Jazz_44 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Hi all, I wanted to know what is the best process to re-install DCS 2.0.4. Since the last update it runs into low memory issues that I haven't experienced before. These errors cause the game to crash. Anyway, what is the best approach to reinstall? Do I need to deactivate my modules first? What about my config profiles for all the planes? I would hate to remap all the keys. Thanks in advance for the help.

HiJack Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Don't deactivate anything. Rename the DCS App folder. Rename the DCS SavedGames folder. Reinstall from the webinstall.exe file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiJack Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 After you have installed the base DCS World 2.0 app you can copy back the terrain folder containing Nevada. Saves a lot of download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz_44 Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 Thanks HiJack, Can you please give instructions for dummies? The DCS app folder is the entire DCS World 2 folder? Also, where is the SavedGame folder? By keeping some of the "old" stuff, do I ensure a clean and proper re-installation, so the issue I'm experiencing now won't repeat itself?

Jazz_44 Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 Anyone? Perhaps you can reference me to a reinstallation guide? I just want a fresh start with DCS 2.0, while I can still retain my joystick profiles, per plane. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted December 20, 2016 ED Team Share Posted December 20, 2016 Hi if you are having low memory problems what is your system spec and is your page file set to system managed? We recommend system managed if you want to do a fresh install, all of your key bindings are in the saved games DCS.openalpha folder, so as long as it is left alone they are safe. Just go ahead and delete your dcs openalpha root folder and reinstall using the latest we installer https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/alpha/ Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Jazz_44 Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 Thanks Bignewy. I run an Intel i7 4790K CPU, 16GB RAM and a GTX 1070. I'm pretty sure the page file is managed by the OS. Not sure why DCS 2.0 is crashing when I load "large" missions, but it does (Low memory error message). DCS 1.5 works without issues, no matter which mission I load. I will try to do the reinstallation as you described. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazz_44 Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 Thanks Razo+r, and Bignewy. My page file wasn't set to auto managed. Once set I can run DCS 2.0.4 without any low memory issues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
