uscstaylor Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Hey Gents For some reason when I start my game which is a fresh install of 2.5. I get these pop ups of the modules asking me to activate the module even though they been activated for a long time...it's not all modules just some of them. It's very annoying everytime I start my game especially the mig21. Can some explain how to fix this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raz_Specter Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 the new protection system for some of the modules makes them call home (I think from memory every 4 days) just click activate then yes (from memory) then they wont appear again until next time.

dmatsch Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I was running the game on full screen. I had a couple of these modules pop-ups appear, however they appeared BELOW the active game window and wouldn't let me alt-tab into them. The game window stayed active focus and seemed to hold on the loading graphic. CRTL-ALT-DEL didn't even work. I only noticed the activation window because I restarted my PC and noticed it open in the shutdown list. Switching the game to windowed allowed me to alt-tab into the activation modals, however they still appeared below the active game window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you don't press "ctrl", "shift" or "alt" while DCS is starting up, these messages shouldn't appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlacleyCole Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I had it ask for keys for mods I didn’t even have so i went into the installed module tab and deactivated the ones causing problem BlackeyCole 20years usaf XP-11.

uscstaylor Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 That's all well and good but I have the ones its asking for...I just want to figure this out. Technically it shouldn't be happening to a fresh install of the game...Can I block the Phone home thing via my firewall or something. Maybe someone from ED can chime in on this. I start my game up and I usually get the Mig-21 popup. I did have a fix that ED support sent me for the mig but it never worked.. So now I have been getting popups for the FW-190, the WWII assets pack, Mig-21 and the F-86 and the Huey...I am getting tired of having to reactivate these modules only to have it happen again 4-5 days from that last time I did it. There has to be a fix.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sslechta Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I get these pop ups of the modules asking me to activate the module even though they been activated for a long time. Have you actually gone in to Module Manager and checked the modules there?

uscstaylor Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Your asking me this but what do you want me to do once Im in the Module manager. Im not sure what your asking me...Can you be more specific Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sslechta Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Click on the installed tab and make sure all your sliders are to the right showing they are activated. See the screenshot. If they are not like that, you need to activate them from the right side of the screen.

uscstaylor Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Thanks checked all mods are active, but still getting pop up of the mig 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin851526 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 This is happening to me quite a bit as well lately. However it's not the Mig 21 that keeps popping up for activation it's the Viggen for some reason and sometimes the F 5 Tiger as well. I've checked my mods in the manager and all are activated. Modules: KA-50, A-10C, FC3, UH-1H, MI-8MTV2, MIG-21bis, FW-190D9, F-86F, MIG-15bis, M-2000C, AJS-37 Viggen , AV-8B Night Attack V/STOL , F-5E Tiger , L-39 Albatros.
