trois-pas Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) I play DCS BS2 on a 7 years old machine (2 Go of ram and vista 32 bits). I know that 32 bit support will be eventually be dropped (something i can understand) and with only 2 Go of ram, switching to a 64 bit OS won't help. So, is there a way to block update so that i can stay with the last version to work fine on my machine until i buy a new gaming machine ? I have searched the forum but did not found an answer to this kind of unusual question. Edited June 22, 2013 by trois-pas
Jona33 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 When there is a new update it will scan, then if there is one it will say Install? Just click no. Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing
cichlidfan Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 I won't swear to this but...IIRC... In your Saved Games\DCS\Config folder, you can edit 'autoupdate.settings' and change update period from 1 to 0. { "update_period": [color="Red"]1[/color], "last_update": 150610 } ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero, i7-6700K, Noctua NH-D14 Cooler, Crucial 32GB DDR4 2133, Samsung 950 Pro NVMe 256GB, Samsung EVO 250GB & 500GB SSD, 2TB Caviar Black, Zotac GTX 1080 AMP!

Eddie Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Or you could just go to %Username%\Saved Games\DCS\Config\autoupdate.settings Open the file in Notepad++ or similar and change the first line from "update_period": 1, to "update_period": 0, That will disable auto updates altogether. It will then only check for updates when you specifically tell it to by running the updater.exe.
trois-pas Posted June 22, 2013 Author Posted June 22, 2013 Thank you all for the quick reply. I edited autoupdate.settings and it seems to work quite well. no "Checking for update" pop up at launch. Now, alll i have to do is wait for 1.2.5 :thumbup:
