Cobra847 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Hi Everyone! We're all sort of silent because it's been super crunch time for the entire team. Thank you for all of your enthused discussions and support however! We have been working on a final release candidate for Friday. With that comes an important logistical note: Friday's patch will be 1.5.6, which means that the initial Viggen release will be on the new 1.5.6 Open Beta branch, NOT on the current stable 1.5.5 While our lead platform has been 1.5.5, that version of DCS World will not be updated. Stay tuned for more info before Friday!

firmek Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 But why and how does one even get into that branch o_O Get the "DCS World 1.5 Early Access" from here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/ The download should not take too much time if another version is already installed as the installer is quite smart and will copy a lot of the files. Another point is that the 1.5 beta is really usually stable. IMO there is not a lot of reasons to stick to 1.5. Good Luck with the release Leatherneck !!!

Morgue Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Since it's hitting 1.5.6 beta it should be 2.0 also, right? Sure hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelevra9987 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Mind telling us how? No problem. I created myself a Shortcut to the Desktop of the dcs_updater.exe Then Right Click -> Properties and you should see something like this: Here you just add at the "Target" following text: "update 1.5" like you can see in this screenshot: That will set the Updater to allways look for the newest Version of DCS with 1.5 in the beginning and doesn't care if it is Stable or Open Beta. Hope that helps even if my Windows are in German.

sea2sky Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Why don't you guys use Skate's GUI Updater? You can switch from stable to OpenBeta with 1 click! sure, you can switch between versions, not a problem. It just diminishes the entire release announcement. I mean, the date was set, and everyone who payed their bucks expects it to be fully available. These kind of delays would be ok for a 'community mod', but that is not a case. i5-9600K@4.8GHz ★ 32Gb DDR4 ★ Asus TUF rtx3080 OC ★ Quest Pro ★ Warthog on Virpil base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, what kind of "delays" are you talking about? It will be there on the 27th. If you don't update/install/whatever to the Open Beta branch, it's not LNS's fault.

I have a stable version, and that should be enough for the products I bought to work. Also, check the ED's pre-purchase page - where the hell it says it will be available for beta only??

Oh and by the way "Open Beta" doesn't mean it's super unstable and let your computer go nuts. It's just a way for ED to test their patches before they send it to the Stable Branch.

renhanxue Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Windows says that it isn't a valid route. Try "C:\DCS World\bin\DCS_updater.exe" update 1.5 with the quotation marks placed exactly like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an early release product, though, so it's not a huge surprise. You can hit download on the Beta Client, it'll copy most the files over, then you have both the stand alone and the beta. The only pain in the ass is the extra space used by the client. Probably only for a week until they patch the main client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is very flawed thinking. not everyone wants to run the beta version and not everyone wants to switch back and forth between the beta and stable version. All the modules that were early access and beta stated so. Viggen stated launch on January 27th for full price. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
