Dagger71 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 I cannot play on 1.26 (ticket sent and thread open). I would like to downgrade back to 1.25 but cannot find the archive patches on this site Is there a mirror site which would still have this file? On DCS page "Previous versions" only gives access to 1.1.1.1 version and "Patch archive" only has access to Patch from 1.1.2.0 to 1.1.2.1 for DCS: World (English)

Dagger71 Posted September 16, 2013 Author Posted September 16, 2013 Bin\ folder doesn't have it I don't have the 1.25 install files anywhere on this pc anymore. Looking for an archive mirror location if anyone knows.

This will start the updater program and it will download all 1.2.5 files for DCSW and Modules installed, and downgrade you to the latest version of 1.2.5 misread the post. I thought there would be a file named 1.25. I am now forcing a downgrade and will post if it works. I really appreciate you taking the time and setting me straight! If it doesn't work I'll be back to retract my last statement (joking!)
SkateZilla Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 its a good idea to rename your /Saved Games/DCS/ folder as well, as some of the Controls changed from 1.2.5 to 1.2.6 Windows 10 Pro, Ryzen 2700X @ 4.6Ghz, 32GB DDR4-3200 GSkill (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR x2), ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate, XFX RX6800XT Merc 310 (RX-68XTALFD9) 3x ASUS VS248HP + Oculus HMD, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS + MFDs
Picksplitter Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) hey folks.... another option... do a system restoral to a date previous to the 1.2.6 update... it worked for me! I innocently 'gafingerpoked' an o.k. to 1.2.6 and instantly regretted it... nothing seemed to work. Reverted back to 1.2.3.... which I seem to have figured out... back to where everything works on my Hawg... :music_whistling: Don't get me wrong... I am a die hard DCS fan, but.... just say no to upgrades.... I'm still puck shy of 1.2.4.... :helpsmilie:but then again, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer... 273 hours / 356 landings and still crashing....

JayPee Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Dagger17, it does work for sure. I did it as well. Install a full 1.2.6 DCSW + modules. Then run DCS_updater.exe with the -update 1.2.5 parameter. You can either make a shortcut and put the parameter in the path, or just Win+R and type in the path. Path should look like: "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Bin\DCS_updater.exe" -update 1.2.5 Unless you've changed it, obviously.Note, you need to place the closing quotation mark " directly after the file extension, prior to the space and dash of the parameter. i7 4790K: 4.8GHz, 1.328V (manual) MSI GTX 970: 1,504MHz core, 1.250V, 8GHz memory
FLANKERATOR Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) There is Interceptor's archive available online if you don't like to roll DCS back. You could download from scratch and install a second version in a different directory and leave 1.2.6 intact ready for future updates. 1.2.4 is probably the most stable version for multiplayer so I think it would be a good idea to install it separately.

SkateZilla Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 These instructions need to be in a sticky.. this question is asked after every patch.. as there is always someone who needs/wants to roll back. I'm preparing a Post in that regards for sticky, just have to test the methods before I post (which I cant do from my office) Windows 10 Pro, Ryzen 2700X @ 4.6Ghz, 32GB DDR4-3200 GSkill (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR x2), ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate, XFX RX6800XT Merc 310 (RX-68XTALFD9) 3x ASUS VS248HP + Oculus HMD, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS + MFDs
