FoxxyTrotty Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Players updating their DCS/steam client to latest patch (14 Feb - 2.5.6) will be unable to start DCS after update. ED is aware of this issue, so have temporarily rolled back the patch to 2.5.5 until able to resolve this issue. . . . . . . . Every module/ map except the dual winged joke.

SCPanda Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 May I ask approximately how long it will take to fix the issue with Steam versions? Days? Weeks? It's frustrating watching other players enjoying 2.5.6 while us steam players can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's frustrating watching other players enjoying 2.5.6 while us steam players can't. I feel your pain my friend. Estimates is it will be ready when it is ready. I am on steam to and suffering really bad patch fever. But I am also a developer of many years and when you hit a deployment bug like this you get stuck in trying to fix it. It could be small, it could be large and everyone is on your back to get it fixed ASAP. So let us all give the guys at Eagle Dynamics a little room. Let them crack the bug, test it, QA it and get it to us in their own sweet time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they will release a new update on Steam that has already fixed the bugs of the current 2.5.6 release. Maybe that is why it's taking a bit long right now. I'm glad they rolled back the Steam version to 2.5.5 so we can play at least. For some reason the 2.5.6 update on Steam that took place few days ago made the game unplayable (DCS.exe just kept crashing when I launch the game). Yes, let's keep patient and hope ED fix the bugs soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you patch on a Friday you will have to make an offering of Pizza and Coffee.
