frustratednobody Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Easy Question: If I download A-10C, do I need DCS World in order to play it? I can't get DCS World to install on my computer. If I buy A-10C from the download page, can I play it or do I need DCS World?
DarkMellie Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 A-10C is a module of DCS World, so yes, you will need DCS World in order to play the A-10C. Why can't you get DCS World to install? DCS 161 (Recce) Squadron [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
frustratednobody Posted September 20, 2014 Author Posted September 20, 2014 Good question. Right now the issue is that it says "source file is corrupt." I've tried downloading from another server and a torrent download. No luck. When I started, it would get approx. 85% finished, then it would say source file is corrupt. Then all the file names changed (thanks DCS) and I had to start all over again. Customer Svc has been terrible. Not sure what to do now. Any help is appreciated.
Teriander Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Are you sure you've downloaded all the parts required for the install? Do you have any anti-virus programs running? I use Advast, and I know Advast treats some parts of this game as a threat, and have experienced it placing certain files in the vault. Any additional details on the error would help.
Corrigan Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 So it gets stuck while extracting? Are you sure your system complies with the requirements? Is maybe your antivirus interfering with the installation? It could also be that your system is having trouble moving big files I guess.

frustratednobody Posted September 20, 2014 Author Posted September 20, 2014 I have turned Off the antivirus. System is brand new and should be able to handle it. I don't know what to do.

Poneybirds Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Have you tried steam? It will handle all the installing for you.
frustratednobody Posted September 20, 2014 Author Posted September 20, 2014 Haven't tried steam but may do that. Does anyone know why the original .exe file I downloaded would finish 85% extraction but the new file won't even start? In the middle of this, DCS World file names changed and I had to redownload everything. I feel like I'm missing something, but I can't figure out what it is. Yes its 64 bit.
