Kuky Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 What's best for one person is not best for another... I went with full version of both A-10C and Ka-50 because of less hassle when reinstalling No longer active in DCS...
Dirt Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 This is hard to answer. I have always did the full install. I found for some reason I had problems with all the patches. But this time I had problems with the full install. Before doing any update, I always make a backup copy of the saved game and main folder. I did the full install and A-10 would launch, but when I selected a mission in just a few seconds the game would crash. So I deleted my install and replaced it with a copy of the backup and used the patch. Games works great, no problems.
HiJack Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Full install is best both for BS2 and A-10C. And also remove the old Saved Games folder before installing.
Mustang Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Clean install of full version is preferable every time.
joey45 Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Always full. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

speckfire Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 I've patched from v 1.1.0.7 with no issues whatsoever. Speed is life !!!
cichlidfan Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Considering the developer's response to any problems with a patch is to instruct the user to install the full version; I do not see any point in installing a patch under any circumstances. I only bother to download them out of a sense of completeness.
