Looks like your installation used to be on your G drive, you moved it across to your X drive. It looks like there are still references to the original location somewhere in DCS's config files (or the system registry). You might want to try PM'ing Skatezilla. He's usually pretty good with this kind of thing. i7-7700K @ 4.9Ghz | 16Gb DDR4 @ 3200Mhz | MSI Z270 Gaming M7 | MSI GeForce GTX 1080ti Gaming X | Win 10 Home | Thrustmaster Warthog | MFG Crosswind pedals | Oculus Rift S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_O_A_D Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) Thanks Pizzicato that's the best I can figure also, I went into regedit and can find the individual aircraft listed but not the game. Looked into C:\Users\TOAD\AppData\Local and its its blank. And the game is not listed in program files form the start menu, it used to be???

T_O_A_D Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 I renamed the drive to G: the updater is working, but of course it wacked my other games shortcuts etc. Once its updated I'll just rename it back to X drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David OC Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Thanks that's the best I can figure also, I went into regedit and can find the individual aircraft listed but not the game. Looked into C:\Users\TOAD\AppData\Local and its its blank. And the game is not listed in program files form the start menu, it used to be??? If you move DCS around like I have many times to different PC's you wont have the pretty nice full normal install links and win menu links. Doesn't bother me, all you need to do is launch DCS using the links found in the bin folder of the install or install(s). For me it's. E:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin Make shortcuts from these links below (Right click on them) and send to --> desktop Create shortcut) DCS_updater.exe DCS.exe(Launch without updating) You can copy DCS to as many drivers as you like and have as many version you like.

T_O_A_D Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 Thanks for the reply David OC I have done it that way several times, but this time the updater is giving me a fit. Renaming my drive didn't work by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David OC Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Did you run a repair and clean before updating?

T_O_A_D Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 Yes both gave me the original problem and or wanted to download the entire thing again. By the way it does appear to work now in single player, I tried to join a multiplayer last night I got in the room, then it said please wait for several minutes. So I did a taask Manager on it. I then rebooted the PC and fired up the game , and was told my user login was not right, so I manually typed it in and it gave me a couple of days authorization offline mode. At that point I went to another game, because the guys I was playing with soon found out that DCS Main Server shutdown or something. Because everyone lost connection and ability to multi-play. So we joked around that I caused it LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_O_A_D Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) Ok, I took a laptop into town borrowed some broadband and installed it there. copied every thing over and I can get the game to run but not get most of my modules to work. https://imgur.com/2eEGnTA I've exhausted myself several times with reloading and even manage to finally get this function to work. and it created a folder of salvaged files and reloaded them, I have 122 gigs on this install so I know the stuff is there. " How to install DCS without Internet on PC ? (or traffic issues on PC) Due to the rather large volume of the simulator there are often questions about copying of DCS World, which is already downloaded on another computer. "Frontal" way of copying might work, but sooner or later it will end up in a complete reinstall. How to properly and safely do this: 1. Copy the existing module to any temporary location (external Flash Drive), preserving the folder structure of simulator (for example, E:\DCSCopy\). 2. Create in the root directory of the DCS simulator the text file with the title: dcs_local_source.txt 3. The contents of the file is the path to a temporary directory, in this case (UTF-8!): E:\DCSCopy\ 4. Run DCS World web installer and follow the installation process. The Updater will read the dcs_local_source.txt file and find your existing files, compare the version numbers, download all the required and will install it correctly. 5. After installation of DCS World on second PC, you can delete the temporary directory." https://i.imgur.com/s01HVQk.png Edited January 20, 2020 by T_O_A_D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_O_A_D Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 Solution Started all over with new install, but first I renamed old install and the DCS folder in 'Saved Games" located in 'My Documents to protect it before the install of the new installation.

I then took my Mods folder from old install and copied it into my new install Then I downloaded the installers located here. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B1FNNwU4xwU-Ti00QWE2cWF6c2s Info on that I have a license for the module but I can't install it via Module Manager? If you have a serial number for the module (purchased in other store or from Steam) at first you have to bind it to account here: License serial number check, more information here: License informational Page and after that you will be able to install your product via Module Manager. If you already check out all your serial numbers and they are bound to account and you still can't install Modules, so... This is a quick solution for your problem : 1. Please download install batch file for your module, put this file to the root \DCS World\ folder and run it once. Should be installed your module. 2. After that run any mission and activate by your key. If your module is not listed, then download any version, open the file with editor (Notepad++) and change the module name to one that does not manage to install, save under the desired file name and put this file to root DCS World folder and run it once. The correct name (Module_ID) you can take from this page. I ran those to get my modules to install into the new installation. Once that was done I deleted the new DCS folder in "Saved Games" and renamed my original back to DCS Fired up the game, and began reintroducing my Input files back to the config of each aircraft. That is the most annoying thing of all this, so many updates in the past forced this, and something like this requires it also. Why or is there a easier way I just don't know. :( to get this new install with no decent broadband required installing it on a laptop with an external HD, and borrowed broadband in town. Then taking that materiel and transferring it to my gaming machine. So all the above was basically done with the laptop. Short installing DCS world in both machines so I could get the shortcuts in my Start Menu. On my Gamer I just stopped the download so I didn't waste my allotted 50gig a month and then the introduction of the input files after it was all transferred into my gaming PC. I have my actual install "X:\DCS World\bin\DCS.exe" in a separate SSD drive from my OS so if you do that you have that to consider when setting up.
