SkateZilla Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 Whenever I press the Dedicated Server Mode button I get the following error message ... any idea why I'm having this problem?

Thanks, C.T.Blankenship if the files are missing, then the updater should automatically disable the buttons, i dont know what order you're doing things to cause it to scan, detect DCS.exe then exception crash when you tell it to launch dedicated server since the DCS.exe is clearly there are detected. the log doesnt save when there's an exception crash so I need to change that too. But if you set a build, and launch DCS, then DCS should be able to launch a dedicated server as well, as it's simply DCS w/ Arguments. I will add Exception Catch around all the DCS Functions just to be safe now. But it sounds like the File is There, but when you launch Ded. Serv its not there, Make sure your Virus Scan is not picking it up and blocking it.

CTBlankenship Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 You are making the assumption that I can select a build, I cannot ... the button is grayed out. This OpenBeta installation of DCS is on a machine that is a Dedicated Server. DCS itself is not installed. However, the DCS.EXE is still located in the C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta Server\bin directory. So, that piece of information might help. I tried to select the \bin subdirectory be then the square turns red instead of green. The label on the Home page says "DCS STATUS: DCS WORLD RUNNING" I hope we get this fixed ... I really need it. Thanks so much for your help and insight ...

Scorch Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Hello all. Please forgive me for failing to find it. I'm guessing it's in the forum and/or YouTube, I just failed to find it. I'm new to the GUI updater. I want to create a few different builds however, I don't understand how. Do I need multiple installs of DCS and my purchased content? Does the licensing allow for this? How do I set this up? Is it as simple as creating a separate directory and installing as if it were a new single install and point the updater to each .exe? Where would build #2, for example, create a saved games folder given the original exists on drive C: in the default location for example? Please forgive my failing to find the answer myself. I did try. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeeSPIKE Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 A suuggestion and an issue. My suggestion is forum related and not about the app itself. When you release the next update, could you lock this thread and start a fresh one? That way, any issues that come up with the new are not buried under the 100+ pages of previous messages? Which relates to my issue. After reading about 50 pages of messages (from the front and the back) I do not see that anyone else has noticed this. When I start the GUI and then start DCS, everything is fine. However, when I close DCS and come back to the GUI, none of the Launch buttons will work. I have to restart the GUI for it to work again. Thanks for doing this. I use this every time I start DCS and I really do like the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lange_666 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Do I need multiple installs of DCS and my purchased content?Just copy/paste your current install to a new location. Does the licensing allow for this?Yes How do I set this up? Is it as simple as creating a separate directory and installing as if it were a new single install and point the updater to each .exe?Yes, installing and redownloading is in fact not needed, just copy/past your first installation to the new location. Where would build #2, for example, create a saved games folder given the original exists on drive C: in the default location for example?It will reside in the Saved Games folder under a second name like DCS World Beta.

MrScott Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) Guys, I have not been in DCS for sometime now but the last time I was in I accessed it via this utility. Now when I select the utility Windows brings up a Notification box and it then disappears from the screen. Task manager show it is running but nothing I do gets me access to it. What is going on? I had changed my displays from 4K to 1080 P about a month ago to test another program and when I launched DCS from Skatezillas's Updater utility, the Screen was not accessible be because it has last been run in 4K so, I changed the Windows displays back to 4K and now I can run The updater, and when I select DCS world I get 2.5.5 which I have but I was running the latest 2.5.6 beta and cannot find it. Nothing has been deleted from my PC . I used THIS UPDATER UTILITY to manage all my DCS stuff and now I cannot access it. HELP! I found 2.5.5 in C:\DCS and it launches without sound and 2.5.6 in C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta but the EXE. is missing. (I don't understand) I found DCS under the BIN folder and can launch it that way but I would really like to have my Skate Zilla Utility back. Any help would be much appreacited.

imacken Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Is it possible to have different names for the presets on different builds? I don't think so, but it would be great. For example, I have 2 builds - Stable and OB - and therefore there are 8 presets available - 4 in each relevant Saved Game folder. However, the 4 presets in each build have to have the same name as the name slots in the utility are not unique to each build.

imacken Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Thanks Skate. I hope ED will allow the preseets to be named soon, rather than Custom 1 etc. At the moment, it is horribly clunky. If I want to switch between 2D and VR, I just select the preset in your utility and hit launch. Simple. Currently, AFAICS, to do the same within DCS, I would have to load DCS, go to Settings, select the preset, DCS would have to restart and all the hassle involing WMR and SteamVR. It is horrible! Please don't abandon presets in your utility.
