ChubbyTheBear4 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) So I saw the Terrain in the module manager when I launch the game. However, when the module goes to install I get an error. The error is "Unknown Module PERSIAN_GULF_terrain" here is the log: === Log opened UTC 2018-05-23 14:08:45 INFO : DCS_Updater/2.6.25.40 (Windows NT 10.0.17134; Win64; en-US) INFO : cmdline: "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\DCS_updater.exe" --apply install PERSIAN_GULF_terrain STATUS: Initializing...

Wayan Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 You need to use the open Beta Version, you are using 2.5.0 stable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChubbyTheBear4 Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 You need to use the open Beta Version, you are using 2.5.0 stable How would I do that without having to completely reinstall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dburne Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Also you need to update your DCS World Open Beta install first with this morning's update, prior to trying to install the actual PG map.

MrDieing Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=160053 A nifty tool that makes it really easy to switch between Open Beta and Release. This way it does not require a complete reinstall, but you have some updates to do, since the Release branch is now effectively 2 updates 'behind' and then there is the PG map. Good luck.

Flogger23m Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 How do I update my beta install? I am clicking on the updater but it merely launches the game. I downloaded the beta version last night. No PG icon in the main menu or module manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender_39 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Maybe you are doing something wrong, or to double check search for an Tutorial how to manual update. It works like Revelation wrote.... I also did it in the past and it worked kind regards Bender_39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revelation Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 The end of the command should be update @openbeta Only if he is switching between versions; I'm assuming that he has already read the many other threads and downloaded the right version already.

Revelation Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Yes this is the open beta version which I downloaded last night. Did you update it this morning? There was an update for the updater and an update to DCS World Open Beta v2.5.2.xxx.

Updater showed no updates when I ran it or loaded the beta. I am trying Skatezilla's utility and it seemed to have forced the beta to update, 8GB update downloading. Hopefully this is it.

Then there will be the Persian Gulf download from Module Manager ( app 15 GB download ).

Flogger23m Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) Nope that is the DCS World first update. Then there will be the Persian Gulf download from Module Manager ( app 15 GB download ). Downloaded both. Lots of performance issues and I recall reading something about removing config files from an older build. I had a beta install years back with a config file. So I renamed the entire DCS.openbeta folder in: C:\Users\USERNAME\Saved Games Now the problem is when I try and log into the game I can't. My user name and password are invalid, but they worked last night. It still works for my release version. Any suggestions? Edit: Finally worked.
