What do we do with version 1.5.2. Beta now....

[fitness88]

What do we do with version 1.5.2. Beta that we've been using now that there will be a separate install of the official release version that came out today?

Do we delete it?

Also I didn't find any detail info on the official release. Is there a list of improvements over the 1.5.2 Beta?

 

Thank you.

[BIGNEWY]

if you want to continue to help with the beta test keep it, if not remove it.

 

but why not keep both so you can check out the new stuff when it arrives in beta?

They are identical.

[Silver_Dragon]

actually has identical, but new version commit to test them before release.

[NineLine]

Yup, Open Beta will eventually get a new version, so if you have the space and that desire to test, keep it.

Also, keeping the beta might expedite the installation of updates to the release version if the existing beta update is already updated with new material. When I updated my release version to 1.5 it detected my updated beta 1.5 and just copied files over to my 1.2 install - everything was already downloaded for my 1.5beta.

I'd assume the 1.5 beta will get updated to e.g. 2.0 beta in the not so distant future and it will copy the files from 2.0 Alpha (as did the 1.52 release) so technically 1.5 beta could be uninstalled now and then reinstalled anew when the 2.0 goes to beta.

Exactly, you read my mind there brother, keeping it! :thumbup:

I deleted the open beta as I thought the 2.0 Alpha would eventually become the new beta?

 

So now I have a fresh install of 1.5 open and 2.0 alpha. If I run with this am I going to miss out on any updates to 1.5.? I thought the whole point in making 1.5 the full release is so ED can concentrate on getting 2.0 to full release?

 

I'm down to 54.9 GB free on my SSD now so not sure if I have room for 3 installs. I just about managed it when 1.2 was full release as it was a smaller size file, but to have 3 installs (1.5 release, 1.5 beta and 2.0 alpha) may push me over the SSD edge!!!

 

Having said that I would like to continue to participate in the beta branch if any further large updates are planned ??

We have no idea right now, but its always possible we will see 1.5.X before 2.0 moves to beta, so yes, its possible you could miss out, but you can always force your main install to update to open beta if you wanted...

I went and ran Updater on my 1.5beta version first and it turned that into 1.5.2 release version.

So now I have 3 installs still 1.2, 1.5.2 and 2.0a

[fitness88]

Wow that was all very interesting, thank you! Not being able to use 2.0 yet I think I'll stay with 1.5 Beta. My thinking is that the new stuff will come there first as previously mentioned.

What about those who may still prefer flying v.1.2, do they have to update?

Nobody ever 'has' to update, but if you play MP then it will be almost mandatory at some point. Otherwise, it is possible to keep as many old versions active as you wish, and your disk space will allow.

So when 1.2 copies file from 1.5, does it include modules, installed missions and campaigns and the logbook?

It includes all DLC, such as aircraft, campaigns and terrains, but no personal files like logbook and settings. The personal stuff is kept in another folder: C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS

 

Edit: Just to be clear. The DLC will only be copied if they are installed on both versions. If it's not installed on the version you are updating, but it is installed on the other, then it will copy when you click install in the module manager, but it will not automatically install it for you during the updating.

I keep all 3 but you must pay attention to MiG21 lic as it has a bug and consumes 1 lic when u change versions.....

 

I built this rig for dcs, if i need 5 copies then i will have those 5 installed, or whatever it needs ;)
