danvac Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Beta has public version, not "closed" betas. All can download release and open beta on DCS World pages and Steam. Ok, let me reword it... they should announce release to version named release not "open beta". Not everyone wants to be ED's honorary tester and open beta can be broken so they cannot even fully enjoy it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_Dragon Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) Ok, let me reword it... they should announce release to version named release not "open beta". Not everyone wants to be ED's honorary tester and open beta can be broken so they cannot even fully enjoy it there. The "releases" always coming first on open beta and after on releases. That has coming from 2013. About dont has "honorary tester", you can: 1- Use only DCS World "release" version 2- Waiting to "out of early access" modules to use them.

danvac Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) @Silver_Dragon, you are not getting point... that's fine updates are going to open beta first. Check marketing video: Do you see there any word it's just for testing/open beta release? If someone just plays stable never reads forum and sees that video how could he know? Do you think it would be that big problem for ED to add there somewhere words "just for open beta"? Edited April 27, 2020 by danvac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it would be that big problem for ED to add there somewhere words "just for open beta", so you are defending it?I think that is a fair point. It is understandable why the updates need to go through open beta first - it would potentially add a lot of work making new updates compatible with older builds and the potential to break it. Yet it should be clear that it will become available on stable at the next stable update (when open beta testing is complete). That milestone isn't completed until then. Otherwise it is also understandable people get confused.

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted April 23, 2020 ED Team Share Posted April 23, 2020 Updates will always go to open beta first, this is how the development cycle goes. What we have currently with a troublesome open beta has had a knock on effect for the stable version, as soon as we are happy with open beta and have resolved the big issues we will update stable version.

aleader Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I always chuckle on forums when someone doesn't understand something and a bunch of die-hard, 7,000 post guys (you are the MINORITY of players of most games) get on here and tell him that it's 'obvious' and people that ask questions are 'nitwits'...seriously, get a life (the guys calling people names on GAME forums). It's a minority of guys that are jerks, but it turns people away. I've been playing this game a while now and just recently realized that some modules are only available in open beta (when I first tried the JF 17 free trial...cue 'you're a moron then because you don't spend all day on forums and live and breath DCS'). I figured it out myself, but could have just as easily asked on the forums...as that's what forums are for are they not? Asking questions? The F16 is apparently early access (as are a lot of the modules), but is available on stable (where I play too as the beta is such a stuttering sh@tshow right now). The only modules I'm aware of that are on open beta only are the JF 17 and the WW2 assets pack (if you want the new stuff). That is not OBVIOUS to the average person that plays this casually, and ED should shoulder some of the blame. I've seen several erroneous sentences in the descriptions, especially on the Steam pages (i.e. open beta is required when it hasn't been for nearly 2 years). I could tell from the original post in this thread that the guy wasn't on open beta. Could have been a one-answer thread. It's unfortunate that it's in the state that it is as I won't/can't try out the additional assets and the JF 17 because of the FPS issues. "I mean, I guess it would just be a guy who you know, grabs bananas and runs. Or, um, a banana that grabs things. Why would a banana grab another banana? I mean, those are the kind of questions I don't want to answer." - Michael Bluth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Are you on the open beta version? The asset pack update was only released for 2.5.6 If you are on the 2.5.5 stable editions, the new units will be missing. Thank you for a straight answer. :thumbup: I can wait.
