A lot of bugs after upgrade PC

[zero]

All hardware upgrade.

Running world 2.5 beta.

 

I have to step through all modules for activation each time I start.

Successful - but always 8 left.

 

I have tried several aircraft - In Nevada and other maps.

Training - free flights -- hitting F1 and I am not getting into cockpit.

External view works fine also AI aircraft

 

:cry:

Did you deactivate your starforce modules before upgrading?

if not you will need to delete them from the registry and then activate again, you will loose one activation.

No -

The motherboard did not survive the transport. Monitor black. None of old components was compatible. In war and hobby - money does not matter. With eyes closed, I purchased some decent stuff...

 

I will look into it. If it works, maybe a F-14 will hit my SSD....

Only way to deactivate is to search through the bin and find my old components and repair the motherboard.

 

DCS been bugged for decades. Only that worked flawlessly was the original KA-50.

Starting to get fed up - wasted hours through the torrent days and up to now....

 

 

 

Copy and paste error message

 

 

Unable to deactivate the product license due to significant changes of the computer hardware configuration. Only valid licenses can be deactivated.

This is a hardware failure, dont confuse it with a DCS bug.

 

ED, like many other developers, grant you a license to use DCS on a single PC.

 

ED allows you to transfer your license to another computer, for example like when you exchange your PC for a newer one. For that they provide a deactivation mechanism that allows you to later re-activate each DLC on the new PC

 

Unable to deactivate the product license due to significant changes of the computer hardware configuration. Only valid licenses can be deactivated.

The message means that you are trying to deactivate your DLCs on a different PC than the one that was used on the last activation, so it believes that it has been copied onto someone elses PC and of course doent run.

 

Of course, shit happens like this case, when your PC failed before allowing you to deactivate ... to cover this situations, ED provides you not with one single activation .. you get 10 activations, which should be enough as it's unlikely that shit will happens 10 times to the same individual :)

 

What you must do is not attempt to deactivate, but simply activate your DLCs on the new PC, you will lose one of your activations (for each DLC) but you will still have the 9 remaining ones, so its a non issue.

Not quit true here. I suffered a number of pretty bad crashes that required a reinstall of windows. Every time I had to reregister my modules. Down to four or five or so. There were no hardware changes at all.

Yes, this is something that has always bothered me. On my old PC hardware, I had to reinstall Windows 2 or 3 times a year after bad crashes, and even though there were no hardware changes, I would lose an activation in DCS.

Fortunately, most modules are keyless now, but still, the progress towards removing Starforce protection completely seems to have stalled in recent months.
