Jester_74 Posted January 5 Posted January 5 good morning everyone and happy 2025. I'm having a problem.. when I entered the world of DCS I bought some planes/helicopters/scenarios (A-10,F-14,F-15,AH-64t, AV-8B, F-4, Super carrier). Now of these it only loads A-10 and AH-64 and recently when I load the game it tells me that all the others are disabled.. I go into my account and when I search for the objects before it told me that I had already bought them, now they have to be purchased... Has this already happened to others? Do you know what happened? Desktop Screenshot 2025.01.05 - 13.03.30.72.jxr
Solution razo+r Posted January 5 Solution Posted January 5 Make sure your anti virus has not removed or quarantined any files of DCS. If it did, restore them and add DCS as an exception. Make sure that you also remove all mods and then run a repair for good measures and then try again. 1
MAXsenna Posted January 5 Posted January 5 I'm starting to believe that ED might want to put disclaimers in their store page that "Due to piracy, we have opted for a protection that will trigger your Anti-Virus solution and disable your modules, unless ED folders are excluded!", or something along those lines. What I do not understand, is that people will post before doing a quick Google search. If you have a problem. Chances are you will not be the first. Hundreds of post on this four last year alone, should give people some clues. It's all getting a little ridiculous and tedious explaining this.Cheers! Apologies for the rant.

I've done some researchs before posting it.... if I wrote my discussion is due to the fact that I didn't find any answers or I'm not a good NERD to find the things on internet. 1 ora fa, razo+r ha scritto: Make sure your anti virus has not removed or quarantined any files of DCS.

Do u suggest to unistall everything and then reinstall it?

MAXsenna Posted January 5 Posted January 5 might be a possible reason... even though my anti virus didn't give me any notification aobut it... but it seems that is DCS that is disabling my products.. Do u suggest to unistall everything and then reinstall it? Some AV solutions have a funny way of giving notifications. Exclude the core installation folders and the Saved Games folders, then do a full repair and you should be good to go.It's not DCS that disables the modules. It's the AV solution that removes the files that enables the modules. It's the same as putting mods in the core folders instead of Saved Games. DCS can't find the files.One shouldn't need to be a nerd to play DCS. It's just that these questions surface every week, and frustrates, rightly so, a lot of users. Might be a good idea for ED to have the info somewhere more in plain sight. That was all.Cheers! Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk 1

Happens often enough to virtually guarantee it's an anti-virus issue (McAfee, Avira, ESET being amongst the most common offenders). Uninstall/reinstall is also virtually never required with DCS. There is a repair option which will solve almost any problem that uninstall would and will be much faster than downloading the whole thing again. In this case uninstall isn't going to help you anyway because the anti-virus will simply quarantine the same file again (unless it happens to have updated to whitelist the file in the meantime). You will, however, need to do a repair to get the file back once you get your antivirus sorted. 3
