Vitormouraa Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I guess everything will be fine with this new OB version, and by the way, the 1.5.6 looks promising, there are a few bugs that need a fix. 1 SplashOneGaming Discord https://splashonegaming.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paveway333 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Having a little issue trying to get release version to open beta, tried using Skate´s GUI and also CMD. It run's the updater as usual but I'm still in "release" when i open autoupdate.cfg. Right know I'm in stable "1.5.5.60565.216" and as Open Beta is also in "1.5.5.60565.216" I'm guessing that the updater believes I'm running the latest version and therefor won't update.

Pikey Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Thanks for the heads up on this, I have a day to convert live to OB for the early access Viggen and it's going to be minimal fuss and effort. OB will be much better than the current live by all accounts also, given some issues with it. Thanks to ED for actually telling people this time round, that's well noticed here, and shame for the folks that find this too hard to do, I'm sure if it's that important your choice will be your choice and no one elses as there are choices to be made. 1 ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayindi Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 @Paveway not 100 % sure, but I think that the OB version and the Stable version are currently exactly the same. You are just on the OB branch now, which means that you will see the update tomorrow while you wouldnt see it if you are on the stable branch. Right now I would assume that everything is fine.

Correct. Exactly this. Open beta and stable release branch are identical atm, but that will change tomorrow and will probably last till next Friday I guess (it usally takes one week from beta release for the new version to become available on the stable branch. Usally not allways!).

NeilWillis Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 That's the way I read it too QuiGon. Usually no more than a week before it goes to stable - unless of course they add more features, and maintain a Beta branch for longer. Just take a deep breath guys, and don't fret. Come Friday, you'll be past caring about which branch it's on, as long as you can figure out how to get it into the air. Probably a minimum of 2 years work culminating in tomorrow's release, and all some people can do is moan about a technicality! Thanks to Cobra and the team, we will have another module.

Paveway333 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Thanks guys! I know I would see an update tomorrow if Im in the right branch... But for now my autoupdate.cfg says "Release", Uboats mentioned it should read "open beta".

splash Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 We're listening, and will be thinking about options, and if they are feasible. For now, assume only 1.5.6 Open Beta, however. And please you crazy folks; let's chill out a little! :) I think it's very normal to release for OpenBeta as it's in early access state. I'd like to fly in NTTR but I understand the situation and that you depend on ED for the updates. It looks a fantastic module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuiGon Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) thanks....for now the updater tells me that everything is up to date... Which it is. There is no difference between Open Beta and Stable Release branch as of today ;) For the current version of the different branches see here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2249076&postcount=2 Current Versions (As Of 12/28/2016): The Current Release Version is : 1.5.5.60565 The Current Open Beta Version is 1.5.5.60565 The Current Open Alpha Version is: 2.0.4.59428.134 Open Beta branch will change to 1.5.6 tomorrow. Stable Release branch will probably follow a week later.

jjohnson241 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I guess I'm old school. I have the three versions of DCS, i.e., Stable, BETA and Alpha NTTR 2.0, as separate installs on one of my SATA 3 7200rpm HDD's. I run the DCS Updater for each install from the Start menu. I've never had a problem updating or "selecting" each version. SSD? Running from the SATA HDD, I get frame rates above 45 on all three versions. That's with an I7 6700K, 32gb ram and a GTX 1070. And no worries regarding SSD capacity or maintenance. I can remember when LNS was concerned about providing a copy of the MIG 21BIS for the BETA version of DCS. I recall the beta copy of the MIG was counted as an authorized copy against the maximum copy of 10. My, have times changed. I'm ready for the 27th. I'll just update my BETA copy, jump in the Viggen and try to learn Swedish. :joystick: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 3rd Mar Div RVN '66-'67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
