DCS: A-10C Warthog 1.2.1, Now Available

[wmilosh]

There's obviously some very smart and gifted people working on this sim, but I have a question. Why make it necessary to uninstall and deactivate everything and then start all over again. Why not just produce a patch that could accomplish the same thing - the KISS method? Just wondering.

With all the changes and especially the auto-updater function they may have wanted to start with a "clean slate."

DCS world is a core system that needed to be clean slated after every update due to the way said updates would otherwise be applied. With the new auto-updater, this is no longer an issue as it hash checks the updated files, and cleans up/repairs the install as it patches. If the installation gets corrupted anyways, there is now a repair function included in the auto-patcher.

Is anyone else noticing an impact to graphical performance (i.e. FPS) after the update? I'm a little concerned about the hit to my frame rates, and I'm hoping I'm not alone. The problem seems particularly bad near cities or when I'm articulating my head (via Track IR) to the rear portion of the cockpit.

 

I completely deactivated, uninstalled, and deleted all pertinent folders before updating to the latest version. Sadly, a re-install did not help.

 

Perhaps new features or content has increased the graphical load?

Yes, some are experiencing this, we are looking into it actively.

Thanks for the prompt reply! I'm happy to provide system specifics or software settings if desired.

The latest auto update seems to have helped quite a bit with FPS.

[Mike Busutil]

Awesome new APU sound. Much better!

Thanks guys (Revelation and Pyroflash). Just went through the process. This might hurt marketing in the short term, but I can see the benefits for the long term. I wish I had thought to save one particular mission I've been building for a while.

Do you have any type of backup taking place? If so you should be able to go inside of the backup and restore just that mission file.

Just did the update today and now I have three major problems.

 

A10C cockpit is invisible (see attached screenshots)

 

Ka50 will not launch, I get to press the "Fly" button and then I get a message saying the "program is no longer responding" and it goes to a debriefing.

 

The SU25 flies but the FPS is way down, almost a slideshow when I turn on the Shkval MFD. My system is not slow either.

 

All worked fine yesterday so it's not my pc.

 

I have all the latest drivers for TrackIR5 and my GFX card (GTX670).

 

Any ideas before I have to uninstall everything and start again?

 

Not a great patch!

 

My specs below:

 

CPU: i5 @ 4.2Ghz watercooled

RAM: 16GB Kingston DDR3

GFX: GTX670 2GB

Win 7 64bit

 

Any help would be great.

Re-install the A-10 and Ka-50 modules and then hit repair in the start menu.

[Lynx1677]

Thanks Nate. I uninstalled everything then started fresh. So far so good, A10 now working. Will try the rest tonight too.

 

I love this sim so much I can't be without it for an evening..............:thumbup:

Duhh, actually I do. Thanks for the reminder

[wmilosh]

Uh oh. Installed everything and got to use it once just long enough to realize I had to set up my Saitek rudder peddles and brakes. I noticed though, that my mouse was stuttering over switches. Restarted the game, it updated, and then nothing worked. I suspect my Kaspersky anti-virus program is responsible because it found and isolated a " DCS PDM Keylogger". Now what?

I want to give a BIG Congratulations to the DCS Team for the new release and features. I am pleased to see the update capability.

I just dusted off an old pre-v1.1.1.1 mission with ships in it and it looks to be running with a few ship sinkings already; glad to have it back.

But most of all, I **really want to thank the team** for bringing back the building-units so that those missions that use them are playable.

 

Good work! I can just can bet you all are relieved to have this release in the field, even with all of the scrambling since then to meet the demands of your customers.

 

Eno's Firehouse has converted to the new version 1.2.1 and I do not see us having to go back. WTG.

I think I also have a stuttering mouse. It works fine ingame but looks like its switching between mouselook and mouse cockpit very fast (between green dot and the normal cursor). Guess it has to do with trackir updating views. Do you also have trackir?

The mouse cursor is a known bug and is going to be fixed in the next update, as far as i know at least.

Awesome, love the auto updating already.

Yeah it's an awesome upgrade!

Yup, I have Track IR 5.

[mnrty]

Should be fixed with todays patch. atleast mine was :D

[Kalahari]

The new F/A-18C model is a beautiful improvement over the original generic textures. In time I think it would be excellent to see all the aircraft i.e. F-16, C-17, B-52, etc. with that sort of improvement.
