The DCS Updater / Launcher GUI Utility Version 2.0 (2023+)


Recommended Posts

I will look into an OXR method, as rewriting core is still ongoing, 


As of Right now, Simple Launch button using profile that has VR Enabled (thus not using VR ON/ VR OFF/ STEAMVR variables) should allow DCS to launch with OpenXR.

I know its kind of an ignorant question to ask, but is there a timeline to the next release, skate? Looking forward to the next iteration.

My experience shows that profiles (with VR enabled in DCS settings) launch with Simple LAunch button always launch with Oculus api. In addition the VR ON is always using on profile regardless of the option selected. I may use something wrong but that's what I have experienced. 
NOTE: In order to use OpenXR with Oculus you need SteamVR api enabled and Opencomposite

yes, that's correct, I am deep diving into OpenXR to come up with ideas for solutions.

Hi...

As of yesterday my antivirus (kaspersky) flags the "DCS Updater Utility.exe" as contaminated by VHO:Trojan-Spy.MSIL.Convagent.gen.

Any input?

Thanks in advance.

Had the same happen to me last weekend. I've marked application as trusted in Kaspersky to allow it to run. But yes, would be nice if developer looks into this.

So I updated to the latest version of the Launcher and now all my presets are broken, my VR no longer works. Anyone got issues getting WMR OpenXR to work using current version of Skatezilla's launcher?

Pretty disappointed that updating from an old version to this version broke everything.

Never happened to me, updated quite a few times already.
Re-setting it up doesn't take that long though.

Is there a way to update the app to add all the modules that have come out recently? AH64D, South Atlantic etc etc.

Normally I Update the app as soon as possible after a new release,
As stated a few pages back, the app is undergoing an extensive re-write, what started as 1 re-write has expanded into what I've started this week as the forth re-write, due to a few things overlooked in the new code, and windows updated to remove some things previously used.

I will post a news update as soon as I am comfortable with the state of things.

To add fuel to a fire, My employer recently re-structured, and decided to discontinue my position despite it being a vital position (and despite the work I put into it), that being said, I was able to transfer to another department to continue working, but the main issue now is gas, as it's more travelling as my home base office is no longer right across the street, but 20 minutes and 2 tolls away.

I can tell you stories about norton and kaspersky, their software will take 1 line of code and flag it as a false positive.

If the App is being flagged, delete it and re-download it, but the EXE was likely injected by another.

Apologise if this has already been asked, I'm wondering if there's a good way of solving the following

  • I run a dedicated server on my PC for MP missions with friends
  • In DCS Update / Launcher GUI Utility I have 2 builds, my Game build, and the Dedicated server build
  • PROBLEM - when running the dedicated server, I cannot launch my Game build from the utility (which is a problem because I often switch the Presets)

Is there any good way to have the utility able to launch a second build if the first is a dedicated server? 

My work around is to launch the game first, and then launch the server from the shortcut outside of the utility.

Launching in Dedicated Server Mode shouldnt lock the Launch buttons.
-Set Dedicated Server options in the Ded. Server section, including the Folder Name.
-Launch using the Launch DSM Button, wait for it to load then Launch your DCS.

However, hitting the refresh button next to "Your DCS Builds" should unlock them.

Hands Down - My most used application for DCS. Its wonderful

 

Request for further enhancement....

Exernal applications - option to either add a launch parameter to the URL or ability to link to URL's including launch parameters - like fx. Discord which i can not get to work with it right now.

C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Discord\Update.exe --processStart Discord.exe

Love it!, as I'm re-writing the core from scratch, external apps was going to get a re-work, and this will be a simple yet powerful addition!

Actually, nevermind, deleting the other directory "Skatezilla Simulations" allowed it to launch.

Sorry, yeah, at some point I switched the publisher folder name for the settings.

Even now, the new one will use a new folder as well.

Is there any reason the utility always throws me a NewtonSoft dll error? I basically have to redownload it every time. It works once, then next reboot Netwonsoft error.

is the Newtonsoft.Json.dll in the same folder?

It is

attach the error read out.
the newtonsoft DLL is just there for JSON Parsing of the file to read which branch the install is,
if it's crashing then it's likely being flagged and quarantined by Anti-Virus, or there's a path issue with the build on launch.
