Updates - Confusion?

[SUNTSAG]

Hi All,

 

During the last two OB updates, I have encountered some very strange instances upon running the update; after forcing such via the command prompt (as I always do). Let me explain.....

 

Step 1:

 

Firstly I ensure I have a completely vanilla version prior to running the update...meaning no Mods folder in the saved games area (folder removed) and all JSGME activated Mods disabled.

 

Step 2:

 

Select the OB bin folder by highlighting it and pressing left shift and mouse click allowing me to open a command prompt window.

 

Step3:

 

Type DCS_updater.exe update at the command prompt and press return to initiate the update. Everything runs correctly and the update is installed. I then run DCS 2.5 OB completely vanilla to test the update.

 

Update 25/04/2018 Issue:

 

I noticed in the Gazelle (all variants) that my ADF frequencies were obscured. (See image). I asked other people if they had the same issue and the response was NO.

 

 

Rectification Actions Taken:

• I used Skatezillas Utility and ran a clean and repair and that didn't resolve my issue. (usually works).

• I then ran a repair via the command prompt and the issue remained.

• I uninstalled and reinstalled the module and that solved my problem.

 

Update 11/05/2018 Issue:

I encountered an issue in my Harrier whereby uncaging my Mavs resulted in the MPCD displaying the map beneath my crosshairs. (See image).

I often read posts where some people have an issue and others don't. I am wondering how an update can be different for some and not for others on a vanilla install. Obviously I realise we all have different hardware and software running on our machines but that should not have a great impact particularly when the issues can be resolved with a repair or module reinstallation.

 

So my question is what could be causing these issues and how can I/We avoid them in the future? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
