Activation required for an already activated module

[Redglyph]

DCS 1.5.5.60338.212

 

I have had this problem for a while, and also with previous installations so it's not a corrupted installation.

 

Every now and then, it requires the activation of a "random" module that is already activated. I'm clicking EXIT and it does not seem to have any impact, other than some concern something is wrong with my account, or at least that something is a little weird.

 

This time, I kept a screenshot and the dcs.log, in which you can see messages like these:

 

00000.968 INFO    WorldPlugIns: No 'registryPath' for 'AVIODEV_C-101'
00021.509 ERROR   EDCORE: LoadLibrary failed for FW190D9.dll: (0) 
00021.509 ERROR   WorldPlugIns: Can't load plugin module FW190D9.dll :
00031.910 INFO    WorldPlugIns: No 'registryPath' for 'A10C-PIERCING_FURY_campaign'
00031.910 INFO    WorldPlugIns: No 'registryPath' for 'P51D-HIGHSTAKES_campaign'
00031.910 INFO    WorldPlugIns: No 'registryPath' for 'F86-MIG15-RELIC_campaign'

 

I don't have the C-101 so this one does not bother me (but then there are some other modules I don't have, but for which I have no message, like the Hawk, the A-10A, ...). But I do own the Fw-190 and the three campaigns above.

 

Despite those messages, I only had one pop-up for the Dora, but once I had two of them. It's not always the same module.

 

I hope it can help deter this problem.

Ignore the others with WorldPlugIns: No 'registryPath'

 

for the 00021.509 ERROR EDCORE: LoadLibrary failed for FW190D9.dll: (0)

 

have you made any hardware changes or os changes?

 

sometimes antivirus can create the problem which are you using?

 

use the registry delete key from here for the FW190D9 https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/faq/564/#1780273

 

then reactivate the FW190D9

I haven't changed anything.

Before I had Norton 360, now I have a temporary Avira, I had the problem with both.

 

I checked the registry keys from the file downloaded with the link you gave, but it's fine. As I said, it happens randomly every now and then (once every month or so, or about that), but skipping the procedure with exit is fine, I can use the module anyway.

 

It's just a random glitch, I'm curious to know whether anyone else has this problem. Could it be a timeout when trying to verify the module key online?

I just had the issue in 2.0.4 (2.0.4.59428.142). I think someone is trying to steal my aircraft ;)

Any news? This is happening more and more often these days, perhaps because I'm using DCS more often, not sure. It's much more frequent in 1.5 apparently, but that may just be random. Just had two occurrences when launching DCS right now.

 

Could it be a timeout if DCS is trying to verify the module key online?

it is most likely your AV creating the problem.

 

Add dcs to your allowed list and if needs be use the registry fixes here https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/faq/564/#1780273

 

and then reactivate.

 

if you are still having issues put a support ticket in https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/?add=Y

Thanks!

 

I have to change the antivirus / firewall soon, I'll see if that improves things. I suppose it's mostly DCS.exe and dcs_protect.exe that may trigger this error in case of problem.

 

The fact it only happens once in a while seems to disqualify the registry method, reserved for permanent errors. If I do that (for all the aircraft...), I'll register them again and find myself in the same situation as now.

Also make sure you're not pressing the control button on your keyboard during loading. This causes it to go into the activation screen

Excellent! Thanks! :D

 

That may well be the problem I had. Is that a known feature, or a known bug? I'm baffled!

it is a feature to bring up the activation window, I never thought to mention it :)

Sometimes it's the little things

Amazing feature ;)

 

I'll have to watch my hands then. Sometimes I'm switching tasks or documents while DCS is booting up, that must be it.

 

Good catch, ricktoberfest!

 

And thanks to both of you for your help :)
