D4n Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 When trying to patch and it's insufficient space on drive and I click "no" on the prompt "Do you want to download patch to other drive?" and then start DCSupdater again, the game starts instead of showing again that game is not on latest version.

QuiGon Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 DCS checks for updates only once per day. You have to force DCS to check for updates in your case. Easiest way to do that is to open your windows start menu and type "Update DCS World". Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
D4n Posted July 7, 2018 Author Posted July 7, 2018 DCS checks for updates only once per day. And this has to change asap, as you see what happened when user clicks on "no" just once (when HDD/SSD is full).

SkateZilla Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 And this has to change asap, as you see what happened when user clicks on "no" just once (when HDD/SSD is full). Havent we been over this already?

D4n Posted July 7, 2018 Author Posted July 7, 2018 I don't remember that you explained it. The only thing I could think of now is server load reduced? (less inqueries by clients like "is new version available?") but I don't think that servers nowadays are so weak (hardware wise).

Flagrum Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 ... on a related note ... please, can we have back the Rep System?
msalama Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 Man oh man. Man oh man, you let your HDD fill up and then whine about it, expecting ED to fix something that was caused by your sloppiness in the first place, and then act rear end hurt when someone points out that you can update manually. Who do you think you are, the king of Netherlands or something? The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
D4n Posted July 7, 2018 Author Posted July 7, 2018 Nope, I expect them to fix something that was caused by their very first updater-technology which is this way since what, 5 years now?

msalama Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 Expect what you want since no-one cares, because the thing is just fine as is and you can also force an update manually whenever you want. And their update method caused what, your HDD running out of space? Are you joking and/or smoking? The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.

feefifofum Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 (edited) I'd suggest looking at the shortcuts which are automatically added to the start menu when DCS is installed. "Update" will automatically update whatever branch you are currently using, regardless of the original branch of the installation. You only need @<branch> if you are changing branches. This changes a line in autoupdate.cfg that tells the updater what to look for. If you tell DCS not to make shortcuts, then you don't really have a leg to stand on when they're not there, do you?
