Grift-06 Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 Hi everyone, Is there any solution to switch to open beta, and switch back to the release without downloading 70 GB?:helpsmilie: I tried with the DCS Updater Utility but it asked me to download the entire game... I hope it's possible cause there are no MP WWII servers (with people) on the release version:pilotfly:
QuiGon Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 What do you mean by "Updater Utility"? The tool that you have to download and provides you with a graphical user interface or the command prompt? I don't know how the former works, but with the command prompt it should work fine without you having to download the entire game: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030 Updating or Switching an Install Between "Open Beta" and "Release" Version Branches (1.2.8.): In the Command Prompt Windows: Type: dcs_updater.exe update <version>@Branch (ie DCS_updater.exe update 1.5.1@openbeta, DCS_updater.exe update 2.0.0@openalpha ) DCS_updater.exe update @release DCS_updater.exe update @openbeta On the other hand 70GB, might actually be the sum of all the beta patches that have been released since the last stable version. :music_whistling: 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!
Grift-06 Posted April 14, 2020 Author Posted April 14, 2020 Yes exactly that's it. And for the link when I try to enter "DCS_updater. exe update @openbeta", it doesn't work, with the PowerShell and the Command Prompt.... I'm lost ...:megalol:
QuiGon Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 Yes exactly that's it. And for the link when I try to enter "DCS_updater. exe update @openbeta", it doesn't work, with the PowerShell and the Command Prompt.... I'm lost ...:megalol: You need to navigate to the correct folder within the Command Prompt first before executing this command. It's all explained in the guide in the steps above ;) 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!
Grift-06 Posted April 14, 2020 Author Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) So I did all right (I think) and it still asking to download... Edited April 14, 2020 by Grift-06
QuiGon Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 So I did all right (I think) and it still asking to download... Well, of course you have to download something as there is a difference between stable and beta and that difference is quiet big, considering how many patches the beta has recieved since the last stable update. 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!

But it asks me to find 40 Gb of free place (with 35 Gb free):cry:
CBStu Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 But it asks me to find 40 Gb of free place (with 35 Gb free):cry: You could install another hard drive. SSDs are about $100 for a terrabite now.
Grift-06 Posted April 14, 2020 Author Posted April 14, 2020 You could install another hard drive. SSDs are about $100 for a terrabite now. Yeah I know but I can't, I have only one slot and I don't want to buy another SSD...
QuiGon Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 Yeah I know but I can't, I have only one slot and I don't want to buy another SSD... Well you have to when the Stable gets updated. 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!
Grift-06 Posted April 14, 2020 Author Posted April 14, 2020 Well you have to when the Stable gets updated. What do you mean?
QuiGon Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 What do you mean? When the stable gets updated again you will have to download all this data anyway. 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!
