Installing 2 or 3 dcs world versions

[gazmonalpha]

Hi,

 

i want to install 1 module per install of dcs world, I have 4 purchased modules so can I install dcs 4 times e.g..

 

An install just for A10-C

An install for ka-50 etc..

 

How do I do this please?? I think I need to modify the saved game names is this correct?

 

I am trying to narrow down some conflicts and game errors I'm getting by keeping to single modules per install

For multi installations of DCS you have just to copy/paste one installation and rename the new one, make shorcut to launch every one. If you want to have several folders in "Saved Games" you have just to create a file text in DCS World (the copy), name it "dcs_variant" and write for example "World_A-10C". Launch DCS and go in options, save modifications, a "DCS.World_A-10C" will be create in "Saved Games" with your options for each installation :smilewink:

Morpheus is right, but it helps to understand what happens etc.

 

May I ask, why you want multiple installs for the modules?

 

It does make sense for different versions of the Sim, but as the modules are licensed and activated per machine/PC what is the benefit of having 3 or 4 installs with modules that can reside in different versions without issue?

Installing 2 or 3 dcs world versions

 

I have been having major problems getting the game to run in its standard form( all my modules installed in one DCS install )

 

It was working fine but I started to get 'modified dll file' (asynchnet.dll) errors and the game just would not start

 

So I have done separate installs and loaded only 1 module per install

 

Done this to see what difference it makes and at moment I can play, so I just don't know what conflict in my system was causing dll errors

To make this work like a charm....get SkateZilla's DCS_Updater_tool to manage all of your installs and start them as you wish.
