Eagle7907 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I don't intend to "beat a dead horse" on this topic, but how long will the open beta be? Would it be prudent to go ahead and install the beta or just wait for the official release?

cichlidfan Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 That would depend on whether you want to deal with beta bugs or not.

ENO Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 And keep in mind they lose a week of production over the holidays in Russia so it feels a bit longer than it really is. Fortunately I think a bunch of folks have been hard at work making certain that the devs have plenty to keep them busy on their return. I think that will be on the 9th. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_holidays_in_Russia "ENO" Type in anger and you will make the greatest post you will ever regret.

VapoR Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I think the current beta build of 1.2.7 is probably the most bug free out of any version I can remember. I would jump on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shein Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 The only thing turning me off to installing the 1.2.7 release is the separate install. I don't want to reconfigure all my graphical settings, hotas configs, etc. I'd rather just have it replace 1.2.6 Maybe next time, have the beta replace the previous version, but offer users a choice? Warn them it's beta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cichlidfan Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Copying config files frequently will work, unless your copy eliminates/breaks changes in the new version. It also can invalidate test results for that same reason.

Flagrum Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 There are still some, in my opinion, medium servere bugs and a few show stopping bugs (i.e. AI not working/starting for ground units --> broken missions). But I am somewhat impressed of how many bugs we were able to find and narrow down - especially concerning MP. I think, if this beta is over - and the necessary fixes are implemented :o) - we all will really have accomplished a lot. So, if it takes some time, let it take some time. Hopefully this will then give ED some maneuvering space to get to the, hrm, old bugs, too. :o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lxvanwyk Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I just hope the 127 release (updating 126) is not as big (12GB) as the seperate install. Bandwidth is an issue where I live. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docfu Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Just out of curiosity, is there an easy way to safely export and import keyboard/joysticks settings for aircraft?

The Open Beta is that big because it is the whole thing. When 1.2.6 updates to 1.2.7, it will be just like any other update, as big as it needs to be to accommodate the files that have changed.

sobek Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Everything else, including exploding ARMs, can be dealt with, but this makes it almost impossible to fly with many players over time. Which is not what you got it for. It's there to catch bugs, not to give you an enjoyable experience. 1 Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!

ED Team NineLine Posted January 8, 2014 ED Team Share Posted January 8, 2014 It is not recommended to copy any control settings from your 1.2.6 install, if something worked you got lucky. Old missions should be opened and re-saved in new version, controls should be reset from scratch. Then 1.2.6 and 1.2.7 use the same C:\user.........saved games folder? Couldn't you just drag and drop the setting lua into the new install? I dragged and dropped my P51 folder into 1.2.7 and had no issues. Training missions and all started up fine.
