deltatango Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I spent hours trying to follow the instructions to get JSGME to work as per instructions in help files distributed with some DCE missions. Then gave up on JSGME. Then found this megathread on how to use JSGME (it's the first thing that comes up when you google "JSGME DCS") and spent more hours trying to follow that, only to get to the end of that thread to find that JSGME no longer works with DCS as JSGME is 32bit and therefore doesn't support files larger than 2Gb. Also, that generic pdf that gets distributed with DCE campaigns is bloody hard to follow with strange formatting and non-standard file paths mentioned throughout. I just want to spend more time flying the beautiful user-created content and less time in windows explorer. I also want butter that tastes like butter. Cheers, DT Junior Member for over 6 years.

Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 In case you *need* a mod manager for that content, you could try OvGME. That one works, at least.

feefifofum Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I have never encountered a single file of that size in many years playing with mods. While JSGME may occasionally appear to hang with larger mod directories I have found that it will complete the transfer if you simply leave it alone. Don't obsessively click on it a hundred times when the bar stops moving, don't cancel and restart a thousand times, don't try to resize the window or drag it around etc. If you have found yourself unable to resist fiddling with it and the "program has stopped responding" message appears, clicking wait and leaving it alone will still allow it to resolve the transfer. For chuckles, I just used it to enable an 18GB mod package without issue (though I will not make any claim of speed or efficiency.) As Raven suggests, however, OvGME is an update of the concept with several quality of life improvements. https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/OVGME THE GEORGIAN WAR - OFFICIAL F-15C DLC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s lots of really old “how to’s” that still work fine. Usually they get updated by the OP or deleted. This one was stickied until just recently. 2. Instructions to use JSGME are being distributed right now with campaigns just released. 3. That thread is the first thing that comes up when you Google “DCS JSGME”. I understand that some of the instructions may be out of date, but not the entire program. Cheers, DT Junior Member for over 6 years. Difference between Ordinance and Ordnance. My X-52 Pro Profile.
