Weekend news:
Since the release of 2.5 DCS World, the team has been hard at work addressing issues identified during the Open Beta process. In this sense, the Open Beta has been a great success and will result in a better finished product. Many issues have already been addressed like night lighting and Spitfire damage model, but we still have a few issues that we need to resolve before we can move DCS World 2.5 out of Open Beta. Some of these issues include a memory leak after starting several missions and more efficient shader compilation* for first time mission loads.
So they have been very excited when addressing issues and they will get this success story to a finished release soon and they also have done better damage model to Spitfire, which obviously was priority #1.
I can't believe I was worried, silly me.
* that wasn't in the OB and has nothing to do with current issues
Got to admire they brainwashing technique, now all they need to do is to get rid of customers' brains.

Even the 'stable branch' is lacking an update since 24/01/18
The point of the stable branch is that you don't update it very often. Don't expect an update to the stable branch as long as there are blocking issues in the open beta branch.

What "stable branch"? You mean 1.5.8? Wasn't that supposed to be abandoned now that 2.5 is out?

Yet in the 2.5 thread , numerous backers of the 'world' saying that 2.5 is open beta and people should not be complaining about bugs in the 'open beta' release... No love given to 1.5** since January.....yet from this point on practically weekly updates right up to the release of 2.5OB. Not the same love given to the OB considering that this it is meant to be the 'brain child' of the merge between 2.0 Nevada and 1.5?

You can't necessarily draw conclusions on the amount of work being poured into a branch from the frequency of updates being released. Sometimes things take longer to develop, sometimes they don't. The current memory leak seems pretty hard to fix.

It just blows me away that the memory leak only suddenly appeared with the 2.5 Beta, even though they've been using it internally as 2.3 for over a year. It may or may not have been there. C++ is a very unforgiving language when it comes to memory management and they could potentially have introduced the leak at any point in development, even shortly before release.

It may or may not have been there. It may or it may have not! Who knows? ED surely doesn't!

Looks like the Tango found himself a new job at ED.....obviously he is not happy that he has not been paid this month as Wags had to make way for the NineLiner who is now on the Pay roll.... Just pay the man, like VEAO failed to do and the memory leak would be fixed pronto

It may or it may have not! Who knows? Exactly. Surely the accusations made in this thread should be based on hard facts, instead they are based personal feelings.

Makes for less than intelligent discussions for sure. This type of stuff really dumbs down the conversation AND these guys say ED think their customers are stupid. It's funny

Well, you were the one that said it may or may not have been present in any period of time; thus it was you that had no facts. Fact is there is a memory leak issue. Fact is you can't even tell if it was present long before or just before 2.5 Beta release. Oh, the irony! Makes for less than intelligent discussions for sure. This type of stuff really dumbs down the conversation AND these guys say ED think their customers are stupid. It's funny As opposed to this "intelligent disucssion"?? I know this game sucks but it does get a bit wearisome to hear how bad it sucks It worked well in the IL2: Battle of Stalingrad forum Oh, the irony!

You must have gotten confused there. I didn't state as fact that ED did not know of the memory leak issue. If i did, i would indeed have to prove it. I didn't, so i don't. I merely pointed out that there is no way for STORM to know whether ED knew of the memory leak prior to 2.5 open beta or not. I didn't raise any accusations, there's nothing i need to prove. Rather it is up to STORM to prove that ED were aware of said problem if he wants to accuse ED of bad intent. The whole discussion raised by STORM is nonsensical, because we don't have any facts.

Let's see what we do know: there is a memory leak. We agree on that, right? So either ED **KNEW** there was a memory leak and released it anyway, or ED **DID NOT KNOW** there was a memory leak and released 2.5 Open Beta. There is no third option. So you can pick either bad intent or incompetence. You want facts on either one? Go knock on ED's door but I doubt they'll have any answers, or if they do, I doubt they'll be in a sharing mood. So here we have reasonable assumptions based on the fact that we do have. Take your pick.

The memory leak has been introduced since a patch made to 2.2. Ya know, the stuttering issues in NTTR/Normandy? So yes, I do believe that it has been present in the build PRIOR to 2.5 being released, based on my and several other's reports of the same issues that began in the 2.0 build and continued through it.
See the problem lies with people like you Sobek, that come to ED's defense at every mention that there is a legit discrepancy. The excuse of "its Beta" is crap when it comes to this type of issue. I'd expect some features not working or missing, but when you cripple the playability of the core game in both SP and MP, you've got some serious problems that just didnt appear overnight. The ED forum has turned into a "Sanctuary State" where nothing negative can be reported and acknowledged. 3rd Party devs are safe to ignore their obligations to their customers and if the customers speak out, that joke of a Community Manager shuts down the customer. He even called it a safe area.
So the hard evidence is there, even though you choose to ignore it. I'm not speaking just to #%&*$# about something, I just want the core to be usable. And with as much money that I've sunk into the modules and maps, I'm a paying customer that expects a product to be functional in a reasonable amount of time. So far, this hasnt been the case.
