Thick8 Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 1.2.7 installed into it's own folder. I've moved all my stuff that I need from the 1.2.6 install into it. Can i delete the original install or do I need to keep it? My 500Gb SSD is gitting kind of crowded.

cichlidfan Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 You probably should keep it, since (I am guessing a bit here) when 1.2.7 is released, it will be as an update to your 1.2.6 installation. Dumping 1.2.6 would mean a complete download and reinstall for the release of 1.2.7. Of course, that depends on how you operate. Personally, I always do a complete reinstall for any major release since it is usually faster to download everything than to use the autoupdater.

To be frank, you shouldn't have copied anything from your 1.2.6 install over to the 1.2.7 Open Beta install. The whole point is to use the updated version for testing in a vanilla state so that mods and other variables for a baseline crash are kept to a minimum. That being said, there's nothing to keep you from installing anything from v1.2.6 over into v1.2.7 Open Beta and if you wish to run v1.2.7 Open Beta as your primary DCS World version you are completely at liberty to do that if you wish. But please note any mods you are running if you encounter bugs or possible glitches when you make bug reports in the Open Beta feedback forum. Furthermore, you are supposed to check v1.2.6 for any bugs you may find in the v1.2.7 Open Beta prior to reporting them as new, since if the bug already exists in v1.2.6 and persists into v1.2.7 it has likely already been reported and should not be posted to the Open Beta Feedback forum. In any case, please do a very thorough forum search before reporting bugs to make certain they are indeed new issues. Like cichlidfan said, once v1.2.7 reaches a production state it will very likely auto-update over your existing v1.2.6 installation. If you don't have v1.2.6 installed, you will very likely need to download and install the full installers again. :pilotfly: Robert Sogomonian | Psyrixx website| e-mail | blog | youtube | twitter
Thick8 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Posted January 2, 2014 Thanks for the info guys. I don't have any mods other than the Helios and icontrol exports. And of course my controller profiles.
