Pure Client Required ????

"Pure Client Required"

 

Just tried to join the Burning Skies WWII server.

 

Never saw this message before, been playing DCS online in Multiplayer for 6 years.

 

What's going on?

[DieHard]

Integrity check failed!

 

Culprit is "views.lua" via Spitfire

 

Will attempt a repair.

Hi DieHard,

A few versions ago an integrity check was implemented as an option for people hosting multiplayer servers, in the interest of fairness.

 

Some user mods can cause your DCS installation to trigger this integrity check and show your installation as modified, which prevents you from joining the server.

 

User mods that affect loadable ordnance or flyable airframes are two major things likely to cause you to fail an integrity check; some ground texture mods can also trigger a failure. (the shadows.lua in Starway's Caucases map comes to mind, most notably)

 

You should see a little red shield at the top of the multiplayer browser indicating your client did not pass the integrity check, or a green shield if you did.

 

If you don't pass, you can click on the red shield to see which files have failed the check, which you can usually use to deduce which user mods may be causing the issue and disable them while playing on that particular server.

 

Happy flying! :)

 

EDIT: Sniped by OP! :lol:

[DieHard]

Thanks for info.

 

Repair via All Programs under Eagle Dynamics for DCS World fixed my issue.

 

And the repair did not mess up my saved custom Snap View settings and my new FOV in cockpit.

 

I am good. Joined Burning Skies WWII server in MP no problem.

Repair didn't fix mine. I have NO mods activated and clicking on the red shield show the following:

Mods/aircraft/c_130/dcs_manifest.x86_64

 

Checked the folder for Mods/aircraft/c_130 and there is no file "dcs_manifest.86_64

 

I just did the repair again and there still is no such file.

Any suggestions?

Well, if you wouldn't have any mods, you would have a pure client which you don't have.

 

Delete the whole C-130 aircraft mod then you're good to go

I'm getting a similar problem. I've got no mods, none. This is happening in 2.1.1 and I'm not sure why as I can't find the file Textures\Flame_14 has anyone else has this? I've run the repair process twice and it says everything is fine.

[WindyTX]

Sorry its a known bug right now ED are working on it.

Ok, thanks for getting back to me. I'm guessing there is no way around it, unless integrity check is turned off?

[Reflected]

Happens to me every time after I fly the Spit offline. It refers to some flame texture file. I can fix it by restarting the game, but it's annoying.

[tom1502]

I've never had it before, been flying fine up until last night when I couldn't join any servers and no one could join me when I hosted. It was a bit of a surprise really.

Integrity check in 2.1.1 is paranoid

 

I wanted to fly MP after a long pause, and the MP starting screen showed the integrity shield green. I selected the burning Sky server and grabbed a plane and found myself sitting in a Messerschmitt with a flare gun. Everything seemed ok. Except that I hate the flare gun and I didn't really want to fly a Bf-109, so I exited and picked myself a FW-190. And now, OOPS!!! I get a pop-up stating that I failed the integrity check. And on the MP start screen there is a red shield now, and it identifies the file "textures/p-51d_cpt_glass_norm" as the culprit. Now, I have not modified that file in any way and I had run a repair before launching DCS World 2.1.1. It's just ridiculous how this integrity check prevents people from playing for no valid reason at all.

In my opinion this whole integrity checking has gone over board. We are only gamers and we don't earn money or real-world fame by winning. If it's so difficult to implement a meaningful integrity check we should get rid of that paranoia altogether.

I would appeal to the operators of MP servers to disable Integrity Check until there is a reasonable solution. Those who want to serve the deadserious integrity purists will continue to have integrity check enabled of course and I have no problem with that. I want to play and have fun, and I will prefer servers who let me have it.

[tom1502]

Is there any news regarding a fix for this or am I only able to join servers without the Integrity Check enabled for the time being?

[theOden]

Tried "Repair DCS World" still getting IC failure.

Do I have to reinstall the whole bang?

[HellsBells]

Run a cleanup

 

Try Command Prompt & Run

 

x:\DCS World OpenBeta\Bin\DCS_Updater.exe cleanup

 

Then a repair

 

This will give a list of invalid files... also check your temptextures folder

sometimes old files sit there and cause IC failure

[MRaza]

This sucks, I can't use the F-15 HD Cockpit mod or the realistic HUD mod, which simply changes the font of the HUD

[LeCuvier]

Integrity check in 2.1 MP is identifies even stock files as "evil".

I'd be perfectly happy to get rid of IC altogether. People can implement command sequences of any length in TARGET to facilitate combat handling. If I do the same in a macro it fails the integrity check. Even in 1.5.

Ridiculous!

[Skopro_PL]

having the same issue. and as soon as i fix one file another pops in its place. These are stock files mind you. Nothing modified. I even did a full reinstall. I really hope this is a priority.

I'm getting the following response from running DCS_Updater.exe cleanup:

 

============================

 

dcs_updater.exe : The term 'dcs_updater.exe' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path

Suggestion [3,General]: The command dcs_updater.exe was not found, but does exist in the current location. Windows PowerShell does not load commands from the current location by default. If you trust this command, instead type: ".\dcs_updater.exe". See "get-help about_Command_Precedence" for more details.

PS C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World 2 OpenAlpha\bin>

 

===================================

 

Any ideas?

[bolek]

Either try what it says:

.\dcs_updater.exe cleanup

or use regular CMD.EXE command prompt instead of PowerShell.

[doodenkoff]

Type "cmd" at the Powershell prompt and it will allow for standard console commands without complaining about "non-recognized" input.

[Mr_sukebe]

Thanks chaps. Now resolved. Just been on BurningSkies to sanity check.

Didn't even see anyone, but it sure felt different.

[MRaza]

Do I have to uninstall my mods to run the repair? And is there any plan from ED to fix this issue?

The repair will remove your mods, though if you use a Mod Manager, like JSGME/OVGME, it will get screwed up since it will still think your mods are installed.

 

As for ED fixing it, that will depend on whether they decide that mods not working is a problem in the first place.
