ED Team BIGNEWY Posted July 12, 2020 ED Team Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) I think given the amount of messing around people do with files to get even decent FPS out of DCS, they should put a warning up, regardless in 20years of gaming i've never once heard of any game or game related software doing this. Damn you have been lucky, eve online fried my cpu when they went to walk in stations :) This issue is in no way that bad, the situation will only occur if you are using a custom download location via ( autoupdate_settings.cfg), which I imagine is less than 1% of the user base. It will also give you a warning about the files about to be deleted. as mentioned the dev is working on a fix thanks Edited July 12, 2020 by BIGNEWY Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

ED Team c0ff Posted July 12, 2020 ED Team Posted July 12, 2020 The updater 2.10.1.37 should be much more careful and friendly in this regard. Dmitry S. Baikov @ Eagle Dynamics LockOn FC2 Soundtrack Remastered out NOW everywhere - https://band.link/LockOnFC2.
Requiem_Alpha Posted July 12, 2020 Author Posted July 12, 2020 Just to clear something up. I did not modify the autoupdate_settings.cfg. I just had DCS in N:\DCS World OpenBeta and did nothing to the any install related configs. The updater just deleted all files in the N:\ root all by itself. Crowbar Inc.: "We deliver pain."

eracer1111 Posted July 12, 2020 Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) I have daily Full/Differential/Incremental backups (Macrium Reflect) on two external drives, and a Rescue Boot flash drive. DCS is on E:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta I'm going to disable my OvGME profiles and run the newest update on my OpenBeta install. ETA - everything looks fine.

I just had DCS in N:\DCS World OpenBeta and did nothing to the any install related configs. The updater just deleted all files in the N:\ root all by itself. You could ran out of space some time ago and were presented with a dialog to change your download folder. I guess at this point we cannot get any configs and logs to check this. I'm sorry for your loss. In the code, the updater operates with files inside install folder or download folder ONLY. Never anywhere else - as a safety measure. 2.10.0 started to assume that it can remove everything extra from the download folder. It was not considering a case of user error or misconfiguration where download folder may point to a useful filesystem sub-tree. 2.10.1 only deletes what it does know of and warns about everything else. Still if someone points his download folder improperly, the files matching the names of what's being downloaded will get overwritten. The only safe route here is to remove this "custom download folder" feature completely and always use game install dir for all operations. Users may opt to store their stuff there as well, but that would obviously be a risky behavior. The downsides of an open platform... Dmitry S.

JoeyJoJoJunior Posted July 12, 2020 Posted July 12, 2020 Okay, I ... I don't think I'm going to ever touch that Repair tool ever again. I can't, I've got pictures of family, of vacations, and home videos from VHS...I can't risk all that by using a DCS tool, what the heck! Dude, buy some cloud storage NOW. Even backing up to another hard drive is not good enough, like if you have a fire, for example, unless you store it at another physical location. i7 6700k @ 4.6, Gigabyte Z170X-UD3, 32GB DDR4 2666, GTX 1070, Rift S | MS Sidewinder FFB2 w/ TM F-22 Pro Grip, TM TWCS Throttle, VKB T-Rudder Mk.

epoch Posted July 12, 2020 Posted July 12, 2020 :thumbup: Fantastic response from ED in getting this fixed so quickly. Less than 24 hours from report to fix. At a weekend. Nice work c0ff. I imagine it wasn't the Sunday you were expecting!
ED Team c0ff Posted July 13, 2020 ED Team Posted July 13, 2020 Nice work c0ff. I imagine it wasn't the Sunday you were expecting! Yeabsolutely! Thank you for the kind words! This was the first critical bug in the updater since its inception in 2012. I hope the situation is over for you guys, but it is definitely not for us: the analysis and changes in the process are ongoing. Dmitry S.

Requiem_Alpha Posted July 13, 2020 Author Posted July 13, 2020 @c0FF I managed to recover most of the deleted files from my hard drive (Except my FL Studio projects *sigh*). Which log files would you require to further analyse the issue? Again let me assure you, that I had DCS regularly installed in a folder on my N: drive, not in the root directory and that I didn't modify any config files. Crowbar Inc.: "We deliver pain."
Rudel_chw Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 ... Which log files would you require to further analyse the issue?
