PedroTheGoat Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Well, the torrent is going to take a while... Doesn't matter though, I am one EXCITED Goat. Just going to play ArmA for a bit while downloading to keep me from being ansy.
LukeSky Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 louisv Please take a screenshot of your task manager and post it. I you have a good computer, maybe it's something that slow down your computer. ex. if you are seeding the torrent, your hd may be working too hard. That may slow down the loading page [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Windows 7 64bit, Core I7 950, Nvidia GTX 260, 6 gig RAM, TIR 5, Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals, Logitech attack3 :(

Aylward Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 UNINSTALL Beta 4 - not just delete or install over. Would also recommend that you manually check if there are any user files (in C:\User\XXXX\SavedGames\DCS for Win7 users) and remove or rename that folder there, in case there are leftovers. The only thing we would advice keeping from Beta is missions, there are too many things changed everywhere else to even hope of guaranteeing stability otherwise. So what happens when we get a message that says "this installation can only be uninstalled in 64 bit windows" and Im running XP32 ?? Is deleting the install folder sufficient then ??:helpsmilie: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] please... please... please... let the next DCS module be an F-18 fighter aircraft :worthy:
EtherealN Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Aylward, Eh, wha? That is... peculiar. Never seen that one before. Try installing in a separate folder. So if the beta was installed into C:\Games\DCS HOG, install into C:\Games\DCS A10 or something like that. Should still work. If it works, then you can try manually removing the old one. I don't like leaving old registry entries and such though. :/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester

Evader Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Great... Left the house @ 0630, it's now 2315 and still working. Damn PET Scanners. How come I don't see ATI in the recommended specs. I just dropped $700 on two 6970's. If ED wanted Green, they could have speced that. My apologies if it is a mistake and ATI was left out of the specs, although I see Wags is Green....should be a hint. Oh well, work for another couple hours loading software and download A-10 tomorrow, servers should lighten up a bit by then.
LukeSky Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 i7 920 ati radeon 4830 evga x58 sli 6gb ddr3 win7 64bit That video card is old a little bit. Maybe EtherealN may tell you if they test that sim with this video card. If not, you may think to upgrade it. I'm pretty sure that's the problem why your frame rate is not higher than that. Start task manager, kill all that you don't need (if you don't know what post a screenshot of your task manager) start the sim. It may help to gain 5-10 fps but changing your video card for a NVidia one (gtx series are the best bet) may improve greatly the fps.

EtherealN Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Yes, that GPU is a bit on the weaker side. I'm a bit foggy on the ATI cards but when I checked it's numbers it didn't look very encouraging. Evader, for ATi/AMD cards, just take the nVidia recommendation and anything that performs roughly equal will be fine.

Cornbread Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) OK. OK. Dude. The release version runs so frigging nicely. Huge FPS increase. At least a 25 percent increase here. At least. Too many other awesome things to mention right now. ED: HATS OFF FOR AWESOMENESS! Edited February 22, 2011 by Cornbread not sufficiently thankful post. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Mike Busutil Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Ed, I have been flying the final release now for a while. I am impressed :thumbup: Your team deserves the recognition as the best flight sim developer’s period. Your attention to detail is very impressive. Great job!

kbullet Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) hmm is it just me or some commands are disabled for the Joystick? ! Alot of the commands now does not have a highlight on the Joystick therefore i can't assign one to it. I have a x52 pro and now i can't assign flaps up/down, trim reset etc. ?

msalama Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Are you sure about the cpu and 64bit OS requirement? are those minimum reqs? The FAQ says a 32-bit installer is included (which is what I'll have to use initially too). The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.

nomdeplume Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 You don't have to log in, the username prompt is because the server is rejecting the login due to being too busy. Use the torrent, keep trying the various servers, or just wait patiently for a day or two for the initial rush to be over.
