bought Black Shark today and only problems

[JG11Preusse]

Hey buddy, 23 pages!!! :joystick:

 

Time to try OS reinstallation , or wait for patch with fingers crossed.

 

1-2 hours for OS, drivers and other software at max? way less than what you spent in this thread (days). I really think it's worth a try.

 

The worse that can happen is...having a fresh and ready installation so it never hurts! :)

 

sure 1 or 2 hours for a fresh system. did i told you, that this notebook is almost new and the system is "fresh" ???

 

lokk what games are allready on this computer and then tell me how many more 1-2 hours it will need to install them again.

 

if i had a 2 year old system and installed and deinstalled tons of programs, then i would understand your suggestion.

in this case i dont understand it.

 

all in all it is everything but not logical, taht not the smallest problem is here with this system, but only this one and only peace of software bs wont work.

 

more funny is, that the game itself works, but the launcher wont bring the menue up ..... also in opengl mode/ single player.

 

so what ? mess everything up, because this ??

[JG11Preusse]

Sorry if I sounded rough, what I ment to say was that you have tried hard to get BS to run without complete success, many people have given good advice & it still wont run. The only logical step now is a clean OS +BS.

Its a radical action only if you have the desire. Im not saying you should.

 

But BS is a nice piece of work.

 

Best of luck...Shad

 

 

i guess a nice peace of work also would run here :) fc2.0 does

Hei mate, you do know computers and informatics right? then here's he trick you probably also know and experienced: computer problems are not always logical nor you need to understand how you fixed them, just accept that weird things happen. I've been fixing computers for almost 20 years and I've seen all the gamma of illogical, imposible to comprehend problems being fixed by also non-understanable ways.

 

So yes, I'm absolutelly telling you, next move is reinstalling OS. Definitelly. At least we'll know if it fixes the problem or not, and continue forward.

What he said. Plus after a while you start from ground up with as few variables as possible and then you add brick by brick taking notes after each step.

 

Enough theory. If you're not eager to go clean OS use the following procedure:

- make a backup image of system and maybe other critical disk (partition) e.g. laptops has some backup partition hidden

- format the system partition and install fresh system

- install and test DCS BS

 

After you're done you can either stay with the new setup or go back in less than 20 minutes to the exactly same state like your computer was before. Like the system reinstallation never happened.

 

For creating disk images use Acronis True Image. A brilliant piece of software that can save you many hours, days and good health.

this is a good idea.

will try to find your mentioned backup software.

 

>>>> found it, but it costs 50 euro :)

 

do you maybe know a backup program like this as freeware or more cheap ?

 

would sound funny to buy a 50 euro software to test a 39 usd software :)

Edited April 21, 2010 by JG11Preusse

[KillaALF]

There is a free test-version available, too. I think its limited to 30 days use, that should give you plenty of time.

[Panzertard]

If you have Win 7 pro/ultimate - what about the builtin backup?

Should be able to back up to an external disk - as images.

I'm also a "if it ain't free it ain't for me" guy but believe me, this piece of software is worth every penny. Just like Total Commander and IrfanView if it was payware ;)

 

For now use the trial

Always check trials at Softpedia as they publish what are the trials limitations exactly.

total commander and irfan view is software for the daily use ... i agree.

also bought fraps and other programs, but 50 euro for a backup 1 time or 2 times a year is hard :)

Image software works when your system image is fresh and/or clean, but if you're trying to stablish if your system has something wrong but you haven't taken the image yet, then it's useless (because the image most probably will have the same problem, I'm being cpt. Obvious here XD). So, for JG11Preusse, the best way to know if his system is ok is to format and reinstall a fresh system. Also, might work to use the backup/restore points that windows have created, but those points have to be up to the first day he installed W7 to know for sure the system is ok.

Distiler, you didn't get the point of my recommendation. He will test DCS on a clean system and if he checks that clean system is not a remedy he will be back to his old system like the whole system reinstallation never happened. Image software restores whatever image you created.

awww my bad, I've just read the sentence XD

Yes, would be usefull for that purpose of course.

[ShadowVonChadwick]

Image software works when your system image is fresh and clean, but if you're trying to establish if your system has something wrong, those are useless except if the image is taken after system installation (perhaps with some custom drivers and some software, but you then won't be 100% sure). So, for JG11Preusse, the only way to know if his system is ok is to format and reinstall a fresh system. Also, might work to use the backup/restore points that windows have created, but those points have to be from the first day he installed W7 to know for sure the system is ok.

24 pages BTW

 

The ideas is that he save image of existing OS so he can past back in latter if he has no luck with a fresh OS install plus BS.

 

"BootitNG" from TeraByte the software I use. Primarly a Boot Mannger but can be used as stand alone bootable floopy/CD. It will first create a floppy or CD image for installation purpose and/or run straight of the removable medium just created. It can create image to internal or external drive if supported in bios. The reverse is true obviously. It can create and/or resize patitions with out loss of data. (plus other stuff)

 

And its fully functional and free. If instaled on HD as Bootmanger you have 30 days trial. but you dont need to install.

Being a powerfull piece of low level software it is not for the faint hearted.

 

Better to run BS of your girlfriends Laptop for now I think.

Good luck ...Shad

did i told you all, that the game works without any problems in multiplayer mode and also perfect in singleplayermode, when i start it with a tool named dcs or dws (forgott the name).

 

no sound issues, no video issues, no other issues.

 

the only thing what dont works is, that i cant reach the menue.

so maybe there is also a tool, with what i can reach the menue or make setting for the game ???

 

only this funny launcher.exe makes problems

Edited April 22, 2010 by JG11Preusse

[Bucic]

Do the clean installation of OS and BS and we'll see. Don't install any security software or other crap before DCS BS.

I think all the options of the game can also be manipulated by directly opening the lua files (with an editor like notepad++) and editing the values.

i tried to find something to setup my joystick x52, but no idea how to to it.

for example:

 

to use the thrust slider of the joustick as pitch (angle of the rotorblades) is a problem for me.

i alltime have the very smal slider at teh side of the thrust-unit as pitch, but cant get the big thrustslider let do this funktion.

also i need an inverted methode ...... thrust back = more blade angle (different way then fixed wings).

I think it should not be your concern right now. If you want us to keep guiding you through this you have to report on the recent test. Is it fine now? What you did?

if i can setup everything without buying 50 euro software for a backup, then i wont setup the wohle system new.

 

all in all i only will have time for something like this at weekends.

 

if i can fully use bs without the launcher.exe and the main menue, then i am happy.
