-sulan- Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Hi! I'd very much like to buy the english download version, but the computer I intend to play it on currently doesnt have an internet connection... Questions: Can I buy and activate it on one computer and then play it on another? If not; Can I haul my gaming PC to work and buy and activate it there and then play at home without internet? (or does it need to phone home regularly?) Will the boxed DVD version require an internet connection to be played? Thank you (ps. Spent some time searching before posting, promise!!)
Zembla Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 I think the game only requires the internet to exchange some data during the activation process. So if you can get it to connect to the net to activate it, I think you'll be fine. Maybe someone else can confirm or deny...? -Z [sigpic][/sigpic] I aaaaaam ... a banana!

Maybe someone else can confirm or deny...? -Z Sounds promising! :) Thank you! btw, it'd be nice if ED had a little more detailed information (on the DCS sites E-shop) about how buying a download works, for people like me who's never bought an app/game like that..
-sulan- Posted January 19, 2009 Author Posted January 19, 2009 btw.. Is it possible to buy the download, move it to my offline PC and do a phone activasion there? also: I read somewhere in the "troubleshooting" part of the forums that in order to get the trackIR to work, one needs the latest version - ok fine - AND some "updated games list" or some such for the trackIR software.. The Naturalpoint site seams to suggest that I'll get that after I install their newest software, implying that I need an internet connection to get it. Bottom line: I might not get my trackIR to work just cause I don't have an internet connection!?! Or am I just generally confused as ussual? Any help much appreciated!! Thanks!!
C6_Hellfrog Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 TrackIR : to have it work with BS you need 4.1.36 driver : if not on CD with your hardware, a net link is needed to download. But you can download it elsewhere and tranfser with USB key ...

But you can download it elsewhere and tranfser with USB key ... That I did, I was reffering to some "Gamelist update" that the (4.1.36) software would want to do after it was installed which would require an internet connection (I made a confusing very post :P).. Thx for your reply anyway!! :) edit: So can I get BS now and use it on an offline PC or do I have to wait for the boxed version? Edited January 20, 2009 by -sulan-

If the PC that you want to run BS on does not have internet connection, you can activate BS either via eMail or the StarForce ProActive website. If the automatic activation process fails because SF cannot connect to the activation server, it generates a hardware code to identify your system. You can use this code together with your serial to activate BS via eMail/website. As Matt said here the boxed version will also use internet activation, so it's the same activation procedure.

P.S.: If the link doesn't work, try http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/06-support/support-download-software-and-manuals.html . Game list update file is in section named "Game Updates".
