skypickle Posted April 2, 2023 Posted April 2, 2023 I want to install a fresh, virgin copy of DCS open beta. I download the installer file, run it, it updates itself first. Then it goes through a few EULA screens. Then it creates a desktop shortcut to an installation that already exists on my SSD (my H drive, not my C drive which is smaller but also has a DCS open beta installation). What? So I renamed the folder on my H drive SSD to DCS.original. I rerun the installer. Go through the same motions, Now it's downloading 142 gig of the base install to the same SSD (H drive). Why does it choose the largest SSD and not give me a choice? 4930K @ 4.5, 32g ram, TitanPascal

Honestly, I have no idea, because I have never needed to re-download a "virgin" copy of DCS ... this game has a wonderful tool called DCS_Updater.exe, which can restore your game folder to the exact same state it was when first installed, deleting any extraneous stuff that I may have placed there over the years. The tool is so smart that it can detect if you have another DCS version on your disks and take files from there, if feasible, to save on downloading time.
