ED Team BIGNEWY Posted April 26, 2018 ED Team Share Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) So for Steam users, we can either opt out of OpenBeta (3.6gb download) or wait for the patch? I was just about to fly :( If you have it installed in your x86 folder you can move it as a work around. If my memory serves me correctly there is a way of doing that with steam. edit you should be able to go to the games properties and move install picture added as an example or wait for hotfix Edited April 26, 2018 by BIGNEWY Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Slazi Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Thanks for the post, but Steam won't let me add another Steam folder on a drive with an existing Steam folder. I'm gonna opt out of the beta. 3.6gb will only take 10 minutes or so to download. Probably easier than moving the trillion gb DCS install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slazi Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 3.6 then a 6.1gb patch directly after. Not sure why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve303rd Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Moving all of DCS to Program Files from Program Files (x86) has worked for me. Thank you all for your help, happy times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_Rico Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I wonder if making a junction point link in Program Files to point Program Files (x86)/DCS World folder would be a work around ? Open a DOS window as admin cd /D C:\Program Files mklink /J "DCS World" "../Program Files (x86)/DCS World" In windows explorer go to C:\Program Files\DCS World\bin right click on DCS.exe -> select Send to -> Desktop (create shortcut) Try running you new desktop shortcut and see if that works ?

humptydumpty Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I am seeing this in the log "(this situation should not occur on end user PC, if there is no manual shader editing)" , i notice this in MP. It will connect now the 1st time but then will not respond once it's connected so i stay in the Spectator menu and then i need to quit it. Though my system is way below the required config. I am not complaining about the performance. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Attitude Power Trim Power Attitude Trim Wing Commander SWAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoupou Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 DCS 2.5.1 issues Hi guys. I have already done a full reinstallation of DCS 2.5.1 and the modules I have and I also changed the destination path as mentioned before. So far so good. Although the simulator loads correctly there is an issue. For example when I load the default campaign of the mirage 2000 on the first mission after I startup the engine, some Mirages saw up on the taxiway in front of me and they don't let me or "Chevy 1-1" to start taxing. Does anyone else have the same problem? I run on Steam.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_Rico Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I steam possibly trying to re-install (to the original location) after you moved it maybe ? How did you move it ?

hexmantheman Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I tried to move the folder and Steam starts to freak out. Steam itself doesn't give me an option to move the game folder. I've also tried running it as Admin, deleting the metashaders and etc. without any success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted April 27, 2018 ED Team Share Posted April 27, 2018 If you are having problems moving the install I would wait, we hope to have a fix out soon Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

scampaboy Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 If you are having problems moving the install I would wait, we hope to have a fix out soon Thanks, and good morning again :smilewink: I think the only solution is if you have a single drive is to either completely remove steam and create the install folder somewhere else or uninstall all your steam games create the installation folder and redownload. Im not sure about the second option ...... maybe its better to wait. Just on a side note, why did they remove the deferred shading option from settings? if i am flying in vegas or at night its good for me to turn it off because at night i can see and in vegas theres few trees and i prefer a nicer aircraft cockpit in those circumstances.

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted April 27, 2018 ED Team Share Posted April 27, 2018 probably better to wait. :) regarding deferred shading, discuss it in one of the other threads https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=206952 Unfortunately ED can not wait any longer, having two shading types was creating more problems than it was solving. Deferred shading is here to stay. Improvements are coming. thanks Forum rules - DCS Crashing?
