Don't use ModMan for uninstalling your mods, uninstall mode does not work correctly! Uninstall the game completely and re-install again, after that install the patch on clean game!

See the readme please.

Windows regional settings should be set to country setting in compliance with patch language!

You must set the locations of your computer to UK.

Hi,

I also have this problem on a german Windows 7 installation with the english download version of DCS:Blackshark.

I already reinstalled the game from the scratch, but as soon as I enter the options I get the error windows and I can't set any of the controls. The controlls are empty.

See the readme please.

Windows regional settings should be set to country setting in compliance with patch language!

 

You must set the locations of your computer to UK.

No kidding? You mean in the regions and language settings I have to set it to the United Kingdom?

Could you clarify that please?

I am located in sweden, using an english language Vista 64 Home Premium. Upon original installation of DCS the language of the OS was english, keyboard preset was swedish, and location was sweden. This worked.

Do I have to set my computer to pretend it's in the UK for the patch?

Also, the readme says:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

PATCH INSTALLATION

 

Locate the saved patch file and double click to open and follow instructions.

Installation on Microsoft® Windows® Vista requires administrator rights.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------

That's it on installation.

EDIT:

To be more helpful: I do recall seing it mentioned that the localized versions of DCS require that the OS is set to operate in that language - was that what you mean? In that case it should not matter since this is the english - ie, international, version. Or am I misunderstanding something?

Deleting and reinstalling has not corrected the error. Also I don't see why should I set my computer to UK, the game has always ran without any error (I have the english download version). Besides, I'm not gonna do that just for a game, my language is spanish and every other piece of software, regardless it's own language, works perfectly.

OK, set to UK and reinstalled, but problem still remains.

Just changing formats works for me. I can keep everything else in spanish (keyboard, location, system locale, etc.)

But I tell you, this is not an optimal solution. It's the first time a game asks me to do that and it can potentially bring lots of customer troubleshooting.

Yes, that works - you have to set both to English (UK) - but probably just format does it.

Edit: seems so, Distiler

But I tell you, this is not an optimal solution. It's the first time a game asks me to do that and it can potentially bring lots of customer troubleshooting.

Totally agree. What a let down. How could this major bug go through QA? I'm in Poland, I am not going to change my formats just to play the game on 1.01. Please explain me - what the hell?

I've uninstalled, changed location and formats, reinstalled and still get this error. Do I need to change the format and location to russian for the russian download version?? Frustration!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have I understood right? I am in Spain, and having a English version do I have to change my Windows localization to English? Really? :cry:

Try just "formats" (the way numbers, currencies,dates, time, etc are shown, nothing about the keyboard, etc.)

If for example (is not true, only example) i live in madagascar, have windows in chinese, and BS in english (not exist BS in chinese), I cant play BS 1.0.1?

Issues with language is absurd.

If it's just "formats" as in my case, then it is not related to the language, just the way some things are shown. It's also absurd, but it's not a big deal as if it was like changing keyboard (I would throw the game to the trash XD)

OK, changing the formats to russian lets the game work.

As was said before, NOT an ideal solution.:doh:

Damn, I need to cancel the 5 US/EN keyboards I just ordered at ebay!

Yes, I believe you are correct - the date and decimal format is the one that has great importance for DCS. Using other types of date-format and decimal signs might cause problems for certain kinds of scripts.

Altough Windows DO have an API for catering for those kind of issues, it might be hard to implement in certain mechanisms. :)

This is freaking me out! CHANGING YOUR FORMATS just because THIS ONE SINGLE GAME cannot cope with another format setting on your computer is just ridicoulus beyond my wildest imagination. I've never before heard of this issue for any piece of software I've ever ran on my computers in like 20 years of computing.

MAYBE I could let this one slip if it was just mentioned somewhere in the readme, but I can't find it?

OK, it worked, thanks :thumbup:

Also, the patch changed the GUI to windowed (transparent) mode, but this time I knew where change it to fullscreen.

P.S.: As Boulund said, the formats issue is kind of weird nowadays...

The patch resetted all my configurations, not just the full screen setting (keys, options, etc.)

This is freaking me out! Loosing activations is one thing, a very serious one at that though.

In fact you'r right, it's not in the patch readme, it's just in the patch downloading web:

Once again I say: activations are not lost during 1.0.1 install.
