Controls, Settings, and Progress Migration for DCS World 2.5 OpenBeta to 2.5 Release

[The_Ders]

Hello,

 

I have left 2.5 OpenBeta intact (still installed), and have now installed 2.5 Release. However, nothing was migrated. No controls, settings, logbook, campaign / mission progress...

 

Are users expected to manually migrate all of these things over?

 

Best,

I had to manually move my settings over. Everything worked fine once I copied the config folder in saved games over.

Ok. Will manually try to copy everything over. Will report back if still having problems. Thank you!

You probably know which Saved Games location deltaleader wrote above, so just two bonus hints: /Config/Input folder is where all controls settings are stored, /MissionEditor/logbook.lua file is where all your logbook and campaign records are stored.

Strange question perhaps, but what is the difference between the O.B. and the stable release?

I did nothing at all; all I got was an update for the updater, and the only difference I notice is on the startscreen that all icons are labeled "2.5""; instead of "NTTR 2.2" it now says "NTTR 2.5" and so on.

The user/saved games dir still says "DCS Open Beta".

I have 3 folders in saved games. Now that I am on 2.5, which 2 can I delete?

 

DCS

DCS.openalpha

DCS.openbeta

 

I moved the last 2 out and left the DCS one. I suspect it will work but it's not time to test yet(sipping coffee).

 

<Edit> That's the ticket.

Interesting.... I updated from stable 1.5.8 to 2.5 OB using the updater command line update @openbeta about 6 weeks ago. All went well. The other day, I ran the command line update @release, nothing appeared to happen until the dialog box appeared saying I was already on the latest update version. My Saved Games directory has ..../DCS World/.... in it. Nothing about openbeta in the file structure. So maybe it did switch to release. I have not downloaded the release version from the website. Has anyone else noticed this?

 

Cheers!!
