Crowman Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Hi All I recently followed the advice regarding the latest update for DCS world 1.5.6 regarding deactivation and reactivation of the Mig 21 module, this I did successfully on V1.5.6 unfortunately v2.0.5 now has issues regarding the Mig 21 now even though it had just be sorted prior to this 1.5.6 update. Any advice would be appreciated, I have several saved versions of DCS now following the recent problems.

Paganus Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I'm not affiliated in anyway with M3 so take this for what it's worth... not much. I assume that the fix has to be patched into the other versions. So open beta got patched and is now fixed. After 2.0 is patched it will be fixed, and so on.

Dolphin887 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Please, don't use MiG in unpatched versions (Alpha and Public) to avoid possible SF conflicts: - once you deactivated MiG in Beta, it will deactivate in all the DCSs you have, - patch the Beta, activate and use MiG in Beta. - don't attempt to activate/deactivate again in Public and Alpha: They are ready to receive new patched MiG binaries once they are released. We will attempt to arrange 2.0.5 MiG patch distribution next week. If we succeed, Public is next. We apologize for this complication; we believe things will work much better concerning the SF once we are through the process. Regards. Power through superb knowledge, training and teamwork.

Alfredson007 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Okay my Mig-21 is totally broken, cannot activate cannot deactivate and all this due to curse word called Starforce? Back to times when DRM caused more problems than anything else for paying customers? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolphin887 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I've deactivated and reactivated it in ob, still says the key is invalid... Provided that the procedure is correct, you probably have more than one failed deactivation in your registry. Please delete the "Leatherneck Simulations" registry entry, and activate patched MiG in Beta. You will get one extra activation. Power through superb knowledge, training and teamwork.

-Rudel- Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 You were suppose to deactivate first, before patching. Run the command prompt and run dcs_updater.exe update 1.5.6.1938 to get the 1.5.6.1938 bin files. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030 Next, delete the registry entry, update DCS again and reactivate. https://magnitude-3.com/ https://www.facebook.com/magnitude3llc https://www.youtube.com/@magnitude_3 i9 13900K, 128GB RAM, RTX 4090, Win10Pro, 2 x 2TB SSD i9 10980XE, 128GB RAM, RTX 3090Ti, Win10 Pro, 2 x 256GB SSD, 4 x 512GB SSD RAID 0, 6 x 4TB HDD RAID 6, 9361-8i RAID Controller i7 4960X, 64GB RAM, GTX Titan X Black, Win10 Pro, 512GB PCIe SSD, 2 x 256GB SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dondy Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Have the same problem and downloading the 1938 files again. Would be nice if this sort of info would also be stated in the ED patch notes. And even better if this would be triggered as a warning at the start of the DCS update: "Please deactivate your MiG21 first before proceeding with this update".

razo+r Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 nice, the info about that was in a hidden thread that i just found now... but thanks for the effort... also, When i start ob, the updater comes first, before i'm able to deactivate it in ob so... might also be a factor to consider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekg Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 What happened? I had to uninstall and reinstall it completely? Why the name change from Leatherneck to Magnitude 3 LLC? Leatherneck was way cooler. Also is the F-14 dead?? I thought it was going to be done by Leatherneck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tusler Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) OMG, I did not know there was a problem and updated my DCS now I cannot deactivate the Mig 21. It shows errors when I start DCS. This is really bad for me. I am like a total noob with the command line. If I reinstall windows from scratch and reinstall all DCS from scratch will that fix it? Update I did the cmd line and de activation did not work. I removed it from the registry. restarted the computer. started DCS ran the activation without updating DCS and it worked. After I tested it for a while I rean the de activation and that worked. I am just leaving it deactivated until I hear more on the patch or whatever. It is way to confusing to me.

tusler Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Since I updated DCS before I knew there was a problem I found this post and did this from: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=185396&page=2 -Rudel- You were suppose to deactivate first, before patching. Run the command prompt and run dcs_updater.exe update 1.5.6.1938 to get the 1.5.6.1938 bin files. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030 Next, delete the registry entry, update DCS again and reactivate. Only when I went to update DCS again it said I have the latest update installed. I think from searching the forums I have the release version? any way I went through the activation and it worked, I tested it and de activated it incase I need to patch it ( I am clueless). When I tried to deactivate at first by following the thread from Opening a command prompt: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030 I could not get the deactivated to work so I deleted the registry entry and did it that way.
