"Never play on Patch Day", remember? (Never patch on play-day...would be better) I'm sure it will be fixed, but that's why its not a good idea to release something at the end of the the day at the end of the work week. You know it might be problems, so either those problems will be unsolved over the weekend or the poor workers will have to work on the weekend. Release new stuff on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, so the workers bees have 2-3 days to fix any problems and still enjoy their weekends. i7 13700k @5.2ghz, GTX 5090 OC, 128Gig ram 4800mhz DDR5, M2 drive.
cfrag Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) So let's try a different tack: When I start DCS, I get the following Icon at the bottom: It does not say Normandy 2.0, so my question to those kind souls who have it working on their rigs: what does N2 look and identify like? Does it say 2.0? Edited April 21, 2023 by cfrag 1

Only flew for a minute to see if it works. have to go do some work for a few hours so I'll fly the big cities tonight. I'm prepared for some bugs. I'm sure it will get worked out. Some of the planes, but all of the maps!

Cowboy10uk Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 It will be sorted. Servers are getting hammered right now, and there will always be teething issues. Ref my remark on the icon, it actually looks like they have used the same icon for 1 and 2.0 . So it’s no wonder why we are all confused. have a look at the map and see if you can clearly see London and Paris on there. As well as a new station like Odiham, which has never been seen in DCS before, apart from in 2.0 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Fighter pilots make movies, Attack pilots make history, Helicopter pilots make heros. :pilotfly: Corsair 570x Crystal Case, Intel 8700K O/clocked to 4.8ghz, 32GB Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3200 MHZ Ram, 2 x 1TB M2 drives, 2 x 4TB Hard Drives, Nvidia EVGA GTX 1080ti FTW, Maximus x Hero MB, H150i Cooler, 6 x Corsair LL120 RGB Fans And a bloody awful Pilot :doh:

Cowboy10uk Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 Mmm, has to be a bug then. Certainly looks like you do have 2.0 as Paris etc wasn’t included in the first so you couldn’t even go there. I see a few others are saying they are having texture issues as well. im gonna be testing in an hr or so, so will let you know if I get the same issues [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Fighter pilots make movies, Attack pilots make history, Helicopter pilots make heros. :pilotfly: Corsair 570x Crystal Case, Intel 8700K O/clocked to 4.8ghz, 32GB Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3200 MHZ Ram, 2 x 1TB M2 drives, 2 x 4TB Hard Drives, Nvidia EVGA GTX 1080ti FTW, Maximus x Hero MB, H150i Cooler, 6 x Corsair LL120 RGB Fans And a bloody awful Pilot :doh:
splash Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 That is what I had before buying Normandy 2.0, low detail in Eiffel tower or Big Ben, for example, but they are there.

Hiob Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) It‘s not a bug. You guys haven’t read the FAQ properly. Normandy 1.0 is history. Normandy was upgraded to 2.0 by the patch. The folks who haven’t bought the new map will see the new areas like London and Paris in lower detail. Which is probably what you are looking at now. The store/licencing issues will be sorted out eventually. Let‘s be patient. Meanwhile I deleted the normandy map and am re-downloading rn… let‘s see… Edited April 21, 2023 by Hiob 1 "Muß ich denn jedes Mal, wenn ich sauge oder saugblase den Schlauchstecker in die Schlauchnut schieben?"

peachmonkey Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 Just now, Cowboy10uk said: Yes but these are guys who HAVE bought 2.0 thats the confusion i think it looks like a licensing issue, i.e. some of the people who bought n2 upgrade their license hasn't actually been 'migrated' or something like that... I bought N2 upgrade via Steam, haven't tried it yet, fingers crossed my lic is all sorted but who knows...
Art-J Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 I use standalone DCS. Also had the "you already have the license key!" message, but decided to take a leap of faith and proceed with the order. Payment did complete, I launched the game and N2 seems to be there... though I didn't have to download anything extra? Strange. At the same time, flying the F11 cam around shows rather high detail buildings and the module manager says I've got N2. 1 i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

To be fully honest, I expected some hiccups due to all the own 0-1-2 licences complexity…… so I‘m not angry…… just disappointed… "Muß ich denn jedes Mal, wenn ich sauge oder saugblase den Schlauchstecker in die Schlauchnut schieben?"

cfrag Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) I'm speculating that there is something slightly wrong with resolving the upgrade key to the normy 2.0 product, and hence I'm getting no high res (it looks like it downloads all textures for everyone, and simply disables them for those who do not have the license for 2). I got the ultra-cheap license since I already owned normy 1 and channel. What about the others? Which upgrade did you purchase and where (steam/direct)? Edited April 21, 2023 by cfrag
Feverdog Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 I can't even purchase from Steam as I only own Channel and there are only 2 options, "For owners of both" and "For owners of 44". The 44 one MIGHT work for me as they maybe just need to reword that one, but I'm not willing to chance the faff with having to refund and wait for license re removal and try again and so on 1

Steam is only showing "for owners of 44", "for owners of both 44 and Channel" or "full purchase" "Straighten up and fly right"
