Hello All, I have FC 2.0 and have seen a peculiar problem/bug. My last mission was the A-10 Airbase mission. Everything seemed like it was running on steriods..... The A-10 was cruising at over 600 knots. Voices sounded like something from the chimpmunk movies and everything was accelerated extremely fast. It is hit/miss.....try a mission on steriods ..... shut down program and restart it and its ok. Windows 7 64 bit 8.0 gb DDR2 RAM HD Radeon 5870 1gb VRAM Creative Audigy X-Fi Professional Soundcard This has never occurred in COD MW2, Dirt 2, COD MW, SH 4, SH V, or any other game. Any ideas would be nice. Thanks Fred M>

I truly understand that they have to protect their investment, and having worked in business and education I fully support their right. With that being said, Adding a bluetooth radio is not a major change. They are most likely, as mine, to be USB. Updating your anti-virus, and windows patches should never, ever cause a user to reactivate, IMHO. I think that when you have added something that triggers a reactivation, then it should tell you what hardware has changed. If I had been told it was the USB dongle for the bluetooth, I would have exited out of the program, unplugged it, and restarted BS. If users have to be limited to changes to our machines, then ED and SF should have to meet us half-way and tell us what changes it has detected. Not trying to start an arguement, and I have supported ED all the way, buying LOMAC (three times) and BS and look forward to A-10. I think they have as much responsibility to us, as we do to them. Thanks You!!! :) Fred M>

Just remembered that I added a Bluetooth radio device, since I last played it. Sorry about that

Hello All, I have played DCS BS with no problems, and hadn't played for a month since, being a teacher, had to prepare for classes, etc etc etc. Fired it up tonight for a quick mission and was told that I had made changes to my machine and had to reactivate. This is all I have done: 1. INstalled NIS 2010 2. Windows Updates 3. ATI 9.9 Drivers for Video and TV Card. 4. Bought a Western Digital 320 USB hard drive and plugged it in. It said that I now have six. I do not believe that any of these things should have caused a need to reactivate. There is no error log, as haven't had problems since the patch but had played it for hours afterwards. If you need more info, please let me know.

For some reason, I turned off UAC, rebooted, turned it back on, rebooted and it worked. Thanks for the help Ulrich!!!!

Ulrich, I recovered a "clean" version of 1.0 and patched with 1.0.1 and still the same.

I can recover a clean 1.0 installation from a Ghost image. I will then play game to verify integrity of backed up files and then patch with 1.0.1. Will get back to you tomorrow......... Have a good day!!! Fred M>

What will happen to my activation? I installed KA-50 as a clean install a few weeks ago. Never made any changes, of any kind. Played it about two hours ago, no problems, downloaded and installed patch and now this. BTW.....THANKS FOR PROMPT ATTENTION!!!!

Yes, 1.0.1 English patch on English 1.0 release version. Local settings are set to USA. I just verified local settings and tried again..........still the same. I did verify the MD5/checksum that was in another post and it did verify the same.

This might help..... When I try multiplayer, everything seems to work fine. THe screens are complete, color, and appear to be intact.

Yes......I never use mods or anything like that. Also, here is another screen shot. THANKS FOR FAST REPLY!!! Very Impressive!!!! Another screenshot.doc

I played the game before installing the 1.0.1 patch. Worked great. Installed patch and now launcher.exe crashes and game won't play. I have gotten it to work once, and attached is a screen shot. It wouldn't let me do anything. Like I said, it worked before the patch, now nothing. Please advise, I don't want to loose an activation, and getting it to install was a pain, and would prefer not to relive that again. Here is my hardware... Vista Ultimate 32bit SP2 all updates installed. Quad2Core Processor 2.66 ATI 4870 512 mb RAM - latest drivers installed - AI is shut off. 4.0 gb RAM WORKED BEFORE INSTALLING PATCH..................

Hello, I am a person that constantly upgrades my hardware. Hard Drives, Video Cards, Processors, Memory, Etc. I had four activations left, and upgrades from a Core2Duo to a Core2Quad processor and had to reactivate. Is this normal? I will be upgrading my video card from an ATI 3870 to the new 4870 in a few weeks....will this also cause me to loose another activation? Thanks Fred M> :)

Starforce Issue I have used the registry backup from downloads and it never have worked as advertised. I get the file but when I had to install windows again, I still had to go through the starforce garbage. I know they have to protect their software from idiots that crack the codes but that screws those of us that make regular hardware upgrades or beta test for companies such as EA, MS, or Symantec. imho.....I know this might upset a few, but that is not my intent. Thanks
