How to re-install Open Alpha without losing module deactivation/activation


Recommended Posts

Posted

Basically I have installed DCS World 1.5, DCS World Open Beta, and DCS World Open Alpha and have all of my modules activated on all 3. I am having issues with crashing to desktop on Open Alpha and would like to re-install it cleanly. Do I need to deactivate all of my modules from Open Alpha, re-install it, and then re-activate them all or is there a slicker way of doing this without losing deactivation and activation?

Activation Data is stored in the System Registry.

 

You should be able to delete the /DCS.Open Alpha/ Install folder and re-install, login download modules, done, they will all be activated already.

Loaded Win10, took me 3 days to get everything on my computer again on 4M DSL line. Did not even bother with 1.5 this time. The reactivation of all the modules was the least of my worries. ;-)

With the price of ammunition these days do not expect a warning shot.

^ After using it a couple of times, I'm fairly sure it's a "cleanup" command and not "cleaner" (unless the second option was added lately).

You are right, my bad. :(
