Post your initial thoughts here .....

And Adam Breed said that there would be plenty of notice before the release. That was a good surprise. 

Wow - that came out of the blue!! Thanks for the heads up Paul!

It is odd that after running the patch, under help in the menu bar, I read 2.2.10437.  and NOT 2.3.xxx

Yes that is odd. Mine is "calculating space requirements". Never ever used a patch which takes so long as P3D to get it together and patch the dang thing.

It is also odd that my Prepar3D executable is still dated 4/3/2014

 

with nothing at all in the main folder dated today?

 

Did not update?

 

And is it the install that changed my time settings?

How long did it take once you started the patch process for it to finish?

The reason I ask is that mine has been going for 10 minutes. The progress bar is moving, but very slowly. There must be tons of logic or something for it to take this long.

Not very long at all maybe 1 minute

 

did it another time, just now, same thing, one minute or so/ must require a re-download? re-install?

 

I always found the full install best but I have so much in there already, and I am lazy

Downloaded full install -- have a brand new Samsung EVO 500GB SSD for P3DV2.3's new home. Took 28 minutes for download - not too shabby.

Now to get it installed.

My version says v2.3.11345.0 and the date says 8/8/2014. Also, computing requirements did take long. However, I have an issue where everytime I load the sim, I get a fatal error (or CTD). I decided to download the Full Installer to check if it makes any difference. http://www.prepar3d.com/forum-5/?mingleforumaction=viewtopic&t=7813

good grief :Nail Biting:

Patch completed, ran the exe and in 10 seconds it froze. Rebooting and will try again.

Mine being on an SSD I was not surprised it was fast, but apparently nothing got updated, twice...

Seems I am lucky mine did NOT update, at least it does not crash with the old version 2.2.10437
