1.5.4 Release, Open Beta And Weekend News Update (07/08/2016)

SkateZilla · July 8, 2016

I don't want to sound pessimistic but I'm starting to lose hope that ED will make this game better. I seems like every new version that comes out is worse than the last as far as fps. They say they got all the bugs fixed in this version and released it to the public today but the forum is riddled with posts about 1.5.4 being broken.

I hope next time I startup DCS world I have an option NOT to update to 1.5.4. Can someone tell me how I can keep it from updating I don't want what I have to get worse.

Not updating option is an obvious Button on the update prompt.

Im not re producing the track IR Face in the HUD problem here, nor the offset positions.

This received ALOT of attention. Before you go criticizing testers.

I wasn't criticizing anyone, I'm sure the testers are working at the best of their ability. Still, issues are bleeding through for a lot of people, hence something wrong is happening somewhere down the line.

EDIT: Look, I'm sorry, as a programmer myself I have a lot of respect for you guys, testers and devs. It's just I came home after a long day hoping to fly around, and ended up fighting and dealing with bugs and bug reports instead.

What are your specs? You're gonna see a different regardless.

1.5.3 MiG-29A = 6,402 Polygons
1.5.4 MiG-29A = 441,153 Polygons

WHY!?!?!?!? Skate, please tell me the logic behind increasing the poly count of a model SO much when the game engine is only using half of most people's GPU to render the model and not running the main CPU core at 100% either??

I wish you would look at my thread about this with the videos I showed running MSI afterburner proving it. Unless 1.5.4 is going to run a gpu at 99% like most other games, how could such a huge increase in polys do anything but hurt the performance of the game... especially in VR where every little FPS matters?

I'm not an expert in modeling, but nowadays I really don't think 400.000 polygons are that many.

Having played around with Maya myself, I'm actually surprised they managed such a good looking aircraft with only 6000.

500K is AvG for 2010 3D Models.

the old MiG 29 Model was from Lock On, very very old.

As for the GPU usage, that issue is a draw command overflow issue not a polygon rendering issue.

Well that makes sense, long over due on that model.

I would really appreciate it if you could pop over to my thread about performance and help us with this draw command thing when you have a moment. I really want to get some answers to questions there and hopefully a solution. Thanks

Power lines disappeared for me. Flying under the power lines was one of my favorite things to do in DCS, but for some reason after update they became not visible. Does anybody else have this?

Yea, gone for me too.

PowerLines and fences etc, already reported.

The Track IR changes are pretty horrible

scotchegg · July 8, 2016

Interesting to see the Mig29A update. Does this mean a standalone release is closer?

Barao · July 8, 2016

I have a doubt: I don't have VR Headset, now we have a new option about this kind of equipment and for default the option "enable virtual reality headset" is set, I need to disable this.

Pretty sure it doesn't affect anything if you don't have a VR headset. Don't worry about it.

I saw that as well and disabled mine first thing.

Just like FFB, it should not be enabled by default in the first place.

Barao · July 8, 2016

Thanks:thumbup:

SkateZilla · July 8, 2016

If a Supported Devices is not Detected during boot up, then the Value has no Effect, so it's not enabled.

Barao · July 9, 2016

If a Supported Devices is not Detected during boot up, then the Value has no Effect, so it's not enabled.

But it is checked, VR.

I saw problems (I have logs):

1) TrackIR was horrible if I enable full screen (Alt Enter) with nvidia Adaptive (Half Refresh Rate 1/2) Vsync

2) TrackIR center makes the vision get up

I also saw that the Su-25T flies more smoothly now.

I don't have yet the update on my system. I'm still on 1.5.3 but the dcs updater is skipping the update like if there was no current update. Any help would be appreciated. Thk

hi and welcome to the forum.

if you look in your dcs directory you will find a file called autoupdate_log.txt

attach it here it will give us some clues

Whirley · July 9, 2016

Like the new looks of the menus and all the nice improvements to the game.

Awesome work, thanks to everyone involved!

Thanks,

Strange, last update was 2016-05-27 from your log.

Are you using the update shortcut from your windows start menu\programmes\eagle dynamics ?

Things to try

make sure dcs has admin rights

add dcs to your anti virus exclusion / whitelist ( which antivirus are you using ? )

download and replace your updater here at the bottom of the page in case it has become corrupted

Ok, so i'm not using the update shortcut from the windows start menu but directly from the DCS directory. DCS has the admin rights like also the updater. For the antivirus, i'm using the internal Windows Defender. I added DCS to the exclusions but it make the same thing. I replaced the updater and same thing.

SOLVED!

i found the solution by reading this thread :. I think it could solve some update issues. You only need to force the updater to update to the last version by doing a command prompt as mentioned in the thread. Thank you BIGNEWY to spending time with me and thank you ED for this amazing flight sim. Wish you all the best !
