Addons not working after moving DCS install folder (Steam) via "Steam move"


Recommended Posts

I had DCS installed via Steam on c drive. I wanted to get a new disk to replace my current c drive. I used Steam "move" option to move DCS to the d drive, where I want it to remain.

Following the move of the game folder, I am experiencing issues with VAICOM community and DCS-UFC. Based on my conversation on VAICOM discord, it seems that there are still "bread crumbs" of add ons in the DCS folder I moved. Where can I find/remove them?
What is the best way to fix this without uninstalling/reinstalling DCS ?

because you mentioning you have mod issue. Try rename your Saved Games\DCS folder, restart the game generate a clean configuration. if it's working reinstall the mods and move your input profile back.

 If you or steam accidently forget some of your DLCs.

Steam Support :: Find Downloadable Content (DLC) for My Games (steampowered.com)

Go to the DLC tab and make sure your DLC is enabled.

If you want cleanup the DCS install in steam: use the backup and restore feature.

 

"Move" feature will move everything, including extra files you add into installation. did not check if they were valid.

"verify" feature did not care addition files you add to the game.

 

"steam backup" feature:

Steam Support :: Using the Steam Backup Feature (steampowered.com)

"backup" only packs and restores the "vanilla" files. backup the game, delete remaining files, the restore. you have the clean install.

You obviously need to point VAICOM to the new path in the control panel. Did you do that?
And after you have corrected the path, you can have VAICOM write the new registry values.
Cheers!
