it had to.

[SnowTiger]

I download DCS Updates at 0.7 kb/s !!!

So I know how you feel.

I don't know why it's so darn slow, but it is frustrating.
