Flit Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Hi I can't seem to get my standalone 2.5.5 to update to 2.5.6 I've tried command prompt as in this tutorial https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+update+dcs+standalone&oq=how+to+update+dcs+standalone&aqs=chrome..69i57.8791j1j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#kpvalbx=_uGRLXvb0ENLgrQG7365Y23 But that only resulted in a message that said my DCS was up to date. Help appreciated. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flit Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 I've now tried Skate Zilla's launcher. It looks good. Unfortunately after setup it says: "The installed version 2.5.5.41371 is up to date." So that didn't help the issue. Thanks anyway hornblower793.

Flit Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) Thanks David. I tried that process ...and it may have helped. I ended up spending some more time with the the Skate Zilla updater ... and that seems to have allowed an update. However, the result is very fragile software and CTD after a minute or so. I read this is common and I guess I'll await another patch. EDIT: Actually, it's fine. Thanks for suggestions. Appreciated.
