DCS World autoupdate from 1.2.1 to 1.2.2 takes forever

[c0ff]

I still have 1.2.1 and the update attempt failed ("unable to apply update:error?").

I 'll try to d/l the files and launch 1.2.2 by myself. But have I to uninstall 1.2.1 before or owerwrite just like updater does?

 

Please, attach the autoupdate.log file while it's still intact.

Sorry I've forgotten to do it in previous post.

Here it is:

And this is old update log:

And that's all?

What was the error message? Can you please, provide a screen shot if there's nothing in the log?

[Charlie_01]

Not now!!! The autoupdater made the d/l in more than 2 hours and I'm almost to going bed now, since I'll wake up early for work tomorrow.

I'll try again tomorrow after I'll be back home and will let you know.

However the error message was exactly the one I quoted in my first post.

Thx for support anyhow.

[c0ff]

That's ok. Have a good sleep :)

[Charlie_01]

Thx.

Just one thing more: my installation is modded a lot. Could this affect the autoupdate?

I remember that Falcon 4 AF patches didn't apply if mods were present: is it maybe the same here?

Your mods will be backed up into .backup_xxx/ dir in the game folder.

I too am having lots of trouble with the auto update. I have tried several times, and it gets hung up part way through. I am on 1.2.1 and have been trying to update on and off since the 8th (was out of town from 10- 13th).

 

Here is the information from my latest attempt.

Ok, glad to know that.

Today good news only: first of all the autoupdater has been very fast (2 min.) since files downloaded yesterday seemed to be still into temp folder :)

 

Then autoupdate has suceeded too!

The issue was caused simply by firewall blocking. It prompted before what he had to do but I didn't see it because I was busy and I left d/l completing alone since it was very time consuming. So I didn't say to procede with applying the update and after a lot it left the error message I said, i.e. unable to APPLY the update... :music_whistling:

Anyway thx again for every support c0ff.

It will take a while to DL 900 Megs. But will be better since then.

It will take a while to DL 900 Megs. But will be better since then.

 

I know that it takes a while to download 900 MB (0.9 GB) BUT I have let it run for a couple hours at a time without the bar moving any. I have been trying to download via the autoupdate for 1 hour an 20 minute as of now, and the bar is only 1/5th of the way complete, and hasn't moved in at least 1 hour and 15 minutes.

 

ANd I have my ANti-virus turned off!

 

I have down loaded the full 1.2.2 version via torrent in MUCH MUCH less time.

 

Can you tell me how I can do a manual update without losing an activation.

 

:cry:

 

TIA

 

PS - It has now been over two and and a half hours ans the bar has NOT moved!!!

 

THe curret auto-update.log is :

You can deinstal previous version and install new without losing an activation.

Activation information saved in the windows register.
