You should post in the bugs section.

Yeah, being able to revert to 1.2.5 would be great. 1.2.6 is effectively broken for me to the point that I've gone back to pre-DCS World BS2 and A-10C.

 

Search Function works, As i know I've Copy/Pasted at least 100 Times.

 

 

Start

Type CMD

Open Command Prompt.

Type: CD\

ENTER Key

Type: CD Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Bin\

ENTER Key

Type: DCS_updater.exe update 1.2.5

ENTER KEY

 

 

or (DCS_updater.exe update 1.2.4 if you want to go back to 1.2.4)

 

to Install a Module without having to worry about Versions of the installers

 

Start

Type CMD

Open Command Prompt.

Type: CD\

ENTER Key

Type: CD Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Bin\

ENTER Key

Type: DCS_updater.exe install UH-1H

ENTER KEY

 

 

( or Type:

DCS_updater.exe install A-10C,

DCS_updater.exe install KA-50

DCS_updater.exe install P-51D

DCS_updater.exe install CA

DCS_updater.exe install FC3

 

Etc)

 

 

Also, Try Renaming the saved Games/DCS/ Folder as Control Schemes have changed for some Aircraft.

FLANKERATOR don't know, I'm downloading 1.2.5 using CMD console without problem.

For this command:

Type: CD Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Bin\

 

I open properties of DCS desktop icon, and write the route exactly as I see there couse I don't install DCS in program files.

Now neither 1.2.5 neither 1.2.6 can fly.

Something "broken" when I install 1.2.6 for the first time.

Neither Full Screen or Windowed Mode.

Great!!!!!

Now is like I have a simulator less in my bag. I see the icon, but can't do anything with it :(

Maybe a new patch for 1.2.6??? But only if ED is doing something to fix all these problems that 1.2.6 has created.

No oficial words for now.

Is like we are not important actually.

Well, I prefer that ED fix it than to buy a new power supply and a new GPU and more ram. Too much money for me now.

 

I'm back to Falcon BMS...

I thought your problems where GPU or power supply related?

Ok, from fresh 1.2.6 install I reverted to 1.2.5 v.17086

Don't remember if this was the last patch for 1.2.5

 

Thanks mate. This is the problem I'm facing as well.

I think it would be fair to have a sticky somewhere, listing previous versions and patches in a chronological order so anybody could go from a fresh install to any specific version/fix. Going backwards doesn't seem to work perfectly...

If you 1.2.5 Ran Fine, then you updated and it stopped, then you reverted and it still doesnt run, the rollback commands in the update work fine.

 

You can update to a specific Version if you want.

 

ie the last version of DCS 1.2.5, I think was:

DCS_Updater.exe update 1.2.5.16508

 

 

 

 

If your Still having issues,

Only option left is to Uninstall, and re-install.

if that doesnt work, then something with your system is amiss, either Windows or Hardware wise.

I've also written elsewhere, but Skatezilla's remedy worked for me:

 

Start

Type CMD

Open Command Prompt.

Type: CD\

ENTER Key

Type: CD Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Bin\

ENTER Key

Type: DCS_updater.exe update 1.2.5

ENTER KEY

 

Did you try this? It's not clear from what you wrote

You can revert back to 1.2.5 I have 32 bit Vista and had the same problem, it won't load mission! GRRRR!! I found this post (below) and tried what he said, and it WORKED!!! I was so happy to have my DCS working again. But,(there's always a but), I had to add one thing. On the end of 1.2.5 , you must add .16508 so it reads 1.2.5.16508. It will make sense when you read the post. Hope this helps everyone who reads. Many thanks to 'Skatezilla' for posting.

Regards

unfortunately as a Steam user, no joy.

 

the files don't exist (because, Steam), and it isn't stored to the C: drive, except the ones that installed themselves there (non-core files). I don't even know if I want to take the time to revert a new install from a third party source, or wait it out for a newer update, as it is unplayable.

 

and I came here from Flight. had a nice time there, until Microsoft messed up and practically got rid of all their games for most people. fortunately I could reinstall, but there isn't much left of it. I guess I'm gonna be stuck in Hawaii for a while.

 

EDIT: there could be an alternative - Windows has an inherent feature now where you can restore files from a restore point, rather than doing a revert to restore point for the whole computer. haven't tried it yet, but it is theoreticlaly promising since Steam doesn't seem to have this feature, and the file seems to be excluded.
