v06.12.2020.1 / 1.1.0.1033:
-Disabled Updater Server Check (Re-coding for new servers).

The Server Check is what causes long load time on startup

Hey @SkateZilla DCS Updater doesn’t see my modules anymore. Only the Su25T…
I tried “Scan/Re Scan for installed modules” to no avail.

As you can see it is pointing at the right folder, because it finds both the right O.B. build…
I tried to change it to a wrong folder and back to the right one but the behaviour persist.

It is updated too, as far as I can tell…

EDIT: needless to say it doesn’t find also the terrains of campaigns…

@komemiute

its not updated, its 2 builds out of date at least.
looks like build 1031 or earlier.

1032 Changed File Scanning for modules, and custom user profile path on settings screen.
(Which isnt in your screenshot).

1033 disabled updater servers check as ED has discontinued use of them and moved to a CDN.
(your screenshots show partial for dcs server status, meaning its pining the indiv. servers still).

1033 is the latest build.

Build should be visible bottom left of home screen.

no worries, its what Im here fore.

i miss the auto update ability but it was poorly written by myself and I had server/deploying issues.

Best course of action was to discontinue the auto updating process, and remove it from the core completely until I can completely rewrite it.

ED’s Forum Upgrade has wiped the Versions table and links to downloads/attachments at this time.

Will keep ya’ll updated.

I have yet to see a forum upgrade, save the recent one here at Mudspike, go smoothly and even it had a few minor glitches. Every single time I have seen it done in the past elsewhere something or just about everything gets messed up and quite often the damage done during the upgrade is irreparable.

We were lucky here…we had the best team working on it with @fearlessfrog and @Fridge collaborating. I brought tea and cookies.

Lol, that is definitely an important task!

And I did absolutely nothing, which probably was the best contribution of all…

Well…I did…I did spill some of the tea…

Ok… Since we’re sharing…
I ate the cookies. @Fridge is innocent.
