SC86 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I think it is about high time that we had only one version of DCS WORLD, it shouldn't be a big problem to have only one. I almost never play DCS world as most of my favourite servers are on the Beta version and all the new planes come out on the beta version. Do you have both versions and use both, or am I crazy for clogging up my computer with two huge versions of the sim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudel_chw Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I used to have several versions of DCS, at one point having DCS 1.5, 2.5 stable, 2.5 Openbeta and Steam DCS .. but the Map boom of the last two years (3 maps: PG, The Channel and Syria) makes it impossible to sustain, so currently I have only 2.5 Openbeta installed.

Tippis Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 There's next to no reason to have stable installed. In large part because the name is… not very accurate. For the vast majority of the time, it is no more stable than the beta but trades those scant few instances for not having the latest bugfixes and improvements that actually make for a more stable and working experience. ❧ ❧ Inside you are two wolves.

OnlyforDCS Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Since you seem to spend a lot of time on the multiplayer servers, then by all means keep your OB installation and get rid of stable. Once in a while some new show-stopping bugs pop up on OB but there is really no reason to keep stable unless you absolutely must have a "relatively" bug free experience.

Tom Kazansky Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I play stable bc I play with people that are not too experienced in dealing with OB issues. Since the stable version is just a OB version ED is satisfied enough with to call it stable or release version I'm hoping this will not change in the future. I respect your point though and have been thinking for myself similarly from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nessuno0505 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) I have both but I'm thinking to keep only stable; there are too many bugs in OB and they don't get addressed quickly, sometimes they even pass on stable. Fortunately some of them have community home made solutions, but the frequent updates of the open beta force me to recheck and redo fixes every week. The 3 months cycle of the stable Is, well, more stable, since you have to deal with bugs and fix only once until the next update and not every week. However I do not fly online. I think that the vast majority of servers being on open beta Is a weird thing and the main problem in dcs community. People can't wait and wants news as soon as possible, but the main reason of the open beta should be tests and to help the developers. Unfortunately this Is not the case, even if ED itself suggests to do so. Things being this way, maybe just one public version (hopefully with slower updates than OB) could be a solution.
