undertheradar Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 I wiped my HD in anticipation of 2.5. It looks like it's better to install 2.2 now to save time at 2.5 launch? Thanks!

If you're testing it on the 31st you are sure as hell cutting it fine! I'm not quite understanding this either. I hope there is some clarification what they are going to be "wide testing". It leads me to believe that this may be going down to the very end of this month. :music_whistling: EDIT: It means only one: you can get 2.5 version as soon as it released first time - i.e. at the end of January or you can wait for these 1..2 weeks and get it later.

If you're testing it on the 31st you are sure as hell cutting it fine! I suppose the Open beta will be available this week and the release one in "few" weeks as stated. But they will still meet their deadline to release the 2.5 in January. Even if it is beta, it will still be available to the whole public.

MasterZelgadis Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 On the 1-stage and 2-stage update there is an explicit hint that the 2.2 uninstallation is user prompted, that hint is missing for the 2.5 standalone installation. Will it remove the 2.2 automatically, or will it also be my choice to keep 2.2? "Sieh nur, wie majestätisch du durch die Luft segelst. Wie ein Adler. Ein fetter Adler." http://www.space-view.net

MemphisBelle Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) When will 1.5.8 open beta update to 2.5 open beta? I know I'm unlikely to get an answer, but nobody else asked so I guess it is worth a shot... you can expect it to have it installed on your whateverdisc within the the next 2 weeks. Release was set to End of January 2018...just a couple days left. New Saved Games\DCS.release_1_5 will be created for 1.5 Final version and all content will be copied into it from Saved Games\DCS. Missions that were created either on 1.5.8 and/or 2.2.0, will it be possible to load them into ME, save and thus convert them to 2.5 Game Version? Additionally, how will DCS World steam version update take place? Will it happen simultaneously to the actual relese, or will it happen shifted? It´s not for me, I´m asking for some friends who are quite new to DCS and running it via steam, thanks. Edited January 23, 2018 by MemphisBelle BlackSharkDen | BSD Discord | DCS Tutorial Collection

I also have +500GGB on my mechanical HD. 1: I imagine 40GB free space on my SSD is to small to install 2.5 ? 2: What are my options to install 2.5 on my SSD ?

HiJack Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Great to see this happening. The obvious thing to do before updating is to make a file copy backup of all you have in Saved Games.

Move 2.2 (for instance) to your HDD, then create a junctions (mklink /J Link Target, Windows) to the moved directory in the original location. Windows will believe 2.2 is installed at its original place but you have freed up the space. 1 Helicopters and Viggen DCS 1.5.7 and OpenBeta Win7 Pro 64bit i7-3820 3.60GHz P9X79 Pro 32GB GTX 670 2GB VG278H + a Dell PFT Lynx TrackIR 5

Joker735 Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 I have 1.5 in my hdd and 2.2 on my ssd, will it allow me to update to 2.5 on my ssd or should I just do the 2.5 installer ?

Guest Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Is going to be for download an .exe file to install 2.5 Open Beta and 2.5 Release from scratch? I mean with not a single DCS version installed on any drive be able to download an .exe file to start from zero a complete DCS 2.5 install? Thanks I also would like to know this. I was planning to uninstall everything and go for 2.5 from scratch.
Drag80 Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Can't get any more clear and easy. Great work ED :thumbup: If u r that clear please answer a few queries of mine. 1 - At stage 1..... 1.5.8 beta will be updated to 2.5 beta. But my question is why would someone have 1.5.8 beta version when 1.5.8 stable is out there? .... 2 - My assumption was that 2.5 will merge all version and wre will have one version that is 2.5. But if we opt not to un install 1.5.8 and 2.2 then does it mean that we will end up having three different versions? 3 - if 2.2 will be dead after 2.5, then why we will get option to keep 2.2 dead version ?

NeilWillis Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 I read it as a wide test of the procedure to update to 2.5 by the method described. I take it that wasn't the meaning then. Hopefully we'll see the update out this week as anticipated then. I don't mind which, as long as we are not misreading the situation. Personally, I would be happy to see a smooth run out rather than a quick one.

Maybe virtual squadrons will hold back updating the servers to ensure everyone can still join and play, just not with the newest, shiniest toys in the play pen. They'll then update as time / requirements / ability to migrate team missions see fit.
