What are some reasons I can't save my online name or net speed?

[AegisFX]

I made this topic before the reset and it was lost in the internet's void.

 

So here are my problems:

 

1a. When I login for online play, my options screen continues to use my computer's default name.

I change it, play a little, crash out, quit, etc, then relaunch MP. My name has reset.

 

1b. In that MP options screen? My network speed dropbox is completely blank. I don't have any options to change it at all.

 

 

2. I can't seem to stay connected to some servers. I can connect for maybe a minute tops, before I get interrupted and returned to server browser.

 

Before this problem, I was unable to really play DCS after upgrading my computer's parts. 2 or 3 dialogue boxes per module asking me to validate before receiving an error and having to click retry. To solve this, I used the files at this link, to wipe my registry and use another activation for my modules.

Solutions I've tried this week are:

1."repair DCS World" program. It said it was downloading runtimes, but froze. Upon .exe restart, it says downloading runtimes for a moment, says cleaning up, then closes abruptly.

 

2. Just downloaded the 1.2.10 update 3. Still have the blank network speed box, which I think is part of my connection woes.

I would try a full reinstall. Wipe out everything and start from scratch. You could probably save your controller profiles though.

That's probably the only thing I haven't done that I know of. I was worried about having to deal with activation again, but since it's been activated on this hardware, I suppose there's no reason not to at this point.

I'm not too certain on that, but I don't think you should need to reactivate. I believe there is a way to deactivate a module so you can get your activation back but I don't know the correct steps.

I didn't need to reactivate. My network speed box is still blank though, and my name isn't staying. Haven't played online since earlier this week, so a quick 30 minutes will tell me if I still have the connect interrupts.

Is the file read-only?

Is the file read-only?

 

Typed up a response to this, and then went to sleep before sending.

 

Last night, the files were set to read only. I unchecked that box.

 

Today, I checked my router's rules list. DCS is there as a tcp rule for port 10308.

 

I've also deleted my network.vault file, and after trying to run dcs w, updated it again. I joined a server , still with no speed setting, or permanent name. I ended up with a ctd. Still working my way through this. Attempting to find a crash log or something now.

 

I found my latest crash and dump files. Is this a support ticket worthy issue?

Have you tried deleteing or renaming C:\Users\[yourname]\Saved Games\DCS.

 

Start up single player to generate a new one. Then close sp.

 

Then start up mp, set your name and settings then close game to save.

This is more likely to be where the problem lies. None of these files are touched during a re-install.
