v2tec Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 All 3 versions are separate, some of us run all three I guess multiplayers are also splitted into these three versions. That explains why some online servers are almost empty. Any idea what is the best (stable and most players) version for multiplayer? Thx for the explainations so far - would be nice to find some hints in the download description. ________________________ ________ ______ ___ __ _ Win10 64 Pro, i7-6800K 3.4Ghz, 32 GB (DDR4), Asus Aorus 1080 TI WF, TrackIR 5 / RIFT, Thrustmaster Warthog, Fanatec Pedals, 55" oled 4k TV, Modules:A10C, KA-50, Huey, AV-8B, FA-18, F-16, NTTR, Persian Gulf _ __ ___ ____ _____ ______ _______ ____________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkateZilla Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Correct, 2.0 ALPHA Requires Purchase of NTTR Terrain, Caucasus is not included in 2.0 at the moment.

Worrazen Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) So If I piece the dots from the several threads together, the 1.5 and 2.0 Merge will happen when the Caucasus map is converted to this T-4 terrain engine ? rather than "soon" as some people hope for. I am for improving the old map, I'm not in a hurry, so I don't agree with the people who are so eager to merge, I rather see the devs take their time and do some improvements to the old map before including it into the 2.0, cause then the 2.0 will mean something in practise and be a real improvement in major areas, rather than just a soulsess tag-on, otherwise it would just be an 1.5 map inside a 2.0 moniker. I do agree with the versioning choices back then, I do agree 1.5 was picked for the intermediate, and that the NTTR and new engine and DX11 and all the stuff get's 2.0 so the numbers don't go forward so much. I totally disagree with the BS versioning of google chrome and firefox, what, that is at 45.0 now .., what a college-kid trendy gimmick imo. Thank you Eagle Dynamics.

ANGST Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I have been off doing other things until the 1.5/2.0 Merge (other then casual flying around Nevada some) I think this thread answers one question , I have 1.5 installed and 2.0 Alpha . Eventually my 1.5 will get "upgraded" to 2.0.x GA , and I will delete my 2.0 Alpha , correct ? Second question, and this is not a nag , Has ED given and idea of when the merge will occur (how much longer ?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sobek Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I am for improving the old map Officially, there's been no mention of any improvements coming from the move from T3 to T4 for the caucasus map.

Multiplayer servers are by version, not branch. That is, currently, Open beta servers are compatible with Release servers, because both are currently the same version number. If/when Open beta gets patched in advance of Release, servers will not be compatible until Release catches up. 2nd French Fighter Squadron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is, currently, Open beta servers are compatible with Release servers, because both are currently the same version number. If/when Open beta gets patched in advance of Release, servers will not be compatible until Release catches up. I have all 3 versions installed, but I'm too lazy to set up my controls in 1.5 stable, so I just run 1.5 beta, both are exactly the same at the moment. I hardly play 2.0 since I'm primarily a mig-21 driver, and the NTTR map is flat... very... flat... When the 1.5 stable and beta are different versions, the multiplayer community is often split between them and it makes it hard to find servers with people on them in either version, in the hours I play.

Flagrum Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 That will be waaaaaaaay down the road aways when that occurs. Why did they have to fix what wasn't broken? 1.2.16 used to be great. Now, everything is just mediocre. Time for me to move on to another sim. :mad: ... wat? uhm, i mean, seriously ... WAT? Anyhow, you still can revert back to 1.2.x if you want. Iirc SkateZilla made somewhere a posting describing exactly how to do that. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneBlueSky Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I hardly play 2.0 since I'm primarily a mig-21 driver, and the NTTR map is flat... very... flat... There are a few fun spots to zip around in, but largely it feels the same for me. Glad I bought it and support the development of DCS even if I would never use it though, as other things down the road I know I'll use. As for controls though, you know you can load them into 1.5 stable right? I mean, if you ever find yourself needing to use it. I'm getting MUCH better performance on 1.5 and 2.0 than I ever did on 1.2. Same. Fully maxed out on everything visually (except that Bokeh nonsense) my frames jumped massively on 1.5 and 2.0.

We have a release version We have an Open Beta version for that release And we have an Alpha of the new map system and NTTR.

lazduc Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 What is this? DCS 1.5.3.51218 goes to public with upper changelog. Does this mean this is the released version? And this will be joined with 2.0.xx? And will this include the new engine with support for SLI? :cry: :D :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobek Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 1.5 already encompasses the new engine. Any build that contains Nevada *and* Caucasus will most likely have a version number >= 2.0.

Vulture 27 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 2.0 & 1.5 I had 1.5 on my computer before and wanted Nevada Red Flag. Trioed downloading 2.0 Alpha and it wouldn't allow me to load 2.0 until I removed 1.5. I downloaded 1.5 again, bu haven't unzipped it because it says it is already loaded on my computer meaning 2.0. So question is how are you having 1.5 and 2.0 on your computer at the same time? Are you placing one into a different directory, because mine keeps trying to place in same directory. I did a browse and tried loading that way and noting, so what would be a good path to load 1.5 back on my system without removing 2.0?

Bucic Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I got the latest 1.5 OB and wanted to switch to release.

Chief1942 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Just thinking back a few of months ago when we were all waiting for the NTTR map. Was just flying the A-10C CAS quick mission and returned to Nellis. I gotta say, every time I look around outside the pit, I am so amazed at what ED has given us. I been at this flight sim stuff since the mid -90's and I would never have imagined it would evolve to the point it has. I suppose it will only get better from here .

Just amazing what we've got. A better online experience from the server end would really help bring it together. Hopefully the 'networking improvements' from the latest update are leading in that direction.
