Hook47 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Even after updating I can't get the module to install because it says I am still using 1.2.8 :/ Would have preferred them to just wait until tomorrow if it would have meant releasing without so many annoying bugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furia Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Have you tried a repair on your DCS World? What is your actual DCS World version? [sIGPIC]http://menorca.infotelecom.es/~raulurbina/ESA/banner_furia.png[/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am asking because when I tried to install F86 Sabre, it worked for DCS world, but not DCS world open beta (although I had updated both to version 1.2.9) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Intel Core I7 4820K @4.3 GHz, Asus P9X79 motherboard, 16 GB RAM @ 933 MHz, NVidia GTX 1070 with 8 GB VRAM, Windows 10 Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook47 Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 I bought and downloaded the module, I launched DCS world and was promted to updated to 1.2.9. It downloaded and appeared to install correctly. I then tried to install the Sabre module, and that was my first sign of trouble... Installer said I was still on 1.2.8. I launched the game and the bottom right still says 1.2.8.27915, but there is a F-86 icon now... Wtf.... Also I have tried running the updater again (it just pops up for a second then dissappears), running repair, and even trying DOS commands. Extremely frustrated... EDIT: also I've never messed with the beta stuff so I am assuming I am using the normal version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furia Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 To run the module you need to have the 1.2.9 30604 version in your DCS World. So if you installed the Sabre on top of 1.2.8 it is creating a problem now. Check on the modlue manager if the F-86 is installed. If so, Unistall it using the basket symbol Then close DCS restart it again and try a trpair and then an update. Only when you have managed to upgrade your DCS World t0 1.2.9. 30604 try to install the module. I recommend using the Module manager for downloading and installing the Module [sIGPIC]http://menorca.infotelecom.es/~raulurbina/ESA/banner_furia.png[/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkateZilla Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) Try to revert to the previous 1.2.8 Open Beta Version, then force update to 1.2.9 Open Beta So: Type: dcs_updater.exe update <branch>:<version.subversion> dcs_updater.exe update openbeta:1.2.8.27915 Then Delete the F-86F folder from the /Mods/ Folder if present. Then Type: dcs_updater.exe update <branch>:<version.subversion> dcs_updater.exe update openbeta:1.2.9.30604 Then Type: DCS_Updater.exe install <module> DCS_Updater.exe install F-86F (Note, I'm assuming the ID is F-86F, I am not at home so I cant confirm it., Logging into Module Manager once you have updated to v1.2.9 successfully should allow you to install from there too).

SkateZilla Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) something is stopping you from updating to 1.2.9 or you're launching the wrong shortcut make sure you dont have any Virus Scanners or anything blocking the update process from running.

Hook47 Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 something is stopping you from updating to 1.2.9. make sure you dont have any Virus Scanners or anything blocking the update process from running. I don't have anything running at all, brand new PC with a totally clean HD. And the 1.2.9 update is going through like everything is fine. ED and BST have jacked something up here, because this isn't working right... I REALLY would prefer not to have to do a reinstall and waste key activations on this mess.

SkateZilla Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 if it's listing 1.2.8 in the bottom right of your main menu, then it's not updating. There should be an Update.Log somewhere, that might tell you what the issue is (I'm in office so I am not at my PC to check).

Thomasew Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) Hi, The problem, .. as I see it, .. is that the F-86 installer is kinda crippled, .. in that, .. it will ONLY allow you to install in the DCS World folder, .. and not the DCS World Openbeta folder. You can't even point it to the DCS World Openbeta folder, .. as the installer keeps wanting to append \DCS World to it .. so you end up with \Eagle Dynamics\DCS World Openbeta\DCS World ... My DCS World is sitting at Vers. 1.2.6 .. whereas my DCS World Openbeta is sitting at Vers. 1.2.9 What I did was rename my DCS World folder to something else, .. then renamed my DCS World Openbeta .. to DCS World. The F-86 installed normally, .. and once it was completed, .. I renamed my folders back to the way they where. .. make sense? Try renaming your folders etc. etc. ...

Leo Showers Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Forcing our installers to work with Steam-based DCS is a wrong idea. But I'm confused, the files which it uses are exactly the same. Perhaps their should be a disclaimer that the Steam and ED installations are incompatible, even if the games are the exact same version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
