SharpeXB Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 DCS was automatically updating when I started it last night, then had to quit. Now it will not auto update when I click on the desktop icon. Is there another way? i9-14900KS | ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO | 64GB DDR5 5600MHz | iCUE H150i Liquid CPU Cooler | ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 4090 OC | Windows 11 Home | 2TB Samsung 980 PRO NVMe | Corsair RM1000x | LG 48GQ900-B 4K OLED Monitor | CH Fighterstick | Ch Pro Throttle | CH Pro Pedals | TrackIR 5
sobek Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Start->All Programs->Eagle Dynamics->DCS World->Update DCS World The launcher logs the time since it last checked for new versions and will only check again after more than 24h. With the above link, you can force the the updater to check for new versions regardless of time since last check. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
cichlidfan Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 The reason it was not updating after the initial attempt is that the updater only checks when at least 24 hours have elapsed after the last run time.

Nascar Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 My launcher is in DCS World > bin. When I clicked on it, it started to update. I had the game open by accident and it couldn't update because the files were in use. Now if I click on the update file it opens up the game launcher instead. Will it reset itself after 24 hours or is the file corrupt?

Nascar Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 I do not see that option. By start menu entry, do you mean the page that has the instant action, campaign, module manager options? I just started playing again after a computer upgrade. My version doesn't have an option to update on that page.

Lobo_63 Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Start->All Programs->Eagle Dynamics->DCS World->Update DCS World Trying to update DCS world from 1.2.4.12913. I am attempting update via the above method. Will not update for me... I am getting the following message: "Update servers cant handle your request please try again later." Have been trying for the last several days, tried early, tried late, tried again just now. Always getting the same message... please try again later. Thoughts? :joystick: Thanks!
