ED Team BIGNEWY Posted November 7, 2019 ED Team Share Posted November 7, 2019 i know we all like updates to fix stuff, but does it have to be so frequent? couldnt it be done once a month or so, it gets really frustrating having to keep reinstalling mods everytime there is an update. Hi We have been very busy and the updates have been coming fast, but open beta is our public test version, which is used for this purpose. If you would like less frequent updates but larger ones the stable version is probably the best option. We hope to have news soon about the stable version update, when we do we will post it in our newsletter and change log. Thank you. Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Arctander Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 No mods, no problem...:smilewink: Well; if ED would hurry up with the Datacard ability so I can have my hornet countermeasures set up properly every time, I wouldn’t need to use the one mod I do use... ;-) Any news on that BigNewy, it looked fairly well defined when it was teased in Springtime, down to the UI being done...?

Rudel_chw Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 No mods, no problem...:smilewink: When updating, the Mods that are installed on /Saved Games/ (which are the majority) are of no concern. Only the Mods that go onto the /Eagle Dynamics/ folder need to be deactivated prior to an Update ... and for that job there exist Mod Managers, that can deactivate all Mods on a few seconds ... and reactivate them after the Update is done.

Recommend OvGME or JSGME. I think OvGME is available from Hoggitworld. Both apps do the same thing and will make dealing with updates tons easier.

I flew offline mostly for a decent time and used stable, which was updated maybe once a month. I used mods etc. Now I fly online mostly and beta is where it’s at, and use no mods at all.

Mars Exulte Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 It's the way it is because people complained about infrequent updates. Also, as others said, this is a user error issue. Decline updates if you don't want them or alternatively use a mod manager and/or learn how to use the saved games method properly (this is specifically why that stuff is there, in your user directory) Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
