sonic Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 This is frustating. I just wanted to play some Mig-21 and got this mess instead. What's wrong with this module? How do the other modules work ok and not this one? Why here it is said to do a repair while in the patch notes its talks about desactivating and reactivating in the module manager. I should not have to solve this mess just after an update. It did buy the product and being bothered again by this stupid copy protection system just get on the nerves of everyone. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Cobra847 Posted February 28, 2015 Author Posted February 28, 2015 Having to run a DCS repair is unrelated to the copy protection system. This is caused by an error in the updater (somehow). Nicholas Dackard Founder & Lead Artist Heatblur Simulations https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/
Ce_Zeta Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) Repair worked. But the instructions in this post are very very poor. Please in the future....write a complete procedure if required. Edited February 28, 2015 by Ce_Zeta [sIGPIC]http://i.imgur.com/YexElgV.jpg[/sIGPIC]

Azrayen Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Hello Cobra847, Could you please clarify something for me (and, apparently, others)? I've had the green icon+no options (+likely no cockpit but didn't tested that) "issue". I've run a repair following this advice (first with Open Beta, then a second repair following 1.2.15 upgrade of my Release branch installation). Now: 1/ My MiG-21 looks OK (icon+options+cockpit present & working). 2/ I've had no change activation-wise as far as I can tell (and I certainly made non voluntarily). So: Do I still need to do something about activation? Or do I don't touch nothing, as it's working as it is? Thx :)

beaupower32 Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 I just un-installed and then re-installed. Works like a champ now. "There is always a small microcosm of people who need to explain away their suckage" [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
sissypilot Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Repair worked. ASP A-A gun is a bigger mess than it was. Still not kinked to radar, when I set increase distance manualy the piper moves upwards. Otherwise fine.
DaveRindner Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I have a problem with this. I have no "Start Menu -> Eagle Dynamics -> DCS World -> Repair DCS World". It does not exist, and as far as I recall, my installation of DCS World never had it. Also I am unable to locate DCS WORLD repair. exe or similar name. I have Eagle Dynamics under Start, but all it contains are links to documentation. In the mean time, my MIG-21 is broken. Why would ED and Leatherneck release so obviously flawed update/

El Hadji Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 The repair exe is located in: ...\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin Are you sure about that? I don't have a repair exe file.

Flycat Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Did it fix the bug of avionics in new patch? If it happens I need to reset the livery options and restart the game. Now I didn't meet it again, but can't confirm it was fixed. Thanks a lot. :)))))
Azrayen Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Don't need to do anything. Only some need to re-activate. :) Thx for the clarification :)
DaveRindner Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Fixed. All I dis is to dl latest build of install (2.15.something), and reinstalled.
xgunnarx Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Ive done everything... every time i try to load into game.. it exits to the activation software and no mater if i try to activate or deactivate it give me this message.... "Unable to run the application due to integrity fault of the Activation Key. Re-enter a valid Activation Key or re-activate the application. If the error recurs, click "Error report" and send the report to product technical support." I've emailed support with my log file it created.. anyone else get the mig21 running and get this message?

Same thing is happening for me as well, its practically unplayable. I sent support an email and I'm now just awaiting a response. I have just deactivated the MiG-21 module in the module manager for now.
xgunnarx Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I tried the registry edit provided by cobra again... this time i dropped it in the mig21 bin file... and it worked... what i did was disable the module.. restarted.. exited.. dropped the registry in the mig21 bin file.. opened it.. activated the activation software in the same bin file and it magically worked this time.. rebooted dcs and everything is hunky dory!
Casco Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I re-enabled the MiG-21 today and it worked despite having the key integrity fault a few days ago.
sissypilot Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I managed to fix it with all the tricks mentioned here and it kinda works only crashes when I exit from sim to DCS main menu. I am getting tired of this module this is far the buggiest I own....
f4l0 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I've just noticed that I somehow lost an activation for the Mig during the update-process... Is there a solution for this? f4l0 Developer of Simshaker for Aviators Feel the brrrrttt: [Official] SimShaker for Aviators Forums thread at ED forums SimShaker for Aviators (simshaker-for-aviators.github.io)

Going to try this today, because untill today I have not been able to fly the mig since that update. I actually changed my hardware on that exact same day and it keeps giving fatal errors during activation on startup.

f4l0 Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) Geskes, I did the same (works) but lost somehow in total 2 activations. I'm very optimistic that Letherneck will reset my activations...
