John Hargreaves Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) I wonder if someone might point me in the right direction please. I have just upgraded my cpu (no other changes to my system) and I am getting the 'significant changes have been made' error when I launch DCS. I have followed the instructions to activate my modules in these dialogue boxes, and the game eventually launches. In module manager, all my modules show up, but when I try to run a quick mission to test, I get sent to the map view, with no way of flying the chosen aircraft. The T-51 works ok, so I am guessing it is something to do with activation, but the error messages are saying that activation has been successful, and when I click on the 'installed' tab in module manage, the buttons show up green as if they are correct. I have only found out about the notion of deactivating modules after I have run into problems, I wasn't aware of that so I didn't do anything to DCS before doing the cpu swap. Just a bit of advice as to how to get up and running again would be appreciated, thanks in advance. edit: I've been through the steps in the technical support section, short of manually editing the registry. I thought I would post here first before doing a step like that. edit edit: It's the older modules causing the problem, the Spitfire, Harrier, F-18 are all ok.

Art-J Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 ^ That's because Spit, Harrier and Hornet already use the new, keyless DRM system, while most of the others will be converted later. Nothing wrong with purging the registry entries, I did it myself a couple of times (you mean the guidelines posted here I presume? https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/faq/564/#1780273) i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

John Hargreaves Posted August 25, 2018 Author Share Posted August 25, 2018 Thanks for the nudge in the right direction Art, after a bit more faffing with registry entries I think I am back up and running now. Editing the registry to get a computer game working, mmm. Anyway I'm going to drive the Ford Escort down to Blockbuster and get a vhs movie tonight. That new one with Tom Cruise about the jet planes looks good Thanks again for the advice i7-7700K/Gigabyte RTX2080/Win10 64bit/32Gb RAM/Asus Xonar DX+Sennheiser HD380pro headphones/LG 34" UM65 @2560x1080/TM Warthog+VKB MkIV Rudder pedals/Rift CV1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
