Ski01 Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Thanks all - I needed to create exception both for virus buster (Gridinsoft) and Defender - then it was sorted
Mike_CK Posted March 14 Posted March 14 I have the same issue. My McAfee is long expired since I never use my PC to browse internet. So I’m guessing I have just windows defender. Can someone tell me how to “add DCS as an exception”? I’m not too good with this stuff

JakeSoft Posted March 15 Posted March 15 (edited) In the most recent patch the F-14 shows up as being disabled as if the license expired, but I've purchesed it and it still shows up in my profile on the ED website. I attempted to uninstall then reinstall the F-14 module. I get an error message saying that a file can't be moved. (See attached image). Others on my Discord have reported the same issue.

amamiyasoyogi Posted March 15 Posted March 15 Same problem in steam version. The game can only run withou F-14, and cannot be repaired.

JakeSoft Posted March 15 Posted March 15 (edited) Adding the DCS install folder as an exclusion to windows security worked. I followed this process. Edited March 15 by JakeSoft 1 1
scotth6 Posted March 15 Posted March 15 I assume there is some sort of inhouse checks to ensure that no malicious files are included in install files? Otherwise why are people so quick to turn off their antivirus. If my anti virus labels something as "severe" and quarantines it, and labels it as a trojan, I'd at least want to look into this file before just ignoring it. nullnull
Archangel44 Posted March 15 Posted March 15 (edited) I thought that would do it for me Jake but it didn't, however, thanks for your time and help. Like the others, after the campaign update I get the same pop-up and I can't fly the bird. Did a cleanup and a repair then tried the Windows Security as you have laid out, still no joy. I remembershortly after the F-15E came online, some of us were getting a potential virus alert from Windows security and adding it the exclusion list fixed that issue. I went as far as turning off the MS virus/security and that didn't fix it. I reckon I'll watch this thread and wait for a fix.

The sequence you described is that you first did the repair and then the AV exclusion. The repair would not have worked as the AV would have just removed the offending files again. Once you have the AV exclusion, do the repair so that it restores the required files. 1 1
Archangel44 Posted March 15 Posted March 15 (edited) Doing it now. I just found the other 4 page thread and read through it. Update........................ That fixed it. Exclude the DCS folder in Windows Defender and then did a DCS repair.

Tvelocity Posted March 16 Posted March 16 If you're having this problem with Windows Defender, here's a solution: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/5924-add-remove-microsoft-defender-antivirus-exclusions-windows-10-a.html I excluded the entire ED folder and it corrected the situation. You might have to reinstall the module if WD quarantined the dll in question.
SOLIDKREATE Posted March 16 Posted March 16 (edited) I had the same issue. I did a clean reinstall of the game. You have to install this plane seperately. This means you can't do a select all in the 'Available Files'. You have to install all other aircraft first, then this one. ***** NEW ISSUE ***** No ability to fly this plane despite having 'Player' selected for either the F-14A-GR-135 or the F-14B. The plane is treated as 'AI' no matter what. .

It did however let me actually install it. I just can't fly it. It will populate on the map and I can even load the plane up. The game just treats it like an AI asset rather than a module.

AndreNL Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Dear all, Well, Since last time I get the message: dlc f-14 not authorized during the startup of the game I can't play this module anymore. Anyone has an idea?
