Chris65 Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 Hey all; Just purchased BOS/K/Bon games, coming from CLOD. My question is thus, is there any way to only install one of the titles at a time? Right now it is taking a LONG time to download the 35GB which I assume is for all three titles, but I only wanted to play BOS right now to get my feet wet. I purchased the games at 15:12 and it is now 16:32 and it has just reached the 50% DL mark (10MB/sec). Cheers Chris
ShamrockOneFive Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 No, it's all one package. This has the obvious con of taking longer to install but it has a few pros too. When you do get it running, you have full multiplayer compatibility if/when you venture onto there and when you run across other aircraft that you may not own but that are also part of a single player scenario (this happens semi-often).
FuriousMeow Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 All of the content for all GB titles is in the one download, and its all one package. Purchasing additional titles just unlocks already downloaded content. 17GB in an hour twenty isn't really a LONG time.
Chris65 Posted January 30, 2022 Author Posted January 30, 2022 Thanks for the replies. I guess the best thing to do then is once the package is installed copy the entire contents to a backup drive so in the future I can just copy it to my working drive; this will work?
FuriousMeow Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 Copying does work, I've copied my install from/to several drives with no issues and have a backup copy on another drive just in case. Any updates between the copy and the next time you run that copy, though, will update to the latest version when the launcher is run. Can't really predict how much you'd have to update, but just a heads up that will occur.
Riderocket Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 i buy everything on the IL-2 webstore then use steam to download it and play it through opencomposite.
Chris65 Posted January 30, 2022 Author Posted January 30, 2022 Hey that is interesting about being able to buy here and DL'd on Steam. All my other digital games have been purchased on Steam but I decided to purchase these three here since with exchange rate USD-Cdn and Steam's Cdn price were the same. I guess I just have to register the game with Steam. Thanks for the tip. Chris

I think you can link account if you bought BOS on steam (because every other module is considered DLC) or maybe you can link any account? I'm not too sure. But when I did it they gave me a steam code to activate from my account on the website.
Chris65 Posted January 30, 2022 Author Posted January 30, 2022 Nope didn't purchase BOS on Steam but I will mess with it although I am not sure if Steam DL'd faster then 1c does. I still have IL-2 BAT on my system, will jettison it since it is taking up 90gb of space. Also just DL'd F16 Falcon BMS which is a free jet sim, have to love with the community resurrects and improves a product, you just need the original EXE for F16.
jollyjack Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 Almost every game i have that needs steam: within little time it will be literally come out of my ears ... various reasons.
