1.5.8 and 2.2.0 to 2.5 transition Discussion

[Ala13_ManOWar]

Is this possible? Whenever I try to do force the update to stable version, the updater states I already have the latest stable version. But I had the Open Beta only.

 

Could it be that this is just 2.5.0 with the last few hotfixes? If so, there doesn't seem to be any correction to multiplayer crashes. And that memory leak, was it fixed?

As said, current version is the same on both. Still you'll be in the Beta of course. AFAIK it should still be possible to change from one kind of version to another using the command line feature.

 

 

S!

Nothing close to your translation.

 

Translate again with a better tool.

 

"The night lighting on the map is already done, will be in the next update.

With stutters we did everything we could, but if the module is really heavy, like the MiG-21, then the stutters will still be on weak machines."

 

Not a single word about MP, or RAM in his post.

Ops. Sorry .... :(

And how about to make something like the "slowed" or "delayed" loading?

For Imagination:

great scott, its here

[Mad Dog 7.62]

So is the version that finally updates 2.2 to 2.5?

[Lord_Pyro]

Does anybody know if the torrentupdater can be paused?

Even with files from the alpha i need to download 50+ Gig and given my lame connection it would result in an 20+ hours download, which is impossible without pausing for me. Or has anybody uploaded splitted files yet?

[Nooch]

Pause it no, not really but you can always stop the download and re-launch the updater / repair tool later. It will automatically take it back from where you left.

[Ruru]

After updating from 1.8.5 to 2.5 I have had a huge performance drop in game is this normal?

Should start up where it left next time if you don't delete the torrents.

[BlueAngel]

Thanks for the clarification

 

I tried the command line but it states I have the stable 2.5 version already. So, yeah.

[Woolfe]

I reckon i am short of disk space so going to back up DCS 2 open alpha on another drive, delete it and try again overnight

[Heli Shed]

the update streams with open alpha and open betas are too complex ED.

 

2.5 is now released, yet it is not clear, even after forum diving, if this is the RC and if the current open beta will update itself and become the RC.

 

with the current install path for open beta including 'open beta' in the install directory, i doubt it.

 

Great product as always and, i fully support although a little quieter nowadays but, this really needs addressing.

 

 

Please....................be clear.

[Kervinou]

All are done

Simple... thanks

[Woolfe]

After delete couldn’t find updater. Instead of downloading am deleting everything and doing a a clean install.

[Woolfe]

OK that worked well.

 

Now cant do clean install

 

Create Process failed Code 740

 

OK, sorry, my bad, need to run as administrator, see you in 12 hours!

[Zius]

Presently I have installed:

- 1.5 Release

- 2.5 Beta

 

I would like to remove 2.5 Beta and make a clean install of 2.5 Release, but how should I go about that? Deactivate the modules in 2.5 Beta, run the uninstaller, download 2.5 Release and install it and then reactivate the modules?

Just uninstall release and download the new 2.5 release installer. It will not download anything. The updater is smart enough to copy data from already installed OpenBeta root folder.

Thanks! But is it necessary to first deactivate all modules, or not?

works for me.

1) Before you begin : don’t delete 2,5 open beta, don’t remove, deactivate your modules etc.

2) Download new installer from https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/stable/

3) Run installer

4) Provide new path for DCS World

5) Now installer will recognize previously installed 2.5 open Beta and will start copy files from 2.5 open beta to new directory DCS World

6) Move Input profile files from 2.5 Open Beta to DCS folder:

C:\Users\[username]\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input

7) uninstall 2.5 Open Beta

8) enjoy

[Greyman]

wouldn't an updater have been a better idea, so that you could just run it in the 2.5 beta folder and it would check which files, if any, have changed in the release version, before downloading any amended/new files as necessary?

[51GRIZZLY]

I am running 2.5 OB including Caucasus and Nevada map, its running really well so far so i refuse to change anything at all until this Forum provides a clear cut way on how to execute the transition to 2.5 release version. Cause having read the last 3 previous pages here about how to do the transition the right way has left me rather confused to say the least.

 

Cheers
