pauldy Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Just verifying.. if this is the case.. can i somehow rollback to 1.5.7 or earlier? There are things here in 1.5.8 that I do not like.. or shall we say.. problems left unresolved.. (e.g. Weird Afterburner flames, Missing Distance counter in F-15, weird overcast clouds, etc, etc...)

Art-J Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 ED usually keeps a one older build or two on their servers, so by using relevant parameter with DCS_updater.exe you can try rolling back.

pauldy Posted February 16, 2018 Author Posted February 16, 2018 Noted then, Thanks ^^ Guess this is it then.. gonna be stuck with 1.5 for a while.. at least until AD 2020 maybe... :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
pauldy Posted February 23, 2018 Author Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) Can't rollback.. So I guess all the other 1.5 builds were taken off the servers or something? I'm aiming for 1.5.6 since that was the build before much of the things in 1.5 got broken... Edited February 23, 2018 by pauldy [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
tintifaxl Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Why start the version with a colon? Windows 10 64bit, Intel i9-9900@5Ghz, 32 Gig RAM, MSI RTX 3080 TI, 2 TB SSD, 43" 2160p@1440p monitor.

pauldy Posted February 23, 2018 Author Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) I managed to correct it somehow.. but yeah.. It's still downloading even though the download size has exceeded the stated files size.. Did I do something wrong again? *still downloading at the time i made this post...* EDIT: Great... now I wasted 4 freaking hours trying to rollback. ..guess I 'll just have to live with this broken 1.5.8.13716...... btw I'm trying to rollback to 1.5.6.5199... I'm tired now and will just call it a day....... I give up... Thanks Edited February 23, 2018 by pauldy [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
pauldy Posted February 25, 2018 Author Posted February 25, 2018 So yeah.. is it actually possible to rollback to a specific version say 1.5.6 or I have to do it step by step..? like going to 1.5.8 build last january? Maybe that was my error...? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Katmandu Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) I'm downloading 1.5.6.5199 right now via SkateZilla Updater Utility. The downoload seems to be working at least, will update once everything is installed. Update: same error as above, the download stalls and quits after some time. Edited February 25, 2018 by Katmandu
pauldy Posted February 26, 2018 Author Posted February 26, 2018 I din knew there was some kind of updater utility. I guess i should try that sometime. But yeah so i guess we can rollback to specific versions then? ..and yes .. that would be unfortunate if we cant roll back to anything older than 1.5.7.... There' s so many annoying bugs here in 1.5.8... I cant even fly in overcast due to that weird annoying flicker.. cant fly at certain hours of a given night because of weird white clouds.. weird shadows during night time with quarter to full moon... the need to use at least 2 missiles to shoot down a fighter size target... ...and the HSI distance readout in my Eagle is gone etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.. :( [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Katmandu Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) This DCS specific app is fantastic, just copy to any folder outside of your DCS isntalls and use the app GUI to point it to your installs. Then press "advanced">update and type in the version number that you want to update to. Not that it helps if ED servers are offline, but it's a good app nonetheless. Dowload here https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=160053 As for the legacy versions, my motivation to try lower 1.5 versions was hope for better fps. I am getting 90fps in 2.5 and 22fps(!) in 1.5.8. (all max settings apart from bokeh "off", the same mission). Edited February 26, 2018 by Katmandu
pauldy Posted February 27, 2018 Author Posted February 27, 2018 I see, thanks^ -- I wish I could still rollback to 1.5.6... I really need to go back to 1.5.6.. or earlier The bugs here in 1.5.8 are annoying.... Sorry I'm a poorfag who can't upgrade to 2.5... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Katmandu Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) Alaaaarm! The 1.5.6 servers are up! I've already downloaded, it works, will test it more in the next few days. Also want to test Starway Textures with it as allegedly 1.5.8 had problems with blank TGP on Starways' map. Also, while bwosing logs of previous versions I've stumbled onto this https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3365690&postcount=63 F15 HSI was aparently fixed in 1.5.8 version 2 Edited February 27, 2018 by Katmandu
Katmandu Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Still sub 30fps for me in 1.5.6 :( So no change from 1.5.8. Sorry I'm a poorfag who can't upgrade to 2.5... I don't get it, you say that, but, like I say, I get 90fps in 2.5 vs 20+fps in 1.5x... Surely that means that 2.5 is better optimised? Or is there something wrong with my install? Here are the pics with FPS counter, same mission "Justice" with the same plane over the same coast. All the settings set to max (apart from bokeh) so also the same.
pauldy Posted February 28, 2018 Author Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the heads up. I will try it this weekend == Do you have v sync enabled?.. i enabled mine so my fps in 1.5 is usually 60.. I have the latest 1.5.8.. my Eagle's HSI distance readout is still not working... And well.. my PC's specs is not good enough for 2.5 that's why... centered around an i5, GTX760 OC... and old style 500GB HDD Cant upgrade to 1080 or something similar since my board and cpu box is small...it will just prolly have lots of conflicts with the motherboard... .. might as well buy a new Computer all together Edited February 28, 2018 by pauldy [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Katmandu Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 No, vsync is off. My pc is i5, 1080ti, 16gb. I'm really stumped as to why 1.5 is performing so poorly, will need to dig into it some more tomorrow. Off to bed now :) HSI is supposed to be working in 1.5.8 beta, not the release version. There are 3 1.5.8 versions on the servers https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2346597&postcount=3 :)
Katmandu Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) Civ traffic was the culprit, it eats 20-50(!!!) fps in 1.5. I've set it on low and fps has doubled. TGP is working well in Starway's mod, and overall I would say that Starway mod is looking better than 2.5, despite still being far more resource hungry than the latter. I think its the combination of smaller trees, better towns and well functioning AA. So its 1.5 on the monitor and 2.5 in VR for me :) Edited March 1, 2018 by Katmandu
pauldy Posted March 4, 2018 Author Posted March 4, 2018 Is it possible for me to just update to that Beta Build of 1.5.8.13716 Or I need to have another install of DCS or something? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Katmandu Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 I've no idea, I've left it at 1.56 and didn't experiment further. Try SkateZilla's app as it is the easiest way to switch and manage different versions. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=160053
Johnny_Rico Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 yeah I have to agree 1.5.6 was my favourite version, so many bugs were added in subsequent versions METAR weather for DCS World missions Guide to help out new DCS MOOSE Users -> HERE Havoc Company Dedicated server info Connect IP: 94.23.215.203 SRS enabled - freqs - Main = 243, A2A = 244, A2G = 245 Please contact me HERE if you have any server feedback or METAR issues/requests
pauldy Posted March 10, 2018 Author Posted March 10, 2018 Finally, back to 1.5.6, Thanks ED for keeping the 1.5.6.XXXX.XX builds up in the servers... I'll settle on this version for now, whilst I save up for a newer rig for DCS 2.5... Cheers^ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
