Taiser Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Installed the game on my laptop, runs fine on my PC and ran on the laptop before. It's 2.7 open beta. On launch a box pops up showing that the DCS Updater 2.11.1.83 saying "The application was modified!" then the updater box shows up for a second and closes. Any reason for this? Please don't say re-install, it took like 10 hours to download this the game LOL :( Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverdevil Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I do like the theatrics of the exclamation point in the error. Seriously though I am assuming that the updater itself is getting changed or or it thinks it is. Was the original install on laptop removed?

Flappie Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 @TaiserGo here, click the blue "DCS_updater_64bit.zip " link to download the latest version of the DCS updater. Open the ZIP file, and extract the file in: \DCS World OpenBeta\bin\ Then run DCS and tell us if that fixes the issue. Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever.

Taiser Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 Yep, that fixed it thanks, but now when I try to install my purchased modules I get a CTD. Tried with the check marked install window that pops up, crash, one at a time, crash. Funny it's so rock solid on my PC. Doesn't like my MSI Titan I guess! Thanks for the help.

Flappie Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Please attach the following files: \DCS World OpenBeta\autoupdate_log.txt C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS...\Logs\dcs.log (may appear as "dcs") Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord.

Taiser Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 Here ya go. I had to rar them as one was over 5 megs. Thanks for looking! LOGS.rar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Thanks. I see no crash in your dcs.log file, and I don't see any module installation in your autoupdate_log.txt file either. Let's try to install your modules thanks to command lines. Tell me which modules you're trying to install, and I'll give you the appropriate command lines.

Flappie Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) OK, let's try installing the Persian Gulf map using Powershell: Close DCS Go to "E:\Games2\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\" Hold Shift key and right-click the "bin" folder Click "Open Powershell here" Copy what follows, paste it in the Powershell window, then hit Enter: ./DCS_updater install PERSIANGULF_terrain You should see the usual Windows authorization popup: click "Yes" and see if Persian Gulf is propely installed.

Flappie Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) Weird, it works from my end. Can you see the "DCS_updater.exe" file in \bin\ folder? If so, please try again with this slightly different command: ./DCS_updater.exe install PERSIANGULF_terrain Edited May 1, 2021 by Flappie Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord.

Flappie Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) Your command line seems correct. The file should be here if you followed my instructions above. Can you please ensure the DCS_updater.exe file is located in this folder? ( E:\Games2\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\ ) Edited May 2, 2021 by Flappie Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever.

Taiser Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 DOH! Got it to work. The DCS updater in the BIN folder was in a zipped format for some reason! Weird! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Maybe you forgot to unzip it after you downloaded it. You should now be able to install modules directly from the ingame module manager. Please let us know if everything works fine now. Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
