sc_neo Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Yeah: simple question; how do i end up with 2.5OB and 1.5.8 final when i have 1.5.8OB and 2.2Alpha installed atm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balzarog Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Just double-clicking on the updater has never worked for me on the major downloads. I have to use the command line method. I had to use it to install Normandy and the WWII assets pack too. Running the updater.exe has only ever updated the incremental updates. I'm at 60% now. Downloading slow, but that's OK. I'm retired and have all day.

dburne Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I only needed to make a double click on the DCS shortcut on my desktop. That's all that was necessary to get 2.5. But if you have special wishes then it can get complicated of course ;) That is all I had to do this morning as well... Now at 51%...

You use the updater to convert your 1.5.8OB to 1.5.8 Stable Release, wait a week for 2.5 Stable Release to be released, use the standalone 2.5 Stable Release installer and during the installation it will ask you if you want to keep a backup of 1.5.8 Final.

Steel Jaw Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Wrong. Nevada is available in 2.5 together with Normandy and the new Caucasus. So is it updating both 1.5 and Nevada at the same time?

QuiGon Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 So is it updating both 1.5 and Nevada at the same time? I'm not sure what you mean.

sze5003 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 So is it updating both 1.5 and Nevada at the same time?It's taking files from Nevada and 2.2 and putting it all together in 2.5. You will still be able to access Nevada from 2.5. I believe they said Nevada on it's own would be updated later.

ED Team NineLine Posted January 30, 2018 ED Team Share Posted January 30, 2018 So is it updating both 1.5 and Nevada at the same time? 2.2 Open Alpha wont be updated, instead Normandy and NTTR will move to 2.5, 2.5 will install over your 1.5 Open Beta and later Release.

sze5003 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Nevada is not supposed to get any more updates currently. It has already reached its final size.In that case I got confused, the standalone 2.5 installer is coming later or possibly tomorrow. But for people that only have 2.2 that should take care of it. I wish the straight of hormuz map also was available.

If the desktop only had 1.5.8 then it's downloading stuff it would pull from 2.2 if you had it installed.

Nosferatuwhisky 1-1 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 So when the 2.5 will be ready? Hope it will have improved ground terrain textures, because now trees dont look like trees (and this is in maximum settings). You've been living under a boulder the last few months haven't you?
