So my prediction is it will be planned for April 29th, then there will be a last minute delay pushing it to the 30th and then it’s a toss-up as to whether they will make that or it will slip to the 1st because of more last-minute bugs unrelated to this map but perhaps the DTC causing CTDs. Heh, same 3 letters…

Notice how in short succession we’re getting mid-mission saves and the DTC. I reckon they finally got the thing to safely write to disc on the fly. Probably a necessity for the Dynamic Campaign game too.

I hope they can get it to do it in a way thag is compatible with paid scripted campaigns. Enjoying @reflected’s work will be so much easier with mid-mission saves.

Glad I offloaded my dedicated server to a different drive. Sheesh.

Glad I offloaded my games storage to a dedicated server! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

(I’m not kidding. I have moved my games storage to a fileserver rather than buy stupidly expensive disks for my gaming PC)

How does that work with the loading times? They are quite long already, not sure how much a NAS (?) will add to that.

Currently running my DCS install on the C drive (1 TB NVMe drive) but I only have 230GB spare on that, I have space for the map on a second 4TB SSD.

Can you run a map from a different drive to the ā€˜main’ DCS install?

Good question. I will say that I’ve seen significant improvement in this area since about, oh 18+ months ago. I load maps a LOT (testing things), on a 9YO PC (SSD helps here), FWIW.

Fur Sure. And there there’s what remains to be added to Iraq and Afghanistan (Northern). Musical drives has been a thing for me. Perhaps this year I may be able to afford a new rig gobs of storage space :person_shrugging:

Also FWIW, the latest build on my Win10, circa 2016 rig does NOT like running DCS and doing, well, much of anything else (running my code editor and/or debugger). Power off reboot has become a regular thing, it freezes the entire system that hard.
