New Autoupdates Jun 27-28

[PeterP]

...things I have learned:

 

1. Press 'NO'

2. Make a complete backup* of your current DCS installation.

3. Than run the updater again

 

 

 

* Make a copy of your "DCS World" folder and rename it to "DCS World Before 1.2.4.14196.166" or similar.

Well done guys :chair:

Have you tested your patch before releasing ?

SAD ENOUGH even this does not get fixed except for the version number which was now included.

 

Well I think we ll wait another decade till this product is quasi-stable... :(

[ENO]

Hmmm- both machines I downloaded the update for are just World... wonder if it's some corrupt download files for one of the expansions?

[TimeKilla]

Just a small update.

 

It does work if you don't click on the splash screen just takes ages almost five minutes to load now. Never mind at least it's semi working. :)

It takes 43 seconds for me.

300mb for me big dl for little tweaks?

 

Small tweaks in a big file means a big dl.

[Lusik]

Mine is over 700 MB. It probably depends on the number of modules you have installed.

...and of your installed mods - disable big ones beforehand (e.g. Ricardos HD pits) - so you won't need to download the changed files .

It backs them up anyway.

[WolfK33]

Hmm, wanted to play with a buddy, we both updated, now I can´t find his server anymore, not in the list and when joining direct to the ip it says "Verbindung unterbrochen (Connection Interrupted)" a split second after "searching for server". It worked before, the only thing changed is the new update. Restarting, rebooting, done everything, no joy... :-(

[cichlidfan]

...and of your installed mods - disable big ones beforehand (e.g. Ricardos HD pits) - so you won't need to download the clanged files .

 

I disable all mods before updating. Saves time and avoids uncertainty. :)

 

...and then let JSGME tell me what files were changed.

[BigfootMSR]

LMAO PeterP. That had me laughing for 10 minutes.

[Orange57]

Same here takes about 4 to 6 minutes to start every time after the update.

[BaD CrC]

I just pressed the Updater cancel button while reading you guys posts....

[Skulleader]

Hello,

 

This new patch is installed on my DCS, size: 430.5Mb...

Is it possible to have the patch note ?

 

Thanks in advance, Skull.

[TurboHog]

It's indeed a bit slower on startup. But nowhere near the 5 minutes I've seen people talking about.

 

Hope ED releases another update that adresses this issue...

 

Wags said no content changes... Then why are comms on the Russian side now in Russian with the same settings? And I'm not the only one who has experienced this. So please give us that changelog!

Have you tried to start a flight ?

[Aries]

 

Seems I'll stick to the Huey instant action hard till next version... hahah...

 

:thumbup:

[LostOblivion]

Have you tried to start a flight ?

Took longer to get in the game. Once in, loading missions took less time. :)

[mud01]

Took longer to get in the game. Once in, loading missions took less time. :)

So we do not have the same problem:

time to start up screen : 8 seconds

loading time for a mission with only 2 planes : 4 minutes

[Teknetinium]

This bring us closer to 1.2.5 :)
