1. DDz Quorum DD_Fenrir Posted January 25, 2023 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted January 25, 2023 Hey all, Just to remind you that up until a few minutes ago the DCS Stable Release version and the Open Beta versions were the exact same build number, so you could join an Open Beta server with a Stable Release client or vice versa. Because the Open Beta has been updated this will now change; those of you flying Stable will no longer be able to join the Open Beta server. This is a temporary arrangement, at some point the builds will converge again. Can I ask that those of you with both versions show those on Stable only some consideration and maybe put down your new shiny things for a mo and join them flying on Stable for assistance and company? Alternatively there are routes to convert your Stable build into the Open beta should you wish. Please just ask. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2. Administrators fruitbat Posted January 25, 2023 2. Administrators Share Posted January 25, 2023 6 minutes ago, Crash said: How big is the beta? Same as the stable give or take a few megs here or there if you install all your modules. Although to save space with my stable, I don't bother installing any of the other maps I've bought, as only need the caucuses to fly on the server. Maps take a lot of room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted January 26, 2023 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted January 26, 2023 Thanks to @fruitbat and the link to an excellent utility - I now have the Open Beta and have been able to connect to the server all ok. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 OK, I will bite, what is the easiest way to convert to beta? Open XR is now native in DCS and this would be a good incentive for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted January 26, 2023 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted January 26, 2023 Get this utility @Crash It was a breeze. All you do is install it to a new folder NOT the same one as your game. Point it at the game folder and the saved games folder. Click on Advanced options and select update to latest Open Beta version. Robert is now your fathers brother... You might also find its other features worthwhile as it can start up VR and stuff as well for you. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/134493-the-dcs-updater-gui-utility/#comment-134499 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators fruitbat Posted January 26, 2023 2. Administrators Share Posted January 26, 2023 Just as an fyi, you can use the same utility just as easily change a beta back to stable as well👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Got that and use it to select VR/pancake mode. I will try out this afternoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
