LickyMyBlicky Posted May 28, 2024 Posted May 28, 2024 I have been getting the run around on trying to figure out how to download mods for DCS. I am currently on standalone DCS version 2.9.5.55300, and I keep getting a notification for failed authorization when I try to open DCS with the Currenthill mods. I started by trying to do it manually, then used Ovgme to try and get it to work and these notifications keep popping up, and I cannot use them. I've tried all of the troubleshooting techniques suggested on YouTube and in the DCS forums but there doesn't seem to be a workaround for me so far. The OVgme route that I am sending the mods through is C:\Users\*****\Saved Games\DCS World\Mods\tech and the mod is being placed in there properly by OVgme but it doesn't seem to matter if I do it manually or through OVgme or not. If someone knows a workaround or if this is a common/persisting issue right now please let me know so I can stop pulling my hair out trying to figure out what I am doing Wrong. Cheers!!!

LickyMyBlicky Posted May 28, 2024 Author Posted May 28, 2024 I don't believe it is in the program files because when I remove the mod from the Mods folder through saved games I do not get the message from DCS about an unauthorized DLC. But I am looking through my files right now to find anything related to DCS in program files, if I find that it is in the I will update this feed.
Solution LickyMyBlicky Posted May 28, 2024 Author Solution Posted May 28, 2024 I finally figured the thing out, when downloading DCS the main program file went into the C:\Users\*****\Saved Games\DCS World\Mods\tech file location, and after 8 hours of searching it were in the search file C:\Users\*****\Searches\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\tech this is the noncore game file that has the location for being able to add mods. Unfortunately, this took a good part of a day to figure out. No clue why it was placed under searches but I'm hoping this solves the problem completely. 1
