159th_Viper Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Okay cool. Sorry for what might be a silly question: Is there a way to check how many activations I have before I go uninstalling the old version? http://proactive.star-force.com/2.0/activate.php Enter serial and click 'Serial Number Parameters'.

wess24m Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 That's great in theory Viper, However when it takes over 2 months just to get an answer on the support tickets, it's rather impractical. ^^exactly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
159th_Viper Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 ^^exactly Do not wait until you spend your last activation prior to requesting more. In any event, lets not forget that this discussion only pertains to BS1 and not to World and it's modules. Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career?

Shein Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Will there be any announcements of automatic updates here on the forums? or when the DCSW updates automatically, any way to know what is being fixed or added thru DCSW itself?

In any event, lets not forget that this discussion only pertains to BS1 and not to World and it's modules. Copy that, and I do thank you for the information. I do understand the need to protect the product from being pirated but when it becomes easier to download a pirated copy and have it work (I have no knowledge of a pirated DCS or any experience with such) then to get a legitimate copy activated, it becomes a target for such activity. I love the sim and hope that never happens but those are the facts. Starforce already has burned an unknown amount of people that will never buy a game that uses that brand of copy protection.

agathorn Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 So after installing 1.2.1, on first run the new auto updater said there was an update. Oh and it appears the audio triggers ARE fixed in this patch even though they aren't in the notes.

Raydowe Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) are you testing your product before launch? 1. instalation.. with your instructions of course. installated ok.. run.. quick update.. and error. DCS CANT START.. nice.. restart computer fixed it, 2. start campain. only few minutes in flight i see problem with TGP and buildings in zoom (screenshot) (nvidia GTX570m lastest drivers) 3.World crashed to dasktop "DCS stopping work bla bla.. " twice.... i tested it only 15 minutes. (win7-64x) no problems with old 1.2 world only FPS dropping everytime with incoming patch :(( next one or two patches and i'll must stop play :(. I start with full details in DCS A10 v 1.1.1.1 and now i must set low details (only texture hight and shadows) for smooth flight :( Edited October 1, 2012 by Raydowe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witchking Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) All the guys complaining about activations: Cut them some slack. It happened by mistake. Just leave it be and you will get ur activation back. Heck...for some reason, it shows up as I have only 6 activations for my DCS warthog...but hey... mistakes happen and so far ED is the only dev who has ever been so generous with the activations as long as u show them proof that you purchased ur copy. I think thats more than we can ask for and I commend them for sticking through with the starforce activation. I think it helps save them sales and support this niche sim developer. We already hassle them enough by bugging them with bug reports and requests for new features. Give them a chance to get a breather and consolidate it. ..... & NOW.... Where are the 6dof flanker, fulcrum and frog cockpits ED?

Hamblue Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Another interesting thing. I de-activated and the program said I have 9 activations left. After installing the new version and activating A-10 it says I still have 9 activations. :thumbup: Leave that one alone. Asus Sabertooth P67 Motherboard 2600k CPU, 16 gig DDR3, 1600.

Ratfink Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Presumably I just remove DCSW 1.2.0 by uninstalling "DCS World" from COntrol Panel> Programs and feature? This will remove my installed 1.2.0 modules (A-10 and BS2 Upgrade) too? I don't see a separate remove option for them.

Hamblue Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Is part of peoples problem possibly that they forgot to turn off torrent after downloading?

Echo38 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 fairly useless modules like P-51 You know, I got DCS specifically because of the P-51D. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that it it's useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamblue Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 What would that affect? I would think possibly on-line play since your sharing bandwidth with the torrent. Wouldn't that create lag?
