Sprool Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Help please - after downloading the F-14 Heatblur around Christmas time for 48 hr trial period I keep getting the popup when starting DCS - F-14 not authorised. I'm not sure which folders its safe to delete, I also see its mentioning the F-14 in the autoupdate config file which I broke, then mended. How can I get rid of the files and the popup?
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted February 24, 2020 ED Team Posted February 24, 2020 Hi please use the module manager to remove the F-14 module thanks Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Sprool Posted March 2, 2020 Author Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) I removed it when I finally found the module manager, but although the pop-up is gone it still fails the multiplayer integrity check and prevents me from joining some servers, saying pure client needed? My antivirus blocked the DCS repair process as it was trying to reinstall the F-14 Heatblur common dll, which it recognises as a virus infection. This now causes intermittant problems with starting DCS as 2 times out of 3 I just get the logo and background music, nothing else. I have to press ctrl+alt+delete and quit then try again. It seems I am unable to get the damned F-14 off my system now without damaging my install of DCS :( Edited March 3, 2020 by Sprool
Sprool Posted March 3, 2020 Author Posted March 3, 2020 Upate - possibly over-zealous antivirus software wiping the F-14 dll file, creating corrupt version of DCS which then causes failure to launch program correctly every time. Time to test alternative AV, see if it solves the issue. Wish Heatblur would make it easier to cleanly uninstall the aircraft and all its files :(
