Black Shark 2 and FLaming Cliffs 2 activation/deactivation

[Gunnodayak]

Hello!

 

I will begin by saying that I own one legit copy of Black Shark 2 and one legit copy of Flaming Cliffs 3. Around two hours ago I've bought myself a new processor for my PC, I've assembled it in my computer, I've started the DCS World, and when I've tried to play a mission, I've received an error message about new hardware to my computer. I've tried to "reactivate" the game, but with no success.

 

I receive these messages, for Flaming Cliffs 3:

 

 

 

 

After hitting "Next" and "OK" as required, this sequence of three messages repeats three times and then, in a similar fashion for Black Shark 2 I receive the following:

 

 

 

 

This sequence of three messages also repeats three times.

 

Then the game finally starts, but it's unplayable, I cannot take control of the helicopter:

 

 

I've also generated two error reports (one for each game "activation" error), but before sending them to DCS, did any of you encountered a similar situation after some hardware upgrade? Because I want to solve this issue without moving out the new processor, putting back the old one, "deactivate" the game" and then put the new one in and "activate" again. Doing all these without having a guarantee that this will solve my issue. It's damn frustrating, I am starting to hate this "activation"/"deactivation" system, which prevents me now from playing, although I've bought both games.

 

Thank you in advance for any info!

This happened to me. I spent few activations and it didn't work. I forgot exact procedure, but if I remember correctly I had to manually delete all DCS registry entries with regedit.

 

There was some info on the forum for A-10C how to manually deactivate module but it didn't work for me. http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/faq/activation_wiki/

Just in case you are in need of a good registry tool, which is also free for 60 days to use.

Be warned, avery powerfull toy that becomes an axe in the woods if you use it without caution.

Thank you, I've used the registry tools found here:

but with the "cost" of one activation for each module. The solution was offered to me in a quick manner by DCS support (more precisely, a nice guy called Andrey from Eagle Dynamics IT Team) after I've send them a ticket describing my problem.

 

Now the problem is solved.

 

Thank you both (Godzila & BitMaster) for your feedback!
