Belphe Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 I feel privileged to be part of this. ED - thank you so much for making my childhood dreams come true.. 1 Never say never, Baby! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Eldur Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Great thing you released it one day earlier. Makes it possible to actually fly when it was planned to be out initially Too bad the torrent speed crashed though. Was around 3-8MB/s going up and down constantly, but now it's down to 600KB/s for the last ~1.5GB. Have to stay up way longer than expected now since I don't want to abort it and I don't trust it enough to be able to continue from where I'd leave it... I'll be so dead tomorrow But how often is it that we get such a major update? It will be worth it
Awesomejlee Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Yeah, my torrent speed is ridiculously slow - like 1990s Napster slow. 2 more weeks until I finish my download... sigh
backspace340 Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 There really does need to be a better option - it's why so many people stick to steam, at least there you're guaranteed 8-9mb/s DL speed. This is medieval, I've got gigabit internet and I've been downloading for 11.5 hours now and it's only at 97% and running at 15kb/s. The HTTP download is barely better - a static 150kb/s for that. So I've got the choice of the torrent which probably averages more like 300kb/s, or the HTTP for a guaranteed 150kb/s. This is absurd.

Toni Carrera Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 If you don't have the Open Beta installed, use the updater with DCS_Updater.exe update @openbeta to convert your 1.5.8 Stable Release installation to the Open Beta branch and download 2.5.

Patience was never really my strong point when it comes to DCS, so I've changed my stable 1.58 to Open beta, and as far as I can tell, it's updating to 2.5.. it's downloading a whopping 50GB worth of something. In Hindsight, I was probably better off waiting the extra time to have standalone updater, and uninstalling either my 2.2 or my 1.58 version, it's quite possible, the bulk of this download is actually my Nevada map, as that ****er comes in at 30GB. Judging by the time so far, on my shit connection, the standalone updater might be available before this "update" is complete !! :D Happy Flying chaps, so far all the updated terrain videos appearing on YouTube are ranting about the "stunning" update, and it's extremely positive.

Sooner or later it will come. Its better to play 1.5 stable version than 2.5 beta version. let the dust settle down.
Pikey Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 wow, my missions worked, scripting so far is working, ground units are behaving so much better, not perfect, but better, they ford and cross rivers with some apparent thought, the road system and bridge system is greatly built upon opening up new possibilities, the forests are amazing and CA has changed as will the approach to using forests. had to take my VR settings down a few notches, but also working. I'm close to being as surprised as I get with DCS and i am tough to please. Good job ED team! ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING *

Gigidang Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 I have installed the 2.2 Open Alpha and the 1.5.8 Open Beta and already updated to 2.5. Now the game is downloading 40+ GB!!! to install all the modules. I thought if i have installed 2.2 i save some download size? At least i download with ~2MB/sec (upload 1,5 MB/sec). [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Alpenwolf Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Alpenwolf, may I ask where you downloaded the Open Alpha version from? From their official website: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/ Uhm, are you sure about this? The Open Alpha should not update to 2.5 Open Beta automatically. :huh: Had to work my way around it. It doesn't do that automatically, you're right.

QuiGon Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Had to work my way around it. It doesn't do that automatically, you're right. Does that mean, that you used the updater with the DCS_Updater.exe update @openbeta command on your 2.2 Open Alpha to convert it to 2.5 Open Beta and it worked?
