Hi guys, 

Is it just me or is OVGME not working any more after the latest DCS patch 2.9.10.3948 (the one with the new fog)?

 

If I try to enable any mod in OVGME I get an error:

"Backup creation error for Mod '_______', the Mod cannot be installed" 

Any ideas how to get it to work again?

 

Big thanks in advance!

Hi CommandT

Still working for me as well, but for some reason (I haven't worked out yet?) a few won't load with OVGME.

This has always been the case for me, since I've been using OVGME for about 2 years now.

For these few mods I still use the older JSGME, which still works.

So I use a combination of OVGME (95%) & JSGME (5%) to load all my mods

If none are loading with OVGME, might be corrupted & probably need to re-install & do a repair on DCS?

Thanks guys. Problem solved by deleting and re-installing OVGME! 🙂 

You do know OvGME has a successor? Open Mod Manager, and is actively developed by the same dev as OvGME.

I didn't know that, thanks! I'll look into it...

And here I still use OvGME, because if it ain't broke... I don't wanna fix it. 🙃

I did know, tried it several times but couldn’t get used to it, OvGME meets my needs and its more intuitive and easier to use.

Then by all means keep using OvGME: I will as well since OMM would mess up my Caucasus mods. I tried it, noticed it's confusing and doesn't do what I want it to, so I removed it again 🙂

By all means. It was just a tip for OP. It's different, I wanted a new app that I found better with more and new features.
Can be used by other games too. I guess OvGME can also do that?

It's pretty easy once you get to know it. Pretty much does exactly the same thing.

For large graphics mods I've stopped using it and gone to SLAM, which can apply Lucshep's/Bartheks's in seconds and don't do "any" writes on the drive.

Same here. OVGME still works as expected for me. Never had an issue. And tbh, I can’t imagine how it should fail, since it basically just copy/paste and keeps track.

Maybe some folders got renamed by the update?

On another note, I notice myself using less and less mods with every update, because DCS introduces features I happened mods for all the time. 

Of course there are still plenty cool mods.

Oh for me it's very basic too: I use Barthek Caucasus textures and Taz trees, but other than that it's just some files I made myself: my own main menu backgrounds, I replaced some liveries (especially the default plastic toy F-16 ones by ED), better PDL lights and my own countermeasure programmes. That's it.

Possibly, but also a lot of extras that I don't need. I don't need "my community" (whatever that means) to decide which mods I use or don't use, I'll do that myself.
Also, using Taz trees triggered OMM to uninstall Barthek terrain textures... 🙄

yes it can, in fact applying mods to saved games and to the dcs main folder is like having two separate games.

Yeah Open Mod Manager looked way too overkill for what I really need which is to effectively enable and disable Barteks Caucuses, Taz trees and Bandit's weather mod. So I would also like to keep using it whilst it works and since it's so simple and I don't require anything else at this time.

same here. thanks to @Rudel_chw's kind advice i sticked to OVGME. i am sure the dev did a wonderful job with OMM, and it's probably very powerful, but it seems too complex and not accessible enough to me. and the thing is, when you mess with mods, you wanna make sure you dont mess up 😆
