jonss Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 I have v 1.26, v1.5 and v2.0 installed on a separate hdd in the same folder. Everything is working in all the installs and afaik all the modules, missions and terrains are present and correct. When I open v1.2 I am prompted to upgrade it to v1.5. Obviously, I have v1.5 which has been constantly upgrading itself over the last few weeks and the latest version is 1.5.2.48726. If I go through the uninstall procedure for v1.2, will it affect my cherished, working version of v1.5? Jon
dburne Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Your 1.5 install is likely the Open Beta ( what does it say?). 2.0 is the Open Alpha version. DCS 1.2 was updated this week to the current stable release version of 1.5, which at this time is the same version as the Open Beta. DCS 1.2 is no more. The Open Beta will continue to get "beta" updates for testing purposes, before being implemented into the final. Eventually at some point, they will all be merged into one 2.0 install.

jonss Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 Good information, thank you. I am along for the ride. If I recall correctly, one of the updates was a complete version of v1.5, so here goes, running the uninstall for v1.2. Jon
Razor18 Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Don't want to hijack anyone's topic, just kinda tought the title is appropriate to ask here: what if I want to stay with 1.2, but updater always prompts me to update? BTW, is 1.5 stable now, are there any real game changer compared to 1.2 that make it worth updating and take any hurdle? For me it isn't really broke, so I don't want to fix it just for the cause... FLIR issue (described elsewhere here) kinda holds me back... Thanks

You certainly however can keep a working versions of 1.2 by choosing not to update, if you do MP the servers might get scarce... If you want to check it out without updating 1.2, you can always download the 1.5 Open Beta - it currently is at the same version as the new stable release 1.5.

Crowman Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Hi Everybody. I made the mistake of updating 1.2 to 1.5 and its anything but stable, still got the problems of the Beta and now cant go back to 1.2 for a stable game my advice from personal experience dont update 1.2 till 1.5 is well sorted. I didnt mind the bugs on testing but not on whats supposed to be a stable version, keep your versions seperate, any advice on reverting back to 1.2 would be appreciated.

I have had a very good experience with v1.5. EDGE is in a period where there are going to be bugs. I just accept it. I suspect ED are constantly making an effort to improve EDGE and I am totally along for the ride. Granted, I have not flown any missions as yet because I'm learning to fly the A10C but my system which, these days would be somewhere between mid to highish end. I sustain 30 fps and that's fine by me. I should have added, earlier; Graphics settings set to high. Jon Edited January 1, 2016 by jonss
