atercygnus Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 I`m heavily frustrated f-15e is only avaliable for open beta DCS. I use stable one, no reason to deal with bugs, I prefer to wait a little and get a stable one. Is it gonna change in nearest future?
bfr Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 Unlikely. As you noted yourself, squashing bugs can take time so you'll have the usual lag of at least a few weeks before the stable channel is updated. 2

That's the usual practice: all new EA modules are always released on OB first.

atercygnus Posted June 25, 2023 Author Posted June 25, 2023 Oh, so, it will be avaliable for stable version in several weeks or months. Great! I`m just mad lots of dcs players uses open beta as a workhorse for some reason I cannot understand. Beta is for testers, not for regular players, isn`t it?

DCS Beta is basically the "up 2 date" version of DCS and the majority of the community exclusively use the beta branch to play, because there are basically no downsides to use that branch. I can't remember ever using the stable of DCS and never had any game breaking bugs or other problems in the Beta. So my advice would be to just hop over to the Beta and enjoy all the new content early. 7

I think you answered the question why a new a new module goes into the open beta release first. It is a new build, new modules often require new updates to the core software. It is possible new content introduces bugs into the build affecting other content and performance. Also if you don’t want to deal with bugs the first version of new content may not be for you, let the open beta community deal with it before it is considered stable enough. 3 AMD 5800X3D · MSI 4080 · Asus ROG Strix B550 Gaming · HP Reverb Pro · 1Tb M.2 NVMe, 32Gb Corsair Vengence 3600MHz DDR4 · Windows 11 · Thrustmaster TPR Pedals · VIRPIL T-50CM3 Base, Alpha Prime R.

Not sure what you're complaining about it's you that doesn't want the beta version so sit back and enjoy the wait for the stable version, and it will also still have bugs. Basically, we want it sooner than 2015 or later and ED will sell it to us at a discount! 1

No, Open Beta is for anyone and everyone and just really setting expectations that it may contain some bugs. If a show-stopper does occur (although the serious ones generally get patched ASAP) you can just roll back to an earlier Open Beta build (which will, at worst, be no older than stable). If you want a (relatively) bug-free experience then you go with the stable branch. It has always been weeks/months behind Open Beta for entirely obvious reasons, so this really shouldn't come as any surprise. Edited June 25, 2023 by bfr 1

Hi, sorry you are frustrated, this is the normal patch cycle for any release, before we can patch the stable version we need to gather data and look for any issues that would create problems for the stable version. Newly released modules do state open beta is required initially on the store page. The update for stable version is not just about one module but the whole of DCS so it does take some time, as soon as we are happy we will update stable version, but at this time I have no date to share.

Beta is for testers, not for regular players, isn`t it? in app development there is an alpha which is really early. then beta. lots of apps have a beta phase of say a week to see what happens when lots of players get into it. in DCS case their beta is continuous. it never gets out of beta. but yes. all the latest toys too. i personally do not care of the beta aspect. it is amazing that any of it works. i am a glass half full person. 1 AKA_SilverDevil Join AKA Wardogs Email Address My YouTube “The MIGS came up, the MIGS were aggressive, we tangled, they lost.” - Robin Olds - An American fighter pilot.

I have vague recollections of only once getting a 'show stopper' in an OB release where I rolled back a release and the problem was hot-fixed within a day or so anyway. Generally speaking OB is fine.

McCloud Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 I feel your pain. im currently on open beta to try the 15 but my squad plays on stable. So, when it comes around to a certain day in that week, I have to move back to stable to play with the lads. It’s abit of a farce.
