frustratednobody Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 I have had several issues getting DCS World Installed. Now, when I try to run the .exe file, it says its corrupted. Any advice? I've tried redownloading it several times and from different servers. No dice.
outlawal2 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Please provide system specs... Are all drivers updated? Make sure .net has the latest updates.. And if you are using WINDOWS 32-bit you are out of luck as only 64-bit is supported.. "Pride is a poor substitute for intelligence." RAMBO

frustratednobody Posted September 19, 2014 Author Posted September 19, 2014 Brand new computer with minimum specs to run and yes its 64 bit. Should work. If I buy a DCS product off the shelf, will DCS WOrld be part of that disc? I'm new to DCS. Played Falcon AF a few years ago, trying to get back in the saddle and tech is starting to pass me by.

If I am not mistaken DCSW is download only. Welcome back to the best that flight sims has to offer.

SkateZilla Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 I dont think there is a retail disk distribution of DCSWorld, At least not one above Version 1.2.0. I've always downloaded the installers via Torrent, because it downloads crazy fast with people seeding it, and it has built in CRC, The 2 times I did use HTTP, I had Corrupt bin files both times due to packet loss or something. Windows 10 Pro, Ryzen 2700X @ 4.6Ghz, 32GB DDR4-3200 GSkill (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR x2), ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate, XFX RX6800XT Merc 310 (RX-68XTALFD9) 3x ASUS VS248HP + Oculus HMD, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS + MFDs
frustratednobody Posted September 19, 2014 Author Posted September 19, 2014 I know this is super noob question, but how do I download the torrent files? I tried and my computer asks me how I want to open the file...this happens after downloading the file from the DCS World link.
WinterH Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) Use a torrent client program like uTorrent, they will use torrent files to download whatever you are looking for, in this case, DCS World. :) Edited September 19, 2014 by WinterH typo...

frustratednobody Posted September 20, 2014 Author Posted September 20, 2014 I'm really frustrated now. Did the torrent file download like suggested and still no help. When this whole drama started, I got about 85% of the way finished before I got the source file error, now it won't even start. DCS changed all the files right in the middle of my trying to figure this out and I had to start from scratch...very frustrating. Any suggestions would be helpful. Starting to wonder if its worth it. Why won't this work....URGHHH!
