OB 1.5.8, crashes, serial number .. problems

[Thomasew]

Hi,

 

 

I'm 'now' aware of the RWR crash with the Viggen, .. however, when I was experiencing some game crashing with the Viggen, .. I did a repair on my DCS Openbeta 1.5.8 install.

 

 

When I then ran 1.5.8, .. I was prompted to activate the Viggen .. !??

 

 

..and, although a message informed me that it was already activated, .. I activated again anyway.

 

 

Still, lots of crashing .. probably related to the RWR issue, .. which I wasn't aware of at the time.

 

 

However, .. if I just start DCS Openbeta, .. and then exit, .. an examination of the dcs.log file, .. reveals this:-

 

 

ERROR WorldPlugIns: Failed to read serial number for 'AJS37'

 

 

I have all the DCS modules, .. and no other module gives this ERROR.

 

 

Is this related to the new authentication in 1.5.8 ?

 

 

.. or, somehow, .. tied in with this RWR crash bug?

 

 

I also tried un-installing and re-installing the Viggen, to no avail.

 

 

The Viggen seems to work fine in 1.5.7 and 2.1, .. however, .. interestingly, .. the dcs.log files for both 1.5.7 and 2.1 show the same ERROR with regards the Serial number .. !!??

 

 

All 3 versions i.e. 1.5.7 , 1.5.8 and 2.1 all show the Viggen as installed and activated .. with a 'valid' serial number, .. in the Module Manager.

 

 

One other thing I noticed in 1.5.8, .. is that the AJS37 Special page in Options, .. is completely blank .. i.e. no customized cockpit setting.

 

 

Any feedback or advice on this ?

 

 

Thanks .. :)

 

 

Cheers

Tom
