Wizard_03 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Steam to DCS to open Beta So this may be a dumb question, but last week I finally got around to moving from steam to standalone DCS (told myself I'd do it before 1.5 comes out, I've had it on steam for a couple years now) Anyways the move went great Got all my modules moved over fine, keys all worked. Now my question, I downloaded DCS open beta, because I want access to 1.5 and NTTR right when they come out. However I need to move my modules from DCSW to DCSW open beta. Am I able to just copy and paste the files from the folder from one install to another then reactive or do I need to go ahead and download all the modules again and change the path to the DCS open beta files when I download them from ED site. See the problem is I cannot use the modules manager as all the modules I have were from Steam, and I would rather avoid downloading all the units again as my internet is quite slow. Anyways hope I don't sound like a nut :D any advice would be appreciated. DCS F/A-18C :sorcerer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiJack Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 You don't move anything, just install the Open Beta and go in to the module manager and all your modules will list under "Installable" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txmtb Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) If you don't want to download everything again, don't blame you, just install the DCS World openbeta with no modules. Then copy your regular DCS World folder files over to it. Then follow the guide here, http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030, to covert that install to the openbeta. It's the the last section of the first post in that thread. You can also just convert your current install over to the openbeta if space is a concern.

Wizard_03 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Yeah they are not there unfortunately, I have everything in DCS but Hawk and C-101 and the only thing under Installable in the open beta is the SU-25 DCS F/A-18C :sorcerer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacker Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I just did something similar ready for the Beta - no issues really. Just installed the base DCS World Beta, started it up and went to the module manager, logged in and then installed all my modules. Because most of the data was already on disk from the released version the installation just copied most of it over. i7-4790K@4.7GHz : EVGA 1070 SC : 16GB Corsair Vengence Pro : 2xEVO 840 SSD : EVGA 850W PSU : CORSAIR H100i Cooler : ASUS Z97-AR MB : CORSAIR OBSIDIAN 750D FULL TOWER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll try uninstalling the open beta and reinstalling it, but that was the last thing I installed. All of the modules should have already been on the disk when I installed the open beta, as I made the move from steam a week or so and I only just barley tried the open beta.

DimitryNZ Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Can you drag and drop steam DCS files to non-steam DCS? First off, apologies if this question has been asked before. I'm currently converting from steam DCS to non-steam DCS and I've seen that most people deactivate and uninstall modules from their steam DCS and then install the modules from the DCS store and reactivate them that way. My question is, is that entirely necessary? I tried copying the module files directly from the steam directory and then pasting them in my non-steam Eagle Dynamics folder and the modules seem to work fine. Am I doing anything wrong or is this a fine way of converting? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Gimp Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I don't think the deactivation has anything to do with the installed modules since DCS stand-alone will recognise them as installed--just not activated. Meanwhile, because the standalone requires a log-in to activate said modules, you will need to change the various key's to an ED account, as it no longer uses Steam as its authorisation. Bottom line is, from my experience, I was able to start the stand-alone install, copy the files from steam, and then let the installer find those files and everything installed just fine; however, I did have to edit a file to allow the module manager to activate. After that I associated the keys to my ed account without de-activation and everything seems to work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

domini99 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 A question, if I want to make the transfer to standalone from steam, can I just use the keys from the modules I bought on Steam and use them like that in module manager or doesn't that work?

domini99 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Yes. From Steam to standalone works. Okay that's cool. I might still use Steam to pursache the modules (no credit card required) but transfer to the standalone to use the open beta without activation issues and my "stable" game being overwritten by the beta.

domini99 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I'm sorry to keep asking... But if I select the openbeta option in Steam and it installs DCS 1.5 when it gets released, can I simply revert back to stable release by unchecking this option or will this give major trouble with settings and modules?
