Solution Flappie Posted February 6, 2022 Solution Share Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) There can be two causes: A. You changed your release version into an OB version, either through DCS_updater.exe, or through SkateZilla's GUI. B. You have a dcs_variant.txt file in your main DCS folder. In any case, here's the solution: Go to your main DCS folder, create a dcs_variant.txt file if it doesn't exist already. Now open this file and simply write the name you want to see next to "DCS.". Example: banana will give you Saved Games/DCS.banana In your case, you just write "openbeta", without quotes.

Flappie Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Locate the folder that was created by the game, and you'll find a "Logs" folder inside it, which will contain a file named "dcs.log" (it may appear as "dcs"). Please attach it so we can study it together. Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flappie Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Hey. I believe Steam never creates a "DCS.openbeta" folder (I'm not sure, because I've been using the standalone from the start). Anyway, putting it in your "Saved Gmaes/DCS" should make it work as expected I guess. Please note we won't help people installing mods in the present section. Please consult the Mods section.
