Multiple installs are not possible with Steam, though.

 

So you would need to remove all mods then select the beta branch to get a useful beta experience. :)

 

 

Thank you, you're an angel Psyrixx - beta coming down via the Steam option at 10 MB/S :)

You know ,I'm gonna flood you with logs, tracks and dumps with this beta, hope you got the time.

Well actualy I hope I'll have nothing to report :)

 

Bring it on!

 

Actually yeah... no issues would be better... but MP stability is a goal, and servers like yours I hope can help us out!

[Psyrixx]

you shouldnt need to just like you dont remove mods when updating, since it overwrites everything that isnt from the actual game.

 

It's a good idea to sanitize your beta install just to be sure.

Happy to help!

But it still would be good practice as this would reduce the amount of data that has to be downloaded for the beta.

No servers... :-(

[plhought]

So do we have beta module installers we need to install after the fact or is the Beta automatically just recognizing what we have in our stock DCS install...

AND ITS DONE..... lets go flying !!:pilotfly:

Give the server ops time to get set up :)

As has been stated many many times:

Please use the in-game module manager to install your modules.

 

1. Open the game.
   
2. Select Module Manager from the right hand menu.
   
3. Log in using your dcs-world.com credentials.
   
4. Manager should prompt you that you have several modules to install.
   
5. Click "OK".
   
6. Modules will install into DCS World 1.2.7 Open Beta Automagically.
   
7. Enjoy!

Did you chose the option to copy the files from your current install?

I don't see this option. It says "Downloading update..." and is going at ~0.5MB/s, which isn't fast enough to be copying from a RAID 10 to the same RAID 10, right?

Super.... now i can hope for a 30player event to be reality :)

Better get on with adding voice to the translation :)

Is the Beta on Steam's Servers too?

Sounds like there is a beta branch on steam also.

Yes. Plagiarized from FearlessFrog:

 

1. Find DCS World in your Steam library

 

2. Right mouse click and access the 'Properties' menu (it's on the bottom of the list).

 

3. Click the 'Beta' tab on the dialog that comes up.

 

4. Select the beta 'openbeta - Public beta versions'.

 

Steam will now update.

CA 1 2 7 Beta: how to get it?

 

Hello,

 

I downloaded Beta test version. Combined arms not showing as bought product. I bought it on Steam.

How can I download and activate the 1 2 7 version ? (I have the Steam key and it is working in 1 2 6).

 

Thanks

It does this by itself at the beginning of the download. It just takes a few seconds, because it is much faster than download obviously.

After copying is finished it will download the new 1.2.7 stuff I assume.

I am updating the VA server as I type but the download is very slow at the moment

Thanks for the followup Matt. :)

Try installing through the module manager (see main menu screen).

Good to hear! Thank you for providing one of the best servers out there! :thumbup:

[gavagai]

In the main menu, click on module manager, log in with the account from DCS.com (not here) and then install the modules you want. It's pretty easy.

 

Thank you!

[ebabil]

i use the installer and it says more than 12.000 mb. is that right?

and if yes, it was downloaded less than an hour. but my network speed is just 3 megabit.

how is that possible?

[KPX2012]

I tried via module manager. The only link I have is "Buy" and if I follow it,I am redirected to the download page for version 1.2.6 of CA.

 

My other modules were correctly downloaded and installed.

 

Thanks for helping.
